MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia forced 21 turnovers that turned into 26 points and that powered the 20th-ranked Mountaineers to a season-opening 87-59 victory over Mount St. Mary’s at the WVU Coliseum tonight.
A curious crowd of 10,510 got their first look at the newly renovated concourse area to the 46-year-old arena, and then watched the same old Bob Huggins’ Mountaineers run away with another non-conference home victory - his 49th in 53 games since returning to his alma mater in 2008.
However, Huggins, now eight wins shy of 800 for his career, said he wasn’t overly thrilled with his team’s performance this evening.
