Seven players scored in double figures and West Virginia's pressing defense forced 30 turnovers during a 97-44 rout of Bethune-Cookman on Monday night.

Reserve guard Josue Salaam scored 12 points for Bethune-Cookman (2-0), but leading scorer Jordan Potts fouled after shooting 1-of-8 for six points, 13 below his season average. The Wildcats struggled to 25-percent shooting, starting the night 2-of-12 and closing the game on a 2-of-22 cold streak.
