On Saturday night, the BYU basketball program hosted West Virginia in front of a sellout crowd. After an ugly first half in which BYU scored only 25 points, the

Fousseyni Traore scored 20 points and had 10 rebounds for his second double-double of the season off the bench, Egor Demin had 15 points and six rebounds and No. 25 BYU dominated West Virgina 77-56.

The Cougars ended the half on a 10-0 run spearheaded by Richie Saunders, who would not be denied. His persistence in attacking the basket wore down West Virginia's defense and helped open up the offense for BYU and give his team a 25-19 advantage at halftime.
