WVU women couldn’t overcome a rough first half.
By Andy Brown on Mar 10, 2008 in Big East, Reviews, Women BBall
West Virginia from the very start forgot how to play good basketball as the 7th seeded Louisville Cardinals jumped out to a 20-3 lead and never look back as they upset 3rd seeded and 18th ranked WVU Mountaineers by the score of 67-60. After the Cards had a 20 point halftime lead and where up as much as 22 the Eers tried all second half to mount a comeback. But fouls and the Cards offensive rebounding (16 in all) prevented the Eers from accomplishing that task as they could get no closer to five. Senior LaQuita Owens lead the Eers with 23 points while Louisville star Angel McCoughtry scored 24 points. The Cards will have the dubious task to upset top-seed UCONN in the Big East Tournament final tomorrow night while the Mountaineers will eagerly await to find out who they’ll play in the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday.
