UNCASVILLE, Conn. — West Virginia will suit up for Sunday’s 1 p.m. Hall of Fame Holiday Showcase, at the Mohegan Sun Casino, betting that facing one team from the Atlantic 10 won’t be like the first time.
West Virginia’s 97-90 victory against St. Joseph’s in Myrtle Beach was an offensive showcase featuring a combined 28 3-pointers.
That’s just two less than Rhode Island (4-3) has made all season.
“Our defense is much more ahead of our offensive game, that’s for sure,” said Rhode Island coach David Cox, who is in his first season taking over for Danny Hurley.
