The Viejas Arena in San Diego, California will have a Charleston Civic Center feel to it on Sunday when the No. 5-seed West Virginia Mountaineers will take on the No. 13-seed Marshall Thundering Herd in the second round of the NCAA tournament East region, after the Mountaineers raced to a 85-68 win over the No. 12-seed Murray State Racers in the first round.
Both teams looked sluggish early on, with the Mountaineers holding an 16-9 advantage midway through the first half. West Virginia extended their lead to 23-15 following an and one play from freshman Teddy Allen.
