[QUOTE="Keenan Cummings, post: 132857335, member: 1041048"] --West Virginia head coach Darian DeVries said that it was a great start and the guys had tremendous focus. --He said most of his focus was in between the lines before the game but he definitely took it in that it was his first game here. --DeVries said they didn't have a good start in the secret scrimmage and was down 17-6 but responded well and he was excited about that. --DeVries said they give them two plays and they have a set or grouping of plays that they work on prior to the game based on the scout. --DeVries said at the first media timeout he had a lot of stuff to say with his team up 16-0. Games can swing quickly so for every game they're in he wants them to make sure they do the things that got them ahead in the first place. --It's hard when you have a big lead but it's about capturing the moments they were really good and maintaining that high level of urgency. --DeVries said Sencire Harris was tremendous and held Cam Woods to 3-16 from the floor.
