Sloppy, early turnovers doomed the Mountaineers in both halves of their trip to Waco, Texas on Saturday. It seems like turnovers are the subject of ever post-game discussion with the this WVU team, the difference was this was against the number one team in the nation.
West Virginia committed 22 turnovers, most of which came in spurts and fed the Baylor offense.
WVU hung around the first eight minutes, trailing only 13-5 at the 12 minute mark. Baylor would go on a 19-9 run over the next nine minutes to stretch the lead to 19 points. To their credit the Mountaineers battled back and cut the lead to 11 at the half.
