West Virginia routs College of Charleston

Nov 30, 2014 - 8:37 AM Morgantown, WV (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonathan Holton had 21 points and 10 rebounds to guide No. 21 West Virginia to an 86-57 win over the College of Charleston.

Jaysean Paige had 15 points and Juwan Staten added 10 for the Mountaineers (7-0), who have won all but one of their games by double digits.

Evan Bailey and Donovan Gilmore each scored 13 points for the Cougars (2-4), who were coming off a one-point win at George Mason.

A jumper from Devin Williams three minutes in gave the Mountaineers a 5-4 lead, a lead which the team never gave up.

That bucket started a 7-0 run and the team had an 8-0 run a few minutes later with a 3-pointer from Nathan Adrian giving the team a 20-10 lead.

West Virginia built its lead as high as 13 in the first half before eventually taking a 38-29 advantage into the break.

The Mountaineers went on a 14-0 run in the second half, as the Cougars went eight minutes without a point.

Adrian's 3-pointer capped the burst to give the team a 52-31 lead 7 1/2 minutes in, and the Mountaineers cruised to the finish line.
