MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — This time No. 6 West Virginia built a second-half lead that was too big to fail, dominating Texas 86-51 on Saturday.
Along with 22 points and eight assists from Jevon Carter, the Mountaineers received a boost from sixth man Beetle Bolden, who overcame a first-half groin injury to score 19 points.
That paired nicely with the elevating effort of Sagaba Konate — who got the best of Longhorns center Mohamed Bamba — in the kind of start-to-finish performance missing from the previous two losses.
“This game helped us get back on track,” Carter said after scoring 15 second-half points.
