Boakai Clement scored a career-high 26 points and hit eight three-pointers to lead No. 7 West Virginia to a 104-79 victory over Rhode Island in the quarterfinal round of the Palm Tree Shootout this evening in Tampa, FL.

Losing four starters to the draft didn't seem to affect the Mountaineers (1-0) much offensively. They were unconscious from beyond the arc, where they shot 19/41 (46%). They also shot 54% (37/69) from the field overall.

Charles Rickert added a career-high 25 points on 10/17 shooting from off the bench for West Virginia (1-0). Felipe Delgado added 14 points and a career-best six steals and Shannon Edwards contributed 11 points, nine rebounds, and four assists, just missing out on a double-double. Nik Buscher also fell one rebound short of a double-double as he totaled 16 points and nine boards on an efficient 6/9 from the field.

Senior forward Altron Brock scored 19 points to lead Rhode Island (1-1) in scoring. Fellow senior Diego Hehn tallied a 14-point, 10-assist double-double and Dayshawn Nicholson scored 12 points, but went 0/6 from beyond the arc. Godwin Zavackas added 10 points from off the bench.

As a team, Rhode Island shot 47% (32/68) from the field, but just 30% (6/20) from three-point range.

West Virginia will face South Carolina tomorrow in the Palm Tree Shootout Semifinals. The Gamecocks defeated Chattanooga 86-51 in the quarterfinal round today. The winner of tomorrow's game will face either Northeastern or Miami (FL) in the Palm Tree Shootout Championship Game on November 12th.

it's been a while bro! Finally caught up again. Devastating to lose in the Natty like that, but it was one hell of a run nonetheless. Great season bruh and nice job snagging that beautiful recruiting class.

vs.
#5 West Virginia (6-0) vs. La Salle (3-6)
Tom Gola Arena
Philadelphia, PA
November 28th, 2034

Fresh on the heels of a fairly dominating performance over then-No. 10 Georgia Tech last week in Morgantown, No. 5 West Virginia (6-0) narrowly escaped an upset this evening in Philadelphia, PA as they outlasted the La Salle Explorers 75-73.

The Explorers (3-6) had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but Homer Del Rosario missed a corner three-pointer off the side of the iron and the Explorers fell by two points to the No. 5 team in the land.

Del Rosario scored 15 points and grabbed four rebounds for the Explorers. Varney Worthington scored a team-high 24 points.

West Virginia shot a season-low 38% (25/65) from the floor and only won the rebounding battle 32-31.

La Salle threw a lot of double-teams at Nik Buscher and Shannon Edwards and limited their ability to do damage. This allowed the Mountaineers to get open looks from deep, but even shooting 39% (12/31) from three-point range wasn't enough to allow them to pull away. West Virginia shot just 38% (13/34) from inside the arc.

"This was a tricky game for us," explained West Virginia head coach James Frizzell. "We've played well this year, but we didn't bring our A-game tonight, and that won't go over well when you're playing on the road in a hostile environment. We'll take the win, but we'll certainly need to play better when we face better competition."

Nik Buscher scored 12 points to go along with nine rebounds, five assists, and a career-high seven blocks. West Virginia blocked a season-high 12 shots as a team. Shannon Edwards added 11 points, six rebounds, and four blocks and Felipe Delgado added 12 points. Eliz Pocius also tallied 14 points and four steals.

West Virginia will host Tennessee on Thursday evening.

Tennessee (5-3) vs. #5 West Virginia (7-0)
WVU Coliseum
Morgantown, WV
November 30th, 2034

Nik Buscher and Shannon Edwards posted double-doubles to lead No. 5 West Virginia (7-0) to an 80-70 victory over Tennessee (5-3) this evening in Morgantown, WV.

Buscher totaled 18 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists and Shannon Edwards added 14 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, but Edwards shot just 5/18 from the field. Felipe Delgado also tallied 14 points and four rebounds and Boakai Clement added 11 points and five boards.

The Mountaineers dominated the glass this evening, outrebounding Tennessee 46-31. West Virginia shot just 38% (30/80) from the floor and Tennessee shot 47% (29/62), but WVU's rebounding advantage, particularly on the offensive end, proved decisive.

Elmore Jenkins scored a team-high 16 points for Tennessee. Carson Spears added 11 points and six rebounds and Al Minnifield scored 12 points from off the bench.

Tennessee led West Virginia 44-40 at the half, but the Mountaineers locked up after halftime on the defensive end, holding the Volunteers to just 26 second half points after surrendering 44 points in the first half.

Next up for West Virginia is a home date with cross-state rival Marshall on Sunday.
