 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - The new guys at West Virginia can now brag about doing the same thing last year's NCAA tournament team did — beating UCLA. Alex Ruoff scored 18 points and the Mountaineers made up for a lack of experience by taking a big lead and holding on for a 70-65 win over No. 2 UCLA on Saturday.
"We played with a chip on our shoulder," Ruoff said. "Everybody hit big shots. That shows what kind of guys we have. It's a dream come true to play here, at this school, and beat UCLA."
Only four current West Virginia players saw action against UCLA last year, with Frank Young the only returning starter. The result was the same.
