MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Things were so comfortable for West Virginia on Sunday afternoon that even Tynice Martin was able to steal some rest.
Martin had played 234 of West Virginia’s 240 minutes since losing fellow guard Katrina Pardee to an ankle injury last month. This time she watched the final four minutes of a 71-50 win over Kansas.
“It was kind of lovely,” Martin said. “I don’t get that much rest. I don’t say I try to enjoy it, but I enjoy it. That is a great break.”
Martin still led all scorers with 22 points, going 6-for-13 from the field and 9-for-10 from the free-throw line.
