Young was named to the all-Big East team for his regular season performances. Young's best performances of the season came in the NIT Tournament though, when he opened up against Delaware State with 17 points. He followed up that performance with a career-high 31 points against UMass, then 25 points and 5 rebounds against NC State. Young totaled 73 points alone so far in the Tourney, as the Mountaineers moved to their last NIT semifinal appearance since 1981. In the semifinal game against Mississippi State, won by a Darris Nichols' three-point buzzer-beater 63-62, Young scored 16 points, second on the team, and grabbed 6 rebounds. Two days later, when the Mountaineers won the NIT Championship against Clemson 78-73, Young led the team in one of his best performances with 24 points on just 10 shots from the field and 5 rebounds. Young's final game had him leading his team in points, tied for the lead in the game with rebounds, and was 6-7 in three-point shooting. Young totaled 113 points in the five tourney games of his senior year, which were the greatest games his career as he ended his senior season with strong performances, leading his team to the Championship, and Young was named the tournament's MVP with 22.3 points per game.
