MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -- Pat Beilein scored 15 points and undefeated West Virginia rolled to a 77-48 victory over James Madison on Saturday.
Kevin Pittsnogle scored 13, and D'or Fischer and Joe Herber both added 11 for the Mountaineers (7-0).
James Madison (2-5) couldn't duplicate the winning ways of the school's football team, which a night earlier won its first Division I-AA championship.
The Dukes played without their scorer Daniel Freeman, who missed his third game after suffering a stress fracture on his right foot Dec. 4 against Hofstra.
The Dukes' other two top scorers, Ray Barbosa and Cavell Johnson, combined for only 16 points. This is the first time all season that Barbosa has scored less than ten.
David Cooper, who scored ten, was James Madison's only scorer in double figures.
James Madison failed to make a field goal over a 9:36 span in the first half, shooting only 39 percent from the field during the game.
West Virginia outscored the Dukes 23-6 during that span, putting the game out of reach.
