Walk-on scores, big men record double-doubles in West Virginia win

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Propelled by a career-high two points from guard Spencer Macke, West Virginia cruised to an 83-57 over visiting Nicholls State at WVU Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.

Yes, the game was already several minutes out-of-hand by the time the freshman walk-on entered to play the final 1:38 against the Colonels.

But from the looks of it, no moment this season has meant so much to Macke’s West Virginia teammates.

Taz Sherman, the guy checking out of the game so Macke could check in, turned around and coaxed the WVU student section to get on its feet before heading to the bench.
