Recap West Virginia made a season-high 30 foul shots to defeat Marshall 87-76 in the 2008 Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic in Charleston. Fifty-four fouls and a shot-clock malfunction before the start of the second half tacked on an extra 45 minutes to the game. The two teams played the second half without a shot clock, requiring the Civic Center public address announcer to call out time intervals. After leading by 11 at halftime, West Virginia came out and hit three consecutive 3s to build a 43-23 lead. From there Marshall spent the rest of the game chasing the Mountaineers. Marshall’s two best inside players spent a good portion of the second half on the bench, Tyler Wilkerson with foul trouble and Markel Humphrey after losing his tooth when Wellington Smith’s elbow caught Humphrey in the mouth while following through on a jump shot. Freshman Truck Bryant recovered from a scoreless performance at Marquette by scoring a season-high 22 points to grab game MVP honors. Bryant was 3-of-3 from 3-point range and finished 11-of-15 from the free throw line. Da’Sean Butler contributed 17 points and seven rebounds and Alex Ruoff added 15 points and five assists. Devin Ebanks scored 12. West Virginia finished the game 26-of-49 from the floor for 53.1 percent. The Mountaineers were 30-of-42 from the free throw line and had a 35-30 advantage on the glass. Humphrey returned to the floor to score 13 points while Shaquille Johnson scored 15 for Marshall. Marshall recovered from a poor first-half shooting performance to shoot 46.5 percent for the game. Notebook • West Virginia’s 11-point victory was just the second time in the last 11 meetings the winning team has won by more than six points. • The Mountaineers are 14-4 against Marshall since the game was moved to Charleston on an annual basis.
