West Virginia overcame a lethargic start and dominated Stetson in the paint thanks to forwards Devin Williams and Elijah Macon in the Mountaineers' 103-62 victory Friday night in Morgantown, W. Va.
Williams produced 23 points and 10 rebounds for his third straight double-double, and Macon scored a career-high 18 points.
Guard Jaysean Paige pitched in 19 points and guard Daxter Miles Jr. added 13 for West Virginia (3-0), which sank only 5-of-21 from 3-point range but manhandled the Hatters inside.
Guard Leo Goodman's 14 points paced Stetson (0-3), which was outscored 60-22 in the lane, outrebounded 50-29 and held to 31-percent shooting.
A topsy-turvy first half found West Virginia trailing by eight before scoring 27 points in the final 6:54 to pull ahead 51-35. Virtually unstoppable around the basket, Williams 16 points and seven rebounds by halftime.
The foul-plagued Hatters put West Virginia in the bonus before the game's first media timeout and saw reserve forward Drew Romich foul out 4:58 before halftime.
