MANHATTAN, Kan. – The 19th-ranked West Virginia women’s basketball team earned its first win of the Big 12 season on Sunday afternoon, defeating Kansas State 74-63 at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan.
“First of all, give Kansas State credit,” WVU coach Mike Carey said. “They came back. They’ll play hard. (Kansas State coach) Jeff (Mittie) has them playing hard for 40 minutes, so it didn’t surprise me. We gave up one offensive rebound in the first half and, I think, six in the second half. We just weren’t moving and weren’t playing defense. So, I’m a little disappointed in our second half, but we were able to hang on and win.
