MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Until Big 12 Conference play opens Dec. 30, the most difficult task facing No. 15 West Virginia may be keeping its focus.Opening a five-game stretch against outmanned mid-majors, the Mountaineers (7-1) buried Western Carolina 90-37 on Wednesday night. Theres likely more carnage expected Saturday when they host another lightly regarded SoCon opponent in VMI (1-6).While the competition doesnt look stiff, the next three weeks will be developmentally important for a roster trying to get six freshmen oriented.Were trying to work on team things, stuff for ourselves, forward Elijah Macon said. Running plays right, guarding right, keeping people off the foul line.Esa Ahmad (12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds) leads a balanced assault along with versatile forward Nathan Adrian (11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists). The backcourt tandem of Jevon Carter (9.8 points, 3.4 steals) and Tarik Philip (8.3 points, 2.4 assists) is among the grittiest in Division I, and Daxter Miles (7.2 points, 2.0 assists) is still finding his legs after being sidelined for the first three games by a reported illness.Reserve guard Teyvon Myers (9.5 points) has made 63 percent of his 3-point attempts, finding the stroke that made him the nations junior college scoring champion two seasons ago. Deploying a 12-man rotation, West Virginia has topped the 100-point mark three times this season without a player scoring 20 points in a game.Just shows you how deep our team is, Ahmad said. Thats pretty amazing.While West Virginia ranks No. 6 nationally at 90.5 points per game, much of that scoring occurs via transition baskets created by its full-court press. Half-court offense has looked clunky as Bob Huggins sought to gain experience for first-year players.Weve got to score the ball, Macon said. There was a stretch toward the end of the (Western Carolina) game where we didnt score for like five minutes. Weve got to run our offense right. We cant have guys out there not knowing whats going on.VMI, which is paced by guards QJ Peterson (20.6 points, 7 rebounds) and Julian Elby (13.0 points), got its lone win came against Division III member Southern Virginia nearly a month ago. The string of five consecutive losses that followed culminated in an 86-68 setback to Gardner-Webb.They dominated us in points in the paint which was a variety of things -- post-ups, just driving down the lane -- and unfortunately, our defense wasnt tough enough, Keydets second-year coach Dan Earl said.We have to look in the mirror and be a tougher team. We have to figure that out. We showed some fight, but we had something like seven turnovers the first eight minutes of the game.VMIs sloppiness could portend huge trouble against West Virginia, which forces 26 turnovers per game, tops in the country. The Mountaineers also rank top-40 in field-goal defense, holding opponents to 38-percent shooting overall.Its hard for them just because we dont let people run offense, Huggins said. And I think everybody is to the point where they see other people turn it over and you dont want to turn it over. You want to take care of the ball, so the best thing to do is to throw it backwards, and its hard to run offense when you are constantly throwing the ball backwards.After VMI, the Mountaineers host UMKC, Redford and Northern Kentucky. They are building toward an end-of-the-month league opener against vastly improved Oklahoma State.Coming up Dec. 30, Macon said, were going to need everybody all-in.Stitched Giants Jerseys .

It means the reigning world champion has overturned a 43-point deficit since the pair collided at the Spanish Grand Prix.Despite the momentum being firmly on Hamiltons side with five wins from six races, Wolff thinks it is wrong to write off Rosbergs chances.When asked if it would be difficult for Rosberg to recover, Wolff replied: No, because at the beginning of the season he won so many points against Lewis, so it swings in both directions. And in that stage right now it is important to finish. It is about avoiding mistakes. DNFs very likely can cost you the championship. My gut feeling is thatt the championship is going to the very last race.ddddddddddddWhen pressed on why Hamilton seemed to excel in the heated moments, Wolff predicted the momentum will swing back in Rosbergs favour before too long.I dont think that you can see a pattern there. Weve had very open discussions with the two of them for four years now and the good thing about the two is that each of them concentrates on his own strengths. A couple of races go towards one then the tide turns.Just look back at the end of last season when Nico had a winning streak and carried the momentum into this season. When he was constantly outperforming Lewis everybody spoke about the new Nico. Now the tide has turned - but that has nothing to do with a change in performance. ' ' '
