BUFFALO, N.Y. — Snapping a three-year shooting slump in NCAA tournaments, Jevon Carter scored 24 and No. 4 seed West Virginia beat Notre Dame 83-71 for a berth in the Sweet 16.
West Virginia (28-8) received solid play from its backcourt, including 16 points by Daxter Miles and 12 from Tarik Phillip. But the point guard Carter was exceptional.
Hiss step-back 3 with 2:35 remaining made for a 75-66 lead and proved to be a dagger after the Irish defended the length of the shot-clock.
After being fouled with 28 seconds, Carter pounded a dribble and summoned the Mountaineers fans to rise up.
