West Virginia Mountaineers Win Big Twelve Title

0:00On March 8th, the West Virginia mountaineer's women's basketball team topped the TCU Hornfrogs 62-53 for their second big 12, conference tournament title ever. This marks the first championship in the Martkelau coaching era and stands as the program's biggest win-to-date. The mountaineer is clamped down defensively, holding TCU to a rough 8 out of 31 from beyond the arc. That was a big shift from their earlier matchups. TCU's top player, Olivia Miles, ran into foul trouble midway through the game, letting West Virginia build a double-digit lead late. Jordan Harrison stepped up huge, grabbing most outstanding player honors with 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Fresh off defensive player of the year, nods. The senior has anchored 3 straight 25 win seasons since joining from Stephen F. Austin. This run locks in a strong NCAA tournament spot, likely a foreseed that lets them host first and second round games in Morgantown for the first time.
