MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Feb. 10, 2023) – The West Virginia University women’s basketball team returns to Morgantown to play host to No. 21/19 Iowa State on Saturday, Feb. 11. Tipoff inside the WVU Coliseum is set for 6 p.m. ET.

Pink rally towels and wristbands will be given away to the first 500 fans in attendance, courtesy of the WVU Cancer Institute. Additionally, pink t-shirts will be available for a minimum $10 donation to the Cancer Institute, while supplies last.

The Mountaineers lead the Cyclones in the all-time series, 12-11, including 7-3 in games played in Morgantown. Iowa State claimed the two teams’ first meeting this season, notching a 70-50 victory in Ames on Jan. 4. West Virginia is looking for its first win over the Cylcones since Jan. 24, 2021.



Last time out, West Virginia fell to Oklahoma State, 76-65, in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on Feb. 7. Sophomore guard JJ Quinerly once again led the Mountaineers with 18 points, her 18th double-digit performance this season, as well as her 10th game as the squad’s leading scorer. Fifth-year senior guard Madisen Smith was just behind Quinerly with 16 points, while junior forward Kylee Blacksten grabbed four boards to lead WVU’s rebounding efforts.



As a team, WVU shot 43.5% (27-of-62) from the floor, including 29.2% (7-of-24) from 3-point range.



On the season, Quinerly paces West Virginia in scoring with 14.4 points per game. She is joined in double figures by Smith at 13.0 points per game.



West Virginia is second in the Big 12 Conference in scoring defense, as it is holding opponents to just 60.4 points per game this season. The Mountaineers lead the league in turnover margin (6.77) and steals per game (10.0).

Additionally, WVU is second in the league in turnovers forced per game (20.27) and turnovers per game (13.5).
 
I haven't seen the WVU women play all season. I hear they've been pretty good.
