I don't watch a ton of women's basketball. What do we know about West Virginia?

Roster

 

Statistics

 

Center is 6'4", the other two tall ones are freshmen. Looks like they play a lot of their bench, nine players with over 13 minutes per game, only one over 30 mpg. Only losses to Ohio State, Texas, and Baylor (twice). Only common opponent with us was Delaware State - we won by 16, they won by 62(!!)

Royals gets tough on the court

[Underpar]

I have been a regular at the men's home games for a few years. This year I attended the first women's home game and got hooked. I only missed 1game because of business reasons. They ladies are terrific athletes and they are exciting to watch. And, if I could be politically incorrect for a moment, Coach Abe and her assistants are nice to watch too.

It sucks that they are not going to stay with the ladies game on ESPN outside of Albany and WV. In NY they will have coverage of a bunch of games and switch from one to another and I won't be in a place where I can watch ESPN3. sucks.

Gish: Young women build character on court

 

Danes confident they can handle West Virginia

 

#12 BYU over NC State and #9 Arizona State over Vandy were the only upsets yesterday, tho #12 Fl. Gulf Coast and #10 Fordham had one-point losses.

 

At least the arena is all purple and gold today.

Need to work on free throw shooting. We missed a lot this game. Would have been neck in neck if we could make them. Good job to the women, nice fight against a great team!

[UAFAN]

Winable game. FTs & foul trouble killed us. SO PROUD of the ladies though! Great Season! Really enjoyed going to the games with my daughter, can't wait for next season.

 

Great coverage on ESPN, commentary wasn't all about WV. Can someone tell Wyland's side kick it's University AT Albany.

 

FWIW.........

#13 Army loses by 38 to #4 Maryland

#11 Marist loses by 22 to #6 Iowa
