Mountaineers Maintain Rankings Following Big 12 Tournament Run
The West Virginia University women's basketball team remained No. 17 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 20 in USA Today's Coaches Poll.
As a two seed, the Mountaineers reached the Championship round of the Big 12 Conference tournament after defeating Kansas State and Oklahoma to set up a showdown with the top-seeded Baylor Lady Bears but fell short to one of, if not the best team in the country, 76- 50 in the finals.
