Morgantown, West Virginia – The West Virginia Mountaineers moved to 11-1 and extended its winning streak to 8 games by beating Youngstown State (7-4) 82-52, despite a very slow start in the first half. The Mountaineers once again came out with no energy early in the game and only led 24-23 at halftime.
However, the second half was a very different story. Senior guard Sean McNeil got hot in the second half, scoring 23 points on 4-4 from three point range after going scoreless in the first half.
In addition to McNeil’s 23, fellow senior guard Taz Sherman had 16 points. Sophomore forward Jalen Bridges added 9 points, 8 rebounds and 2 steals.
