West Virginia 77, Morgan St. 50

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The way West Virginia was missing one shot after another, the thought actually crossed forward Kevin Jones' mind whether the Mountaineers would ever hit a basket. After missing their first 11 attempts, the second-seeded Mountaineers eventually found their range Friday -- and have Jones to thank for leading the way. The sophomore forward scored 13 of his game-high 17 points in the first half in helping West Virginia (28-6) roll to a 77-50 win over No. 15 seed Morgan State and avoid another Big East flameout in the first round of the NCAA tournament.--AP
