MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Jonathan Holton scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead ninth-ranked West Virginia to a 70-55 victory over Kansas State Tuesday night at the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown.
Neither team shot particularly well tonight, the winning Mountaineers hitting 42.6 percent of their field goal attempts while K-State connecting on just 35.1 percent from the floor, including one-of-18 from three.
The poor shooting also carried over to the free throw line where West Virginia missed 13 and Kansas State failed to convert on nine of its 23 attempts.
“We didn’t shoot it very well, they didn’t shoot it very well, we didn’t make free throws, they didn’t make free throws and we turned it over and they turned it over,” said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins.
