Recap West Virginia shot just 16.7 percent in the first half, finished the game shooting 26.1 percent overall and needed all 40 minutes to hold off Monmouth, 64-54, during the season opener at the WVU Coliseum. An announced crowd of 6,792 watched in disbelief as Monmouth built a 37-23 lead with 16:39 remaining and the Hawks had a 13-point advantage with 13:30 left when the Mountaineers finally started making some shots and began chipping away at Monmouth’s lead. A Jaysean Paige 3 got things going, Gary Browne added a big steal and layup, an Elijah Macon tip-in got the deficit down to six and eventually, two Juwan Staten free throws with 4:47 left gave the Mountaineers back the lead, 49-48. Two more Staten free throws made it 51-48 and then a Staten jumper got the lead to five with 3:18 left. The margin swelled to seven on a Devin Williams basket and another Williams bucket and free throw with 39 seconds left got the lead to eight. Staten led everyone with 20 points – 13 of those coming in the second half – and Williams finished with 15 points and 15 rebounds despite missing his first 11 shots and finishing the game 3 of 14 from the floor. WVU’s other starting big, Jonathan Holton, also struggled through a 1-of-9 shooting performance and finished the game with just two points. Holton and Williams weren’t the only ones struggling to find their shooting stroke: freshman Daxter Miles Jr. was 1 of 7 from the floor, junior Jevon Carter was 0 for 5 and Browne finished 2 of 7. Deon Jones led Monmouth with 14 points while Andrew Nicholas came off the bench to score 10. The Hawks turned the ball over 24 times and finished the game shooting 44.7 percent. The Mountaineers (1-0) were playing the game without Brandon Watkins, who sat on the bench with an illness and BillyDee Williams, who is sidelined indefinitely now after suffering a fracture to the orbital bone of the right eye during practice on Nov. 13.

Notebook• WVU improved to 91-15 all-time in season openers, including a 97-9 record in home openers.• The win was the 741st career win for Bob Huggins, moving him into a tie for 16th place with John Chaney in all-time Division I wins.

Recap Jonathan Holton scored 18 points and grabbed 15 rebounds and Devin Williams contributed a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double to lead West Virginia to an 83-56 win over Lafayette at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia (2-0) didn’t shoot the ball particularly well again, making 38.1 percent overall, but the Mountaineers dominated the glass (50-31), pressured Lafayette and put up 35 more shots than the Leopards. “We made some plays today that we didn’t make in the first game, obviously, or really the exhibition game,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “We ran some guys down from behind. We got our hands on some balls and we’ve got to do that. We only shoot 38 percent and we’re missing so many easy shots around the goal.” Jaysean Paige, who scored 16 points, really gave the Mountaineers a big lift in the first half when his teammates were struggling to find their shooting stroke. He banged in two 3s to give the Mountaineers a six-point lead, and then later hit a driving layup to put them ahead by nine with two minutes left in the first half. West Virginia held Lafayette scoreless over the remaining 2:29 of the first half to take a 15-point lead into the locker room. Continuing pressure got the lead to 20, 53-33, and then to 26, and the margin hovered around the 20-point for the remainder of the game. West Virginia forced Lafayette into 20 turnovers on 11 steals and limited the Leopards to shooting just 30.8 percent from 3 (4 of 13). Juwan Staten scored 10 points and handed out eight assists in 29 minutes of action. Dan Trist led Lafayette (1-1) with 12 points. Notebook• West Virginia was playing without Elijah Macon, who is back home in Columbus dealing with family medical emergency, as well as Brandon Watkins and BillyDee Williams, who both the opening game as well.• West Virginia had two players record double-doubles in the same game for the first time since Nov. 15, 2011.

Recap Sophomore forward Devin Williams posted his third consecutive double-double to lead the Mountaineers to a 91-65 victory over George Mason on the first day of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off at Coliseo Roberto Clemente. Williams, along with junior forward Jonathan Holton, led the Mountaineers with 16 points apiece. Williams grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds. Juwan Staten also reached double figures, finishing with 13 points. The Mountaineers (3-0) continue to have success with their full-court pressure, recording 16 steals and turning George Mason (1-2) over 24 times. WVU recorded 31 points off turnovers and had 21 second-chance points by recording 19 offensive rebounds for the game. “I thought we played very well for a stretch and got a big lead but then we relaxed and didn’t play very well,” said coach Bob Huggins. “Our press wasn’t very good. We started looking for shots and not looking to score which is something you can do subconsciously when you get a big lead which we did and from then on we didn’t play well. We just gave them the basketball and turned them loose in the second half which is not a good thing to do.” West Virginia shot 44.4 percent from the field and 34.6 percent (9 of 26) from 3-point range. Staten, Chase Connor and Gary Browne each hit two 3’s for WVU. Browne, playing his first collegiate game in his hometown of San Juan, finished with nine points, three assists and two steals in his 100th game as a Mountaineer. Elijah Macon finished with nine points for the Mountaineers. WVU led 53-27 at halftime and its biggest lead was 31 points, 65-34, with 14:16 remaining in the game. Notebook• West Virginia improved to 4-0 all-time against George Mason.• This was the first meeting against George Mason as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference.• WVU improved to 6-1 all-time in games played in Puerto Rico.

Recap West Virginia got 15 points off the bench from freshman guard Jevon Carter and some solid second-half shooting to knock off Boston College 70-66 in the semifinals of the Puerto Rico Tip-off played at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. “We got ourselves in a heck of a hole by 11 to that team and they’re good,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. “When you play a team like theirs with good guards who control the game and you’re screwing around not taking care of the ball and not finishing, you’re going to get in trouble and that’s exactly what we did. We missed a lot of opportunities, especially in that first half.” West Virginia (4-0) trailed the Eagles by 11 at halftime before catching fire behind the 3-point shooting of Carter and freshman guard Daxter Miles Jr., the two combining to hit four of seven from behind the arc. WVU shot a season-high 54.5 percent in the second half (18 of 33) and was also able to hang on despite Staten fouling out with 3:49 left in the game and the Mountaineers leading by just three, 60-57. From there, West Virginia scored five in a row on a free throw from forward Devin Williams and driving layups by Carter and Miles Jr. BC eventually reduced West Virginia’s lead to one, 65-64, on Olivier Hanlon’s driving layup. Williams fouled Hanlon on the play, but the BC guard was unable to knock down the free throw to tie it. Williams answered with a short jumper with 20 seconds left to put West Virginia ahead by three, 67-64, and free throws by Carter and Gary Browne put the game on ice. Williams and Staten contributed 15 points each while Miles Jr. finished with 10. Hanlan led the Eagles with a game-high 23 points. The Mountaineers forced the Eagles into committing 21 turnovers for the game and also had a four-rebound edge (34-30) on the glass. West Virginia attempted 13 more shots than Boston College, which was also a contributing factor in the victory.

Notebook• WVU improved to 9-8 all-time against Boston College.• The Mountaineers are now 5-0 all-time against Boston College on neutral courts.• WVU improved to 7-1 all-time in Puerto Rico, while Bob Huggins improved to 10-1 all-time in Puerto Rico.

Recap Juwan Staten finished with a game-high 21 points to lead West Virginia to a 78-68 victory over the defending national champion Connecticut to claim the 2014 Puerto Rico Tip-Off in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Staten was named MVP of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off and joining him on the all-tournament team was forward Devin Williams, whose play the prior two nights against George Mason and Boston College helped get West Virginia to the championship game. In this matchup of top point guards, Staten and Ryan Boatright each made 6 of 14 field goals, but Staten was nine of 12 from the free throw line and handed out three assists. WVU (5-0) never trailed and continued to use suffocating full-court pressure to increase their lead to 10, 32-22, with 6:20 left in the first half, and then to as many as 15 by the end of the first half. The Huskies scored the first five points of the second half and eventually reduced West Virginia’s lead to six, 50-44, on a Daniel Hamilton basket, but Gary Browne’s driving layup ended West Virginia’s scoring drought and WVU was able to keep its lead in the 8-to-10-point range for most of the second half – with several of West Virginia’s points down the stretch coming from Staten either on short jumpers or at the free throw line. Late in the game, with West Virginia running clock and enjoying an 11-point lead, Huggins had the floor spread with Staten isolated one-on-one against Boatright. With the shot clock winding down, Staten took off right past Boatright toward the basket, pulled up in the lane and lofted a soft jumper over the rim and into the basket to give the Mountaineers a 13-point lead. Holton contributed 12 points and five rebounds, and freshman guard Daxter Miles Jr. contributed 10 points on 4 of 6 shooting. Browne, playing in front of the hometown crowd, scored nine points off the bench and made a couple of big free throws late in the game. Boatright led the Huskies (3-1) with 17 points. Hamilton added 15 and Kentan Facey scored 10.

Notebook• The win over the 17th-ranked Huskies was West Virginia’s first win over a ranked non-conference opponent since beating eighth- ranked Purdue at the WVU Coliseum back on Jan. 16, 2011.• WVU improved to 8-1 all-time in Puerto Rico, while Bob Huggins improved to 11-1 all-time in Puerto Rico.
