Charleston, WV (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonathan Holton scored 14 points, including 11 in the second half, to help No. 22 West Virginia sneak past rival Marshall 69-66 on Sunday. Holton scored eight of his points at the free throw line for the Mountaineers (9-1) while pulling down six rebounds. Jevon Carter also had 14 points and six boards. Juwan Staten led West Virginia with 15 points on 5-of-12 shooting. The Thundering Herd (3-6) lost their sixth straight game despite getting a game-high 18 points from Justin Edmonds, who shot 4-of-6 from 3-point range and added six assists and six rebounds. Marshall outshot West Virginia 50 percent to 38.6 percent, but the Herd lost the turnover battle 24-15 and allowed the Mountaineers to score 33 points off those miscues. These moral victories have to stop. We have to start putting Ws in the column and I think this team will grow to that, Marshall head coach Dan DAntoni said. The Herd held a persistent lead in the second half that ballooned to as much eight with 11:28 remaining, but the Mountaineers 8-0 run allowed them to tie the game at 49-49 with 8:27 left. With under six minutes to go, Gary Brownes five straight points gave the Mountaineers their first lead since early in the second half, and they never trailed the rest of the game. I might not be a great shooter, I might not be a great passer, I might not be a great whatever, but...I make winning plays, the senior Browne said. Since Ive been here freshman year, Ive been making big plays. West Virginia struggled making free throws, shooting just 64.7 percent from the line, but its defense prevented the Herd from retaking the lead. Although Marshall shot 10-of-18 in the second half, it only made two shots from the floor over the final 10 minutes of the game. The game between these in-state rivals started getting chippy at the under eight-minute media timeout of the first half. Staten and Marshalls Cheikh Sane each received technical fouls. After the technicals were called, the Mountaineers went cold from the field, only making two more shots before the half. The second one was key, though, as Carters jumper beat the buzzer to tie the game at 27-27 after the first 20 minutes. WVU shot 0-for-7 from long distance in the first half and was just 36.7 percent overall. Staten led the Mountaineers with eight points, and Edmonds paced all scorers with nine at the half.

High Point has been impressive in the early going this season with wins in six of its first eight contests, with its only two losses coming in tough road games against Richmond (80-56) and Clemson (62-59). The Panthers most recently edged out William & Mary at home on Saturday, 66-63. Ohio State fell flat at nationally-ranked Louisville on Dec. 2 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge (64-55) for its first loss of the season, but it bounced back with a 70-50 triumph over Colgate on Saturday to improve to 6-1. The Buckeyes are riding a 54-game winning streak at home against unranked non-conference opponents. This marks the first-ever meeting between the programs. The Panthers appeared down for the count early in the second half of their most recent contest facing a 15-point deficit, but they clawed their way back in it and took control with a 26-6 run. Although they shot a modest 42.3 percent from the field, including just 3-of-16 from 3-point range, they outscored W&M at the free-throw line, 19-7. Pacing all scorers was John Brown with 21 points to go with nine rebounds and five blocks. Brian Richardson and Devante Wallace chipped into the winning effort with 12 and 11 points, respectively. On the season, High Point is able to score slightly more points (72.6 ppg)) than it allows (69.dddddddddddd9 ppg) thanks to impressive percentages from the field (.475) and the free-throw line (.718). Brown has been outstanding with 19.6 ppg on greater than 56 percent efficiency from the floor while adding team highs in rebounding (5.6 rpg) and blocks (10). Richardson (11.1 ppg), Wallace (10.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg) and Lorenzo Cugini (9.6 ppg) have also been solid. The Buckeyes carried a double-digit advantage into intermission of their latest game and didnt break a sweat the rest of the way, as they outshot Colgate from the field, 46.6 percent to 33.3 percent, and won both the rebounding (39-31) and turnover (15-9) battles in the 20-point victory. DAngelo Russell was the catalyst with 19 points on 8-of-19 from the field, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range. Marc Loving scored 17 points, Kam Williams netted 11 off the bench and Amir Williams tallied eight points, eight rebounds and two blocks. Unsurprisingly, Ohio State has been outstanding on both ends of the court this season, shooting a lofty 51.7 percent from the field for 80.1 ppg while allowing just 57.1 ppg on 36.5 percent shooting, and it lives comfortably in the green with its rebounding (+5.3) and turnover (+6.1) margins. Russell pours in 18.0 ppg on 42.5 percent from beyond the arc while adding 5.3 rpg and nearly two steals per contest. Loving (12.9 ppg) is even more efficient from 3-point range (.560). Sam Thompson narrowly misses the double-digit scorers club with 9.9 ppg.
