Halftime: WVU Can't Buy a Bucket

WASHINGTON -- The Mountaineers shot uncharacteristically poorly in the first half but trail by just five.

The normally sure-handed Alex Ruoff is 1-for-4 (0-for-2 from three) struggled and Darris Nichols 1-for-3 (0-2) wasn't any better. Joe Alexander carried the load with 11 points and five boards. As a team, they shot just 36 percent.

For Duke, which shot 40 percent, Paulus and Jon Scheyer led the way with eight points. Paulus did it with two threes and a two, while Scheyer did his damage on a layup and six free throws.

The Mountaineers are in this because they outrebounded Duke, 22-16.
