WVU GETS IT’S FIRST BIG WIN OF THE SEASON

By Matt Whitfield

This past Saturday four West Virginia players scored in double digits and defensively the Mountaineers held Ohio State to 26 points in the paint, as they rolled to a 76-48 victory over then #15 ranked Ohio State.

Despite being thoroughly out-sized in this game West Virginia would take the lead early in the first half and never relinquish it. Every West Virginia starter would have at least 9 points as the much smaller Mountaineers would out score and outrebound Ohio State en route to their first victory over a ranked opponent this season.

After the game coach Huggins said, "It's a quality win…. It means we have two days off and then get ready to play in the Big East." Huggins and the Mountaineers begin Big East season play this Saturday when they visit New Jersey to take on Seton Hall at the Prudential Center. Gametime is set for 4:00 PM.
