West Virginia extends win streak with Youngstown State beatdown

The West Virginia Mountaineers (5-2) extended their win streak to four games this evening with a 106-72 drubbing of the Youngstown State Penguins (3-6) in Morgantown.

Sagaba Konate returned to the starting lineup after sitting out with a recurring knee injury against Rider on Wednesday, and started things off with a dunk to get things rolling. Beetle Bolden followed that up with a three pointer to put the Mountaineers up 5-0 less than two minutes into the game. That lead would climb to 20-8 with the help of two more threes from Bolden, and the rout was on.
