WVU enters its first road game with momentum
The Mountaineers improved to 2-0 after beating the Rhode Island Rams and the George Washington Revolutionaries. WVU survived Rhode Island’s late-game rally before producing a more comfortable 78-66 victory over George Washington.
As expected, the game stayed close down the stretch, with WVU leading GW 72-65 with 2:48 left. But thanks to a defensive effort that did not give up a field goal in the last two minutes, and a key 3-pointer from Skylar Forbes, the home team produced a double-digit victory.
Forbes led a trio of double-digit scorers with 26 points, hitting 10 of 14 shots overall, including a 6-for-10 effort from beyond the arc. Zahirah Walton contributed 17 points, six boards, and five dimes. Meanwhile, Divine Tubma led the second unit with a solid 15-point, nine-rebound effort.
Georgia Tech is also off to a strong start
On the other side of this matchup, the Yellow Jackets have also won their first two games. Their latest outing was an impressive 84-58 over Samford.
Georgia Tech held a 10-point advantage at the break. However, the narrative changed after that, as a 43-28 second-half burst turned a competitive game into a rout.
Like WVU, the Yellow Jackets are formidable at the defensive end of the floor. In fact, they held Samford to 33 percent overall and a woeful 21 percent (5-for-24) from 3-point range.
