Fastbreaks, layups, and three\u2019s where the weapons of choice today for the number one team in the country.<\/p>\n<p>With the game close, Dameatric Scott dunked one home to give Bowie State a 16-14 lead but West Liberty countered with a 15-9 run and never looked back.<\/p>\n<p>At the half, the Hilltoppers led 66-41. Led by Chris Morrow and Alex Falk, West Liberty played the way they\u2019ve been playing all season: fast. They created 14 turnovers in the first half and capitalized by quick layups and three\u2019s. They shot a blistering 70 percent from three point range and 65.6 percent from the floor overall in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you shoot the ball that well, it solves any problems that might occur, and we didn\u2019t have many problems,\u201d West Liberty coach Jim Crutchfield said after the game.<\/p>\n<p>West Liberty started the second half the same way they finished the first. They started on a 12-5 run to push their lead to 78-46. CJ Hester had 7 of the team\u2019s first 12 points of the half and at the 13:20 mark of the second half, West Liberty were up by 30 points and shooting over 75 percent from the field.<\/p>\n<p>Hester said that the team continues to \u201cstress outworking the other team.\u201d It showed from the start of the second half on, especially for Hester.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the game was smooth sailing for the number 1 seed in the Atlantic Region, as they broke the 100 point mark just before the five minute mark in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we played 40 good minutes today,\u201d Crutchfield said about his team\u2019s overall success.<\/p>\n<p>Falk, played 32 minutes then headed to the bench, finished with 20 points on 6-10 shooting. Shawn Dyer added 20 points and 7 rebounds of his own and Morrow finished with 19 points on 6-7 shooting.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll take on the winner of the FSU\/ LC game in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> round at 7:30 at West Liberty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEST LIBERTY, WV &#8211; (1)\u00a0 West Liberty Hilltoppers had no problem disposing of Bowie State today in the 1st round of the NCAA Division 2 Men\u2019s Basketball Championship.
