January 26th, 2028
West Virginia (19-1, 8-0) won its 16th consecutive game this evening as the No. 2 Mountaineers trounced Cincinnati 77-55. The Bearcats (12-10, 3-6) have now lost four consecutive games and are seeing their once-promising season quickly spiral out of control.
The Mountaineers took an early lead and, as has become customary this year, maintained a solid advantage throughout in an easy-going 20-point home victory.
Tre Welch led the way for WVU with 19 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks. Deno Woodards added 16 points and three boards while Waitari Trammell paced the offense at point guard with 10 points, five assists, and three steals. Fellow point guard Fred Joiner also came off the bench to add 17 points and three rebounds.
Freshman forward Ervin Nicholas led Cincinnati in scoring with 11 points and three rebounds. Christian Butler tallied 10 points and seven rebounds while Marty Hoskins added 10 points.
Next, the Mountaineers will hit the road to take on Connecticut this coming Saturday.
