AMES, Iowa — West Virginia will be without junior guard Beetle Bolden when the Mountaineers visit No. 20 Iowa State on Wednesday.
The team’s third-leading scorer at 12.2 points per game, Bolden landed awkwardly on his ankle in the second half of Saturday’s loss to No. 1 Tennessee. After going to the locker room, he returned with his ankle wrapped in ice and did not play again.
After missing two days of practice, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said Bolden didn’t make this trip.
“I’d be lying if I didn’t say that it hurts us,” Huggins said.
