Devries praised the team’s efforts as WVU receives a key victory on the road over Cincinnati – West Virginia Football

It was a comprehensive effort for West Virginia on Sunday as they managed to defeat Cincinnati 63-50 to help to end the losing series of mountaineers.

“It feels much better,” said Western Virginia chief coach Darian Devris after the victory.

The climbers had reached the start of the launch in each of these three losses, something they managed to avoid on Sunday. WVU led an early 9-6 lead and after the game was tied to 11-11, the mountaineers led the rest of the road.

“I thought the boys really came out with a good focus. We had put great stress on starting this first half better,” Devris said.

This focus will become a production for Western Virginia, as they held Cincinnati up to 32 percent shooting and 5-to-16 out of three. The climbers also forced 14 turnover, leading up to 20 points for WVU.

“I thought we were really active,” Devis said.

Offensively, it was another strong performance from Javon Small, which led WVU with 19 points, but he also had nine assists of the season.

“He had a good night. He said he had played in the gym several times and had a few good nights for him. He had another huge game, continues to play really, really high level. And nine assists too, let’s not Forget this, ”Devris said.

Elsewhere in the insult, Joe Jesuf has scored 16 points on the perfect brand 6 for 6 of the pitch. He also reached this sign while playing only 15 minutes from the bench.

“He was great and really happy for him. Personally going through some things, and today I thought to go out and play the way he did it, we also needed it. We needed this spark and he certainly came out of Not only did this bench gave us not only 16 points, but just that elevator that needed so badly, “Devris said.

West Virginia raised her 14th victory for the season and her 5th victory with Quad 1. Devris said the road victories were difficult to achieve, and he hoped his team would continue this impulse on Wednesday night against TCU.

“It was a Quad 1 Road victory. That’s why you don’t look at the records in this league. It will be an opportunity every night, but it will also be a big challenge every night. You come to the road in a place like Cincinnati, this has really good indicators, this is a big profit for us.
