Remi Dibo drained six 3-pointers en route to a career-high

went 13-of-22 beyond the arc. Eron Harris and Terry Henderson scored
16 points apiece as the Mountaineers cruised to their biggest margin
of victory in a conference game since joining the Big 12 prior to
last season.
Georges Niang led the way with 17 points but committed six turnovers
before fouling out for Iowa State (18-5, 6-5), which went 4-of-23
from behind the 3-point line. Dustin Hogue tallied 15 points and 10
rebounds while Melvin Ejim – coming off a Big 12-record 48-point,
18-rebound effort on Saturday against Texas Christian – finished
with six points and 12 boards.

Henderson got off to a hot start with eight of his team's first 13
points and sparked a 12-0 run with his third 3-pointer in the first
5½ minutes as West Virginia raced out to an 11-point edge. Niang
ended a scoreless spell of more than five minutes and scored 11 of
Iowa State's next 13 points to keep the Cyclones within 11 before
the Mountaineers used a 12-2 burst near the end of the half to take
a 52-33 lead into the break.

with 11:34 to go. Dibo's final 3-pointer with just under seven
minutes left stretched the margin to 32 points.
