Defense key to consistency for West Virginia basketball

West Virginia shot 47-percent from the floor and had only 7 turnovers against BYU but again it was the defensive end that caused issues in the 73-69 loss to the Cougars. After holding the opposition to just 36-percent from the floor in the first half with 9 turnovers, the Cougars were at 56-percent in the second and only turned the ball over 3 times. “We just lost a lot of our discipline playing in front of us and they were playing downhill the whole second half and then we were in rotations which you can get in against that team because now it’s layups and kickout threes,” head coach Darian DeVries said.
