West Virginia Handles North Carolina Central
Morgantown, WV – West Virginia captured its first winning streak of the season after dismantling the North Carolina Central Eagles (4-8) Tuesday night inside the WVU Coliseum 79-45.
West Virginia freshman Jonathan Powell led the Mountaineers (7-2) in scoring with 17 points and senior Joseph Yesufu put in 14 points as the pair of guards combined for eight three-pointers on the evening.
West Virginia sophomore forward Amani Hansberry buried a three from the right wing to begin the night. The Mountaineer offense was slowed with three early turnovers but held a 10-2 lead at the 14:15 mark of the first half.
Powell made just two three pointers (2-15) in his last four games but hit consecutive threes to give the Mountaineers a 10-point advantage near the midway point of the first half.
West Virginia was 8-13 from the field and held a 23-8 lead until North Carolina Central held the Mountaineers scoreless for five minutes and dwindled the lead to eight. Then, Yesufu buried three threes to propel a 13-3 WVU run for a 36-18 halftime lead.
West Virginia stretched its lead to 26 with an 11-3 run to open the second half with Powell hitting a three and freshman guard KJ Tenner was the fifth to make a three on the night for the 47-21 advantage with 16 minutes left in the game.
The Mountaineers maintained and steadily but off its 20-plus point advantage, building their largest lead of 36 in the final minutes of action. Senior guard Jake Auer buried three threes in the final two minutes of action as WVU took down the Eagles 79-45.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.

But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
