#20 Cincinnati (14-6) vs. #1 West Virginia (19-0)
WVU Coliseum
Morgantown, WV
January 26rd, 2034
Top-ranked West Virginia (19-0, 7-0) pulled away in the second half to defeat No. 20 Cincinnati 90-70 this evening in Morgantown.
The Bearcats (14-6, 5-3) jumped out to a 19-8 lead early on and led the Mountaineers for most of the first half before WVU took their first lead of the game in the closing minutes of the half. Cincinnati grabbed the lead back after halftime and both teams traded leads for much of the second half before the Mountaineers went on an extended run midway through the half to take a double-digit lead, a lead they never relinquished the rest of the way as they ended up winning by 20 points.
"It was one of those patented runs we've seen from them a lot this year," explained Cincinnati head coach Joe Jones. "They finally started hitting their threes and there's nothing we could do as they took a close game and turned it into a blowout just like that."
Myron DeLeon scored 16 points and added four assists to lead the Mountaineers in scoring. His four threes were instrumental to West Virginia's run to blow open the game. Skip Bradford added 14 points and seven rebounds and Dedrick Packevicius scored 10 points. Ije Przybyszewski only came one rebound and two assists short of a triple-double as he totaled 10 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, and five steals. Shannon Edwards came off the bench to scored 11 points and grab five boards.
Senior forward Jerrod Buckman came off the bench to scored 19 points and grab nine rebounds to lead the Bearcats in both categories. Gregory Carlson and Torris Winklfield scored 12 and 11 points, respectively.
The Mountaineers outrebounded Cincinnati 43-29 and shot an impressive 14/30 (47%) from beyond the arc.
Next, West Virginia has one day off before hosting Notre Dame on Saturday.
