It wasn’t a blowout. It wasn’t really a barn-burner, either. It was a win Mountaineer fans have seen many times this season. (And we certainly weren’t scared.)
West Virginia shot the ball extremely well against the Bison; 45.5 percent from the field, 45 percent from three, and 72.4 percent from the free-throw line. Bucknell shot good too – if not better than WVU (45.8 percent, 45, and 73.9), but it was rebounding where the ‘Eers took advantage.
The defensive glass was about even, 25 to 23 in WVU’s favor, but it was the offensive glass that was the deciding factor.
