The inside presence of Jeff Adrien and
Hasheem Thabeet was took much for No. 25 West Virginia to handle, as the pair
of Huskies combined for 30 points and 20 rebounds in fifth-ranked
Connecticut's 61-55 victory in a classic Big East tussle. Adrien posted 17
points, while Thabeet logged 13 points and 13 rebounds for UConn (13-1, 2-1
Big East), which has bounced back with back-to-back conference
victories after its lone loss to Georgetown last week. Stanley Robinson's 15
boards aided the Huskies' 52-33 edge on the glass, while Jerome Dyson and
Kemba Walker chipped in 11 and 10 points, respectively. De'Sean Butler
battled foul trouble for most of the contest but scored 13 points for West
Virginia (11-3, 1-1), which fell to 5-1 at home and had its five-game winning
streak stopped. Alex Ruoff was held to 4-of-16 shooting from the field for 13
points, while Darryl Bryant had 11 points in the loss.
