BUFFALO, NY – The 4th-seeded West Virginia Mountaineers became the first team to escape opening weekend thanks to an 83-71 win against Notre Dame, sending Bob Huggins’ squad into the Sweet 16. Despite Bonzie Colson’s 27 points, the Irish were unable to ever get out of West Virginia’s suffocating defense.
Scott Graham and Donny Marshall called the action on Westwood One Sports.
