NEWARK, N.J. -- West Virginia is getting to the rim easily on New Mexico State right now, and the Mountaineers have charged out to a 60-48 lead with six minutes remaining in the StubHub! Legends Classic consolation game.

Joe Alexander has come on strong for the Mountaineers in the last five minutes, knocking down a couple field goals to raise his tally to 12 points on the evening. The junior forward has also pulled down a team-high eight rebounds, and I'm sure Bob Huggins will be pleased with that effort.

Alex Ruoff has just stolen the ball with 4:36 and took it the other way before getting fouled by Jonathan Gibson, who has just committed his fourth foul.

It looks like West Virginia will be leaving Newark, N.J., with at least one win, as the Mountaineers are holding on to a 69-52 lead now.
