For much of Sunday’s game, West Virginia hadn’t been able to do this. But in a two-minute span late in the second half, the No. 11 Mountaineers got back to what they do best.
After a missed layup, guard Jordan McCabe scrambled for the rebound, dished to guard Taz Sherman and watched as his teammate sunk a 3-pointer. Then two possessions later, forward Derek Culver leaped between two Georgetown defenders, pulled in the rebound and finished a second-chance opportunity.
And to cap the decisive 9-0 run from West Virginia, Sherman scored at the rim, part of his team’s 14 second-chance points in the second half.
