If ever there were a method to the madness, it was on display Sunday as Joe Mazzulla willed West Virginia to a victory against No. 10 Marquette. He may look it and act it as he plays, but It would be unfair to say Mazzulla is crazy.

Then again …

“You don’t know the half of it,” teammate Joe Alexander.

The half we know of says Mazzulla is an energetic, tireless competitor, a champion track star who lives life just as fast and takes things an hour at a time. He shares an apartment with teammates Da’Sean Butler, Jonnie West and Cam Thoroughman and they’ll to do random things, like steel cage matches or buy Mazzulla a parrot for his birthday over the summer.

“I was ecstatic,” he said.

That other half? I’m told we wouldn’t believe it, but that it needs investigated.

“You should do a documentary on him. That’s a story. A documentary on Joe Mazzulla’s life,” Alexander said.

I’m in.
