MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (AP) --- Miles Sadler scored 25 points, Joson Sanon added 18
off the bench, and West Virginia got past Stetson 91-53 on Friday night.

ever sign with West Virginia, was an efficient 11-for-16 from the field and
added six assists.
Finley Bizjack scored 13 points and Mouhamed Sylla had 11 to round out the
double-digit scorers for the Mountaineers.
As a team, the Mountaineers shot 50% from the field and 42 from beyond the arc,
and also converted on 16 of their 23 attempts from the charity stripe.
They won the rebound battle 46-32 and forced 13 turnovers to score 21 points
off turnovers.
West Virginia led 43-30 at the break, and held Stetson to just 23 points in the
second half to cruise to the win.
For the Hatters, Sean Morgan scored 15 points off the bench, but struggled on
5-for-13 shooting (5 for 12 from deep). Collin Kuhl added 12 points.
West Virginia has won three of four total meetings against Stetson since the
