Head coach Nicki Collen and Baylor women’s basketball won their fifth straight game and stayed in a two-way tie for first place in the Big 12 after upsetting No. 18 West Virginia 75-65 Tuesday night at Foster Pavilion.
The 25th-ranked Bears (21-5, 11-2 Big 12) picked up their second ranked win of the year and led for the final 35 minutes of the game. They assisted on 19-of-26 made baskets and shot 50% from the floor as the starting lineup accounted for 70 points.
“The fact that we made 26 baskets is not a lot compared to what we’ve been making, but 19 of our 26 baskets were assisted,” Collen said.
