BOSTON — With 3-point shooting that was timely and lethal, Villanova made another Sweet 16 turn sour for West Virginia.
Senior guards Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles couldn’t extend their college careers as the Mountaineers lost 90-78 on Friday night, falling in the regional semifinal for the third time in four seasons.
“I felt like we gave it everything we had,” said Carter, who bowed out with 12 points, eight assists and four steals — a gritty performance that typified the second-winningest player in school history.
Miles scored a team-high 16 points despite being curbed by foul trouble for West Virginia (26-11).
