The West Virginia University women's basketball team forced 30 Baylor turnovers and rode Kierra Wheeler's sixth double-double to a 70-60 upset win over No. 14 Baylor on Saturday afternoon in front of a packed crowd inside Hope Coliseum.
Wheeler posted a 18-point, 15-rebound double-double and anchored a relentless defensive effort that helped the Mountaineers (18–5, 8–3 Big 12) secure their third win over a ranked opponent this season.
The Mountaineers are back on the road on Wednesday, Feb. 4, when they take on Colorado in Boulder. Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
