MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- James "Beetle" Bolden and Esa Ahmad each scored 15 points to lead West Virginia over Youngstown State 106-72 on Saturday.
It took no time at all for the offense to get started for the Mountaineers (5-2), as Bolden scored 11 points in the first five minutes, leading WVU on a 16-5 opening run.
"Our ball movement and our movement in general is a lot better," West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said.
While Youngstown State (3-6) remained solid shooting the ball at times, it relied too much on pulling up beyond the arc.
