No. 15 W. Virginia 90, VMI 55

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Daxter Miles Jr. scored a season-high 20 points and West Virginia overcame an early lull to give coach Bob Huggins his 799th career win.

West Virginia (8-1) followed up a 53-point win over Western Carolina on Wednesday night with a lackluster first half to finish its final exams week.

Miles went 6 of 9 from the field, including 5 of 6 from 3-point range. He missed the first three games with an unspecified illness and was ejected for throwing an elbow in the first half of a close win over Virginia last Saturday. QJ Peterson scored 17 points for VMI (1-7), which was limited to three field goals over the final 12 minutes of the game.
