MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – These 25-point victories are starting to become a habit for West Virginia at the WVU Coliseum.
After a slow start, the 19th-ranked Mountaineers used 17 first-half points off the bench from guard Jaysean Paige to bury Eastern Kentucky 84-59 Monday night in Morgantown.
“We make the run and then it was a very lackluster effort by us in the second half,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins, who earned his 775th career win tonight. Huggins is now one victory shy of Cliff Ellis for 12th place on the NCAA all-time wins list.
