Women Upset #19 WVU in Morgantown

[gwydion]

Great job girls, beat West Virginia 72-71. I don't think they will want to see Oklahoma back there for a while. Sooner sweep today.

It's our day in Morgantown!!! Two one-point wins.

The OU women turned the ball over 5 times in the last 5:30 and didn't score a point at all in the final 2:22, but we held WVU scoreless for the first 8+ minutes of the 4th quarter, which proved to be the difference. T-Rob hit a couple of huge 3s in the 4th. Proud of this team.

Sure wish I could have watched it on TV. I was watching the score throughout the game, so I was really rooting for them towards the end. Way to go, girls!! Be safe flying home!!

Incredible! It just amazes me what this team has done. I have to admit it, there had to be some good coaching too, to pull of this win.

West Virginia went cold as cold can be in the final quarter, and didn't score until the very end which brought them within a possession of actually winning, but OU played some solid defense yesterday! TV had some key steals and TRob sunk a prayer three as the clock expired in one of our final possessions to keep us in the lead. It was definitely a nail biting, edge of your seat, kind of game to watch. I had actually turned it off after we were down by 13 in the third quarter, thinking we would get blown out like we did against them in Norman, but within a few minutes we had clawed our way back, it was fantastic! This was with six players Simpson barely played, if at all. I would like to see this momentum going forward, and have us pulling upset over Texas, who actually plays Baylor today at 4:00 p.m. on ESPN2.
