MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Kevin Jones scored 19 points and No. 8 West Virginia never trailed in dismantling Rutgers 86-52 on Wednesday night.
West Virginia (12-1, 3-0 Big East) bounced back from a 15-point loss and its lowest point total of the season at Purdue with its second-highest output and perhaps most complete game.
Da'Sean Butler and Darryl Bryant added 15 points apiece for West Virginia, which built a 17-point halftime lead and cruised from there.
Rutgers (9-5, 0-2) was held to its lowest point total of the season and lost its third straight game. Jonathan Mitchell led the Scarlet Knights with 17 points.
