Darryl "Truck" Bryant scored a career-high 27 points and West Virginia's defense put the clamps on Miami for a 77-66 nonconference victory Saturday night.

For the Mountaineers (6-2), it was their second straight victory in about 48 hours after upsetting Kansas State in double overtime Thursday night. Miami (5-4) lost for the fourth time in its last five contests. The Hurricanes started the season 4-0.

Bryant, a senior, was 9 of 12 from the field and 5 of 7 from the 3-point line to eclipse his 24-point performance against the Wildcats.

Bryant was one of three Mountaineers in double figures. Deniz Kilicli totaled 18 points and Kevin Jones, the team's leading scorer, had 12.

Malcolm Grant scored 17 points to lead the Hurricanes and Kenny Kadji and Garrius Adams had 15 points apiece.
