PROBY SCORES 31 IN DISMANTLING OF LONGWOOD

AP- The game was out of hand before the first half even ended. Within the first four minutes, West Virginia jumped out to a 20-1 lead and never looked back. West Virginia didn't even play their starters the entire second half, and still put up 73 points. By the end of the first half, West Virginia had a comfortable lead of 33, and ended up winning by a record setting margin of 80 points. Dee Proby once again came off the bench and provided a career night, scoring 31 points and grabbing thirteen rebounds, both career highs.

"This is something straight out of a video game" Proby told a reporter during the post-game press conference. "This is something you don't see everyday."

Devin Ebanks once again gave out a great game, scoring 15 points and grabbing five rebounds, all in the first half. The Reserves took over in the second half, and almost all of them had career nights aswell. Jonnie West, the son of legendary Jerry West scored 13 points and dished out four assists. Reserve guard Will Thomas scored 11 points and Reserve Forward John Flowers scored 10.

The Sixth Ranked Mountaineers take on the Deleware State Hornets on the Twenty Fifth.
