The West Virginia Mountaineers improved to 3-0 on the season with Tuesday’s 75-57 win over the Morehead State Eagles in Morgantown.
The win leaves Bob Huggins just one game away from tying Jim Calhoun for third place all-time in career wins.
Tre Mitchell exploded for 21 points and six rebounds in his first Mountaineer start. Mo Wague and Jimmy Bell both finished with 10 points each, with Bell pulling down eight rebounds. Emmitt Matthews and Erik Stevenson each added nine points.
Noticeably missing from action today was sophomore James Okonkwo. The 6’8” forward had played in both of WVU’s previous games but did not make it off the bench this evening, even after the game was well in hand.
