Williams rewrites some personal history inside Civic Center

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Cognizant of past poor performances inside the Charleston Civic Center, Devin Williams wrestled for a ball in the lane went up for a new, emphatic memory.

The bulky forward threw down a two-handed dunk over several James Madison defenders and bounded away, yelling and flexing and looking temporarily possessed as West Virginia pulled away for a 86-73 victory on Monday night.

Williams laughed off the signature moment of his 19-point, 10-rebound game.

“James Madison was making their last push and we had to make our last stand, so I just got caught up in the game,” he said.
