The West Virginia Mountaineers opened Big 12 play against the Houston Cougars on Sunday, entering on a four-game win streak with a 10-2 overall record. After finishing fourth in the Big 12 this season and riding high on two consecutive wins against Power 5 opponents to end non-conference play, West Virginia was ready to make an impact to start their conference slate, and that is exactly what happened.
The WVU women ran away with the game from the first whistle, jumping out to 16-point lead at the end of the first quarter and never looking back as they wiped the court with the Cougars in a 101-46 victory.
