The West Virginia University women's basketball team
exceeded expectations finishing tied for fourth in the Big East. WVU was picked
to finish ninth.
WVU advanced to the NCAA Tournament and won its first round
game against Texas. The Mountaineers have never advanced to the Sweet 16 and
that streak remains intact after WVU fell 72-55 to top seeded Stanford.
West Virginia wanted to play a physical game against
Stanford and tried to stick to that game plan. At times, WVU turned down wide
open three-pointers to instead try and work the ball in the paint and look to
get Stanford in foul trouble.
That led to multiple empty trips while Stanford cashed in on
its possessions. The Cardinal built its lead to ten points at 16-6. Christal
Caldwell's layup cut it to a four-point deficit at 16-12. Stanford owned the
remainder of the half outscoring WVU 22-9 over the remaining 11:21 in the half
to hold a 38-21 lead over the Mountaineers.
Stanford extended its lead to 20 points early in the second
half. West Virginia could never really make it a game again.
When Asya Bussie did get some touches in the paint, she was
rarely able to convert. Bussie shot just 4 of 13 from the field for 11 points.
West Virginia failed to make shots going just 29 percent
from the field and just 4 of 18 from behind the arc.
WVU finished the season with a 24-10 overall record. The
Mountaineers lose just one player on this roster to graduation and that is
Natalie Burton. Everyone else is expected to return and raise the bar even
higher next season.
