OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – West Virginia ambushed No. 19 Oklahoma with the Big 12 women tournament’s most explosive first half since 2008 en route to an 82-58 win Saturday night in the quarterfinal round.
“We came out ready to play,” said WVU coach Mike Carey. “I knew we were going to be ready to play. Our shootaround today earlier was probably the best shootaround we had all year. They were focused, a lot of energy. In fact I had to cut it down because they were going too hard, so we just cut things down.”
Tynice Martin finished with 21 points for the sixth-seeded Mountaineers (21-10), who jumped ahead 12-0 and led 48-24 by halftime.
