At Women’s March on Washington, West Virginians share goals, fears

BY CAITY COYNE EDITORINCHIEF On Saturday morning, a day after the inauguration of President Trump, the streets of Washington D.C. were flooded with more than 500,000 activists armed with “pussyhats,” posters and pins, looking to make their voices heard in the Women’s March on Washington.

In the crowd of thousands, several-hundred West Virginians joined to show their support of the platform of the Women’s

March, and prove that—despite November’s election results—not everyone in the Mountain State falls in line with Donald Trump’s beliefs.

“I just want to show that not everyone in the state of West Virginia was a Trump supporter. Not all of us are bigoted,” said Dan Jackson of Martinsburg. “This is happy, and peaceful. It might not do a lot, but it makes me feel better.”

Obviously, Jackson conceded, Trump will still hold office with or without the march, but he hopes that “just maybe” mem-

bers of congress will turn their attention to the matters, and that could make a difference.

While Trump’s rhetoric was the motivation for many marchers—as could be seen by the dozens of posters condemning some of his most controversial statements, like “grab her by the p*ssy”, “nasty woman” and more—West Virginians were also concerned with the impact of their local legislators.

“Our state government and politics do not reflect the politics, beliefs and values of all West Virginian

women,” said Abigail Miller, 29, of Morgantown.

Natalie Tennant, former WV secretary of state, attended the march with her 14-year-old daughter, Delaney Wells. While she knows some people are disappointed by election results, she said best way to enact change within the state government is to get out and vote.

“This march is great, and it fires people up, brings them together and inspires them,” Tennant said. “This is powerful, but that vote is worth more.”

Tennant hopes the mag-

nitude of the march will inspire people who may have not voted as a form of protest in 2016, to realize their potential and come out full force in 2018.

“If this is going to change somebody’s mind, maybe make them care, then it’s worth it,” she said.

While the Women’s March platform covers a multitude of topics— LGBTQ rights, civil rights, reproductive rights, ending violence, disability rights, worker’s rights, immigrant rights and environmental justice—a cornerstone of the demonstration, for all

of them, is empowerment.

And not just empowerment among the groups listed, but for the next generation of activists and voters who will be responsible for setting the tone of their world.

“I have an 11-year-old daughter, and I’m here to stand up for the importance of women’s rights, and her,” said Christina Opdahl of Fayetteville, WV. “I hope my daughter can see this and take away the importance of standing up for her rights, and that she is not afraid to speak up against power when it’s needed.”

WVU researcher finds impact of microorganisms on soil carbon storage

BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR A WVU researcher discovered the impact microorganisms have on soil carbon storage and environment-related issues, including global warming and climate change.

Ember Morrissey, assistant professor of environmental microbiology in the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design, received a $150,000 grant from National Science Foundation’s Division of Environmental Biology Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research program, known as EAGER. The grant will be used to expand our understanding of microorganisms in the soil that were not available

before.

“I think of microorganisms as biodiversity’s final frontier. Using DNA, we have detected a multitude of microorganisms in the environment that have never been isolated in the laboratory and so we are only beginning to learn about their ecology,” Morrissey said.

Morrissey’s research is fundamental to how microorganisms form carbon cycling which is significant to combating climate change.

Morrissey work continues the Davis College’s long tradition of researching key environmental issues, a tradition she is happy to take part in.

“My research program is providing new opportunities for students to participate in cutting edge research,” Mor-

rissey said. “I hope to show students that microorganisms shape ecosystems just as much as plants and animals, making environmental microbiology a diverse and exciting field of study.”

The Morrissey Lab consists of a team of two graduate students in the Applied and Environmental Microbiology Master’s Program, Rene Miller and Jeth Walkup and a laboratory technician Chansotheary Dang.

Walkup first started his research with Morrissey at the beginning of summer 2016, to create his master’s thesis project in the Environmental Microbiology Program.

“It’s been a good experience working in the lab and it helps that I really enjoy what we’re studying,”

Walkup said. “As far as the next step of experimentation, we’ve started a project about how different substrates are broken down or decomposed in different soils.”

Morrissey said the most challenging thing to go through in her discovery of microorganisms is understanding the vast density of microbial societies.

“I think the biggest challenge in my research is grappling with the great complexity of microbial communities. Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees so to speak, and it’s necessary to be creative in how you put the pieces together to see the bigger picture,” Morrissey said.

Morrissey is searching for one or two motivated grad-

SGA hopes to increase voter turnout, student involvement

BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR The focus of this Spring’s SGA election is turnout.

Last year’s turnout of “3.9 percent of approximately 30,000 students is almost nothing,” said Adila Fathallah, SGA elections chair.“ This isn’t a valid representation of us as students, and this is why SGA has such a negative connotation in so many minds.

My goal has been to get the student body informed.”

Fathallah said she hoped for a turnout of 8 to 12 percent of students in the upcoming election.

To increase turnout, SGA is marketing by sending out MIX blasts, advertising frequently and encouraging students to participate.

There is definitely a cor-

relation between the number of candidates on the ballot and voter turnout,” Fathallah said. “More students participating and running means more student networks being involved and wanting to vote for their preferred candidates.”

Already, Blake Humphrey and Shannon Smith announced their bid for WVU SGA presidency and vice presidency.

Humphrey, current SGA policy director; and Smith, current SGA senator, are the only students running as a team. Andrew Aluise, a strategic communications student, also announced his intention to run for SGA president late last semester.

Humphrey and Smith’s goal is to give students a platform to tell their

stories.

“I hope that would increase voter turnout, because students feel like the narrative being created around this election isn’t like the narrative that was created in the past,” Humphrey said. “That this really is their student government, this is their University and it’s their stories.”

Last year there was only one ticket bidding for SGA office.

“One ticket consists of 19 people, and those 19 people can only do so much and reach so many people,” said Julie Merow, current student body president.

With more people on the ballot, Fathallah hopes more students will be motivated to vote.

“This is our school,” Fathallah said. “West Vir-

ginia University is all of ours, and students must realize that there is an incredible correlation between SGA and how this University runs as a whole. SGA encompasses the power to integrate and pursue so many varied aspects of this school to make it inclusive, comfortable and inviting to every student.”

A pre-candidate meeting will be held Feb. 7.

Candidates running for president or vice president must receive 1,000 student signatures in order to be eligible to run, while senators need 500. Signature packets will be distributed Feb. 10 and are due on Feb. 24.

To get involved with the elections process, students can contact Adila Fathallah at adfathallah@mix. wvu.edu.

Bowlers bowl at the MountainLair Bowling alley on Saturday, Jan. 21.

Damages close lanes at Mountainlair bowling alley

BY ADRIANNE UPHOLD ASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR Recent damages to the Mountainlair bowling alley have left three lanes closed for repair until further notice.

Bryan Denis, the Supervisor of the Mountainlair Rec Center, said the mechanic from Pittsburgh will be able to come fix the damages to the lanes within the next two weeks. “(The bowling alley) was manufactured in the late 1960’s. The pin setters that make the machines run are all original. The lane surfaces were replaced about 15 years ago, we’re trying to do the best we can with limited resources,” Denis said.

With limited funding, The Games Area is self-sufficient and pays for repairs.

Because the alley was built

decades ago, the brand of machines is difficult to replace and sometimes take weeks to get fixed.

A cable on lane five snapped, while lane 13 and 14 have motor problems. The issues can be replaced within a few days, Denis said, the right parts just have to be ordered and replaced.

Since only three lanes are closed, Mark Wise, the assistant director of the Mountainlair Operations, hopes to see students still come out and enjoy the Mountainlair Rec Center.

“The bowling alley is there and available for all students,” Wise said. “We would like to see it utilized and students to come out on the weekends during Up All Night. It gives them a nice opportunity to enjoy some of the available activity that WVU offers.”

OPINION

MONDAY JANUARY 23, 2017

Divided by issues, united by democracy DA EDITORIAL In Washington D.C. this weekend we saw two different days with two very different groups, holding the same amount of passion.

Through watching the crowds and hearing the chants at the inauguration and the Women’s March, we learned it doesn’t matter where you stand on the political spectrum; passion runs deep. From talking with individuals, we learned the personal stakes they held in their respective causes.

One side isn’t right and the other wrong, both just want to accomplish different things they care deeply for, and they go about it in very different ways.

And these contrasting approaches create environments just as diverse as the individu-

als themselves.

On Friday, it seemed supporters at the inauguration were expressing their victory in the election; toting their win over the millions of critics who predicted everything wrong about Nov. 8. It was dreary and cold, and you could occasionally hear chants of “build that wall” and “USA,” among other “MAGA” sound bites, echoing through the crowded streets.

Supporters were aggressive and fierce, seeming ready for a fight when passing by protesters or spectators flashing anything left-leaning. After the inauguration, we watched a young man sit on bench near Constitution Avenue and yell “What, are you triggered?!” at a woman walking by wearing a “pussyhat” and an “I’m with her” t-shirt.

“We the people will make American greater! I count, you count, we count; I trust you, do you trust me?” reads a blindfolded demonstrator’s sign as he accepts hugs from Trump supporters walking by on inauguration day.

Throughout the day we overheard Trump supporters speaking hatefully about the press, and as we were crushed

between an unmoving herd of them, a metal fence and a cement barrier we felt it necessary for our safety to hide our

press credentials.

Even with all this, it was impossible to overlook the satisfaction and joy on the faces of those dubbing MAGA hats and Trump flags.

On Saturday, for the Women’s March, an almost-record breaking amount of people boarded metros, armed with posters and “pussyhats.” It was impossible to move, and yet the excitement and optimism was infectious. Groups were cheering to each other across escalators and levels in the metro stations, and this only intensified as we accessed the streets.

Marchers were banning together, with signs and shirts supporting themselves, not as focused on putting others down. While some were snappy, most held a personal element and they did not look

to demean others. They advocated for sensible science and calls to action.

People were gracious, and through the estimated crowd of more than one million, everyone seemed to adamantly support those next to them.

This is what democracy looks like.

These two groups, no matter their stances, are owed the right to speak up as they did.

There is not a pre-set mold for advocating for your beliefs; you are entitled to do so in your own way, as long as it does not hurt anyone else.

This is what a majority of these individuals did, and we should respect their actions and listen to what they are saying, no matter personal bias.

That is democracy.

“Fake news,” journalism’s red scare

BY BRANDON RIDGELY OPINION EDITOR When you hear the term “fake news,” do you think of Russian interference with our election, Buzzfeed, Fox, CNN or Breitbart News? This depends on who you’ve been listening to.

Simply put, there is no widely accepted definition of fake news.

It seems that no one can agree on what the term means, but this hasn’t stopped everyone, even our president,

from using it to brush off information.

It’s a label being attached to false information in social media, political bias in news, or simply news that someone might disagree with. This is an extremely dangerous trend for information.

Yes, these things need to be addressed in varying degrees.

But the danger of the term “fake news” is its widespread erosion of credibility.

The term “fake news” is becoming so devoid of informational value yet so negative in

connotation that it can soon (and perhaps currently) be used to censor information in order to control news and public opinion.

Sound familiar?

One of the last times the United States dealt with this type of uncontrolled negative labeling was during the second Red Scare.

Between 1947-1957, McCarthyism (literally defined as: “the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence”) took over. Suddenly

citizens were hauled in front of judges to question their communistic beliefs or sympathies.

Citizens who were labeled or deemed communists or sympathizers often were isolated by their friends and family in order to avoid the label coloring them. This was especially apparent in business, and even more apparent in the film industry (think the movie “Trumbo”).

We could see a Third Red Scare with the widespread use of labeling things as “fake news.”

There’s a lot of finger-pointing going on with the media and media-haters battling over who is truthful or not. The most recent examples involve CNN and Breitbart News.

In Donald Trump’s first press conference last week, he refused to answer a question from CNN News: “Your organization is terrible,” he said.

“No, I’m not going to give you a question. You are fake news.”

In relation to that exchange, Breitbart News Network used the headline, “Fake news outlet CNN’s top executive, Jeff

Zucker, is threatening the incoming president of the United States Donald J. Trump,” on Jan. 19.

While CNN may host opinionated political pundits, to say that CNN is “fake,” is a dangerous mischaracterization that lumps it together with objectively false sources.

Where does this leave us?

We are without a working definition of “fake news” and having to sort through an onslaught of news and finger-pointing, we don’t know that we can believe.

CULTURE 2nd annual WVU Maker’s Competition

BY ERIN DRUMMOND ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR Students are encouraged to challenge their minds as the second annual WVU Maker’s Competition approaches.

The event is a 3D printing competition hosted by the WVU Materials Advantage Chapter and the WVU Materials Research Society Student Chapter. Though the event is a month away (Feb. 24), those interested only have until 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13 to register.

“The club has a 3D printer, applicants can sign up with their designs and the club can print them in the facility,” Ozcan Ozmen, the president of the WVU Material Advantage club, said. “We have two different printers, so depending on their design

“The club has a 3D printer, applicants can sign up with their designs and the club can print them in the facility.”

-Ozcan Ozmen, WVU Material Advantage Club President we’ll decide which printer is used. Or applicants can print their own designs in other places.”

Participants can choose from four categories, including artistic, future tech and two mechanized options.

The artistic category encourages students to channel their creativity and design something from their own imagination, while future tech challenges participants to think ahead to the year 2500, and design something they’d expect to see.

Both will be judged by the popular vote.

The mechanized option,

however, has two sub-categories to choose from.

For Launch-a-ball, participants design a way to throw a one centimeter diameter 3D printed ball at least 3 feet. For the push-ablock option, designs submitted must push a 3x3x3 centimeter 3D printed block at least 3 feet in distance. This will be judged by the time taken to push the block.

All WVU students are eligible to register.

“In the future, we’re planning to bring in high schools in the WVU region,” Ozmen said.

After registering, Design submissions are due

WVU Game Developers Club works hard in two day Global Game Jam

BY JEFFREY SCOTT STAFF WRITER The idea of developing a video game in only two days seems impossible, considering that many programs take years before becoming available. Global Game Jam, however, puts that speculation to shame as participants complete their designs within just 48 hours.

Global Game Jam is the world’s largest game creation event. Teams gathered on Jan. 20 to watch a short video about the event, during which the theme for this year, “Waves,” was announced.

This is the second year the WVU Game Developers Club entered the “Global Game Jam.” “This is like our main event, our Super Bowl,”

said Club President Jordan Hallow. “Every month we try and participate in smaller game jams, but this is the main one, with over 686 sites around the globe.”

Two teams within the club branched off to work on separate ideas.

“My team is working on a game called Microwave Simulator,” said Gabrielle Dumire, a club member.

“The concept is basically

microwaving various objects and seeing what you come up with.”

The other team, however, had a different game idea in mind.

“Since the theme for the Game Jam was ‘Waves,’ we decided to turn that into a mechanic in our game,” said club member Ahmed Mian. “It’s a platformer, where you’re going to be running and jumping, but

“This is like our main event, our Super Bowl.”

- Jordan Hallow, WVU Game Developers Club President the idea is the player can create these waves in the ground, which can change the terrain.”

In addition to Game Jams and other similar events, the Game Developers Club has been

known for its work in the community.

“We work with Extra Life and the WVU’s Children’s Hospital,” said Hallow. “We did a 24 hour live gaming stream on Twitch that raised over $1,000.”

8 | INAUGURAL WEEKEND

MONDAY JANUARY 23, 2017

2017

Inauguration Weekend Whether in support, or protest, West Virginians were among both crowds in Washington, D.C. this weekend in response to the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

On both Friday (the inauguration) and Saturday (the Women’s March), hundreds of thousands of people walked the same streets advocating for nearly opposite things.

Of the inauguration crowd, nearly 300 West Virginians claimed tickets from Senator Shelley Moore Capito’s (R-WV) office, and only one person in the group had ever been to an inauguration before.

Those who attended expressed their hope for less environmental regulation on coal and more job growth in the state.

“Frankly, I know we’re all worried about President Trump. He does not have deep government experience, and so we’re all sort of

terrified,” said Dennis Moritz, a Trump supporter from Huntington, WV who attended the inauguration, “To be quite honest, I was one of 80 percent of Americans who didn’t really vote for anybody, we voted against something.”

No matter how far people came—from West Virginia to Cailfornia—all rallied around the “Make America Great Again” slogan. Only hours after red MAGA hats left the city, pink “pussyhats” flooded the National Mall and surrounding streets for the Women’s March on Washington.

Around 1,500 West Virginia women were expected to be among the 500,000 who were counted for in the Women’s March.

They rallied around women’s rights and focused on issues like LGBTQ rights, civil rights, reproductive rights, ending violence, disability rights, worker’s rights, immigrant rights and environmental justice.

At WVU she has been promoted to the digital media producer at u92, has traveled across the country to take travel and writing courses, and is the current president of the Society of Professional Journalists chapter. Just the one trip to Peru made her realize she wanted to work towards raising awareness for environmental protection. She’s always encouraging others to achieve their dreams and wants to show people that there are so many opportunities to do so, even within our university.

Coming from an extremely sports oriented household in Morgantown, WV sophomore Julia Mellett has always known exactly what she’s wanted to do. She’s an honors sophomore broadcast journalism and sports and exercise psychology double major. She recently founded a student chapter of the Association for Women in Sports Media at WVU and is also involved in the Reed College of Media Ambassador program. She was recently selected as the first women on The Break Room Show, a podcast/blog that acts as an outlet for sports media. She feels as though this will allow her to move in the right direction with her career goals. Although she had an injury in high school that made her unable to play college sports, she’s very happy with where she ended up.

She hopes to work for a major sports network hosting her own show that interviews athletes about aspects of sport psychology that usually gets glossed over by mainstream sports media.

Sophomore year she founded the American Association of University Women and has served president ever since.

Now she has been chosen by their national office as one of the ten students from across the country to serve on their 2016-2017 National Student Advisory Council. Sabrina Ridenour is a senior mechanical engineering major with a minor in vocal performance from Frostburg, Maryland.

She’s also involved in WVU Chamber Singers and Society of Women Engineers. She interned with General Motors this past summer as a manufacturing engineer in Arlington, Texas. For her capstone, she has entered a competition where the goal is to turn a stock 2016 Chevrolet Camaro into a hybrid electric vehicle. She hopes to continue her career in the automotive industry as she has accepted a full time position with General Motors as a design engineer with Global Propulsions Systems in Michigan.

Avoiding Pitfalls to Reach Your Potential One major pitfall to reaching your full potential is disorganization.

Disorganization is often deemed a moral failing, result of laziness, or character flaw, but perhaps it is simply genetics’ fault. M.D. Richard A. Friedman argues that messiness results from nature rather than nurture. The tendency to be disorganized shows up early in life and endures throughout; therefore he suggests that disorganized people are born rather than made.

Tips for Incorporating Organization into Your Everyday Life There are many different ways to increase the organization in your everyday life. It is recommended that you try the different organizational techniques mentioned below in order to have a greater control on tasks, events, appointments, and life overall.

1. Create the Right Kind of Storage 2. Understand Your Work Style

Looking at WVU’s struggles and how it responds

BY CHRIS JACKSON

15 games this season, also finding more success on the boards compared to the previous couple outings.

“Esa’s got to play harder,” Huggins said. “I thought we would have an advantage— other than maybe this game— with him because everybody plays guards. We could post him a little bit and he would really rebound the ball. He hasn’t rebounded the ball…He’s got to be more assertive.”

SPORTS EDITOR

MEN’S BASKETBALL Head coach Bob Huggins and the Mountaineers are in unfamiliar territory.

Just 13 days ago, they recorded a huge 21-point drubbing of then-No. 1 Baylor while celebrating with the students who stormed the court. They found their way to a No. 7 national ranking, sitting one game behind Kansas in the Big 12 standings.

Now, they’re three games back after losing consecutive contests last week against unranked opponents, amidst the first losing streak during the regular season since January 2016.

What specifically went wrong for one of the nation’s most tenacious teams?

Playing their own brand It sounds cliché, but WVU’s struggles playing its own style have proved costly during the previous two defeats. Predicated on relentless pressure defense, the Mountaineers lead the country in both turnovers and steals per game.

However, the WVU team that often wins the turnover battle over the past three years failed to do so last week. Instead, it forced 16 turnovers while committing 23 of its own Saturday at Kansas State, marking the most turnovers by a Mountaineer squad since 2010.

And just three days before that close loss at Kansas State, the defense faltered down the stretch in an 89-87 overtime loss against Oklahoma. The Sooners

“We threw it to the wrong people,” Huggins said. “We did it against Oklahoma. It’s carelessness. It’s hard to win that way, I know that.”

In both games, they watched two players run across the court for crucial scores. Saturday, they witnessed K-State guard Kamau Stokes burst across the court in five seconds, going past the entire WVU defense for a layup to end the first half and cut the deficit to 38-36.

Wednesday, Oklahoma guard Jordan Woodard did almost the same thing (except he

ran down the right side of the court and it was in the closing seconds of the contest). Woodard took the inbounds pass, bolted his way to the rim to convert the game-winning layup.

“Mental breakdowns at the end of the half,” said WVU senior guard Tarik Phillip.

Foul Trouble/Frontcourt Some of the defensive issues stemmed from foul trouble as big men Elijah Macon and Brandon Watkins fouled out Saturday, combining for a mere two points and three rebounds. Three other players reached four, including freshman Sagaba Konate, who tags alongside the tandem of Macon and Watkins in the frontcourt.

Top: WVU Guard Jevon Carter drives to the basket inbetween two Baylor defenders for a layup on Jan. 10, 2017.

Bottom: Forward Nathan Adrian dives for a lose ball against Baylor on Jan. 10, 2017.

This forced Huggins to revert to a 2-3 zone defense on a number of possessions, pulling back from the fullcourt, in-your-face pressure defense that is challenging to replicate for opposing teams in practice.

Adding to the foul trouble was the success Kansas State found down low against WVU, scoring 40 of its 79 points inside the paint.

“We just tried to play a little different,” Huggins said. “We were in such bad foul trouble, I was afraid everybody would foul out. I had three bigs with four fouls. I had to buy some time.”

Esa Ahmad’s recent slump One aspect that’s been miss-

ing from WVU’s offensive attack is sophomore forward Esa Ahmad. The former top 100 recruit was beginning to turn the corner, becoming more aggressive this year and making his presence known.

But over the last two weeks— not just in the two losses—Ahmad’s been less effective. He’s averaged just above five points per game during that span while also committing 11 turnovers.

It’s been a decline from the production Ahmad delivered earlier in the season, a time when the 6-foot-8 product was finding his way to the rim, making jump shots and rebounding at a higher rate. He scored in double-figures in 11 of the first

How will WVU respond?

Tuesday’s affair against No. 2 Kansas pits the biggest game of the year for WVU. It isn’t just playing against a top-two team, it’s also about getting back on track and returning to the win column.

Luckily, the Mountaineers hold a three-game winning streak over Kansas in Morgantown. But in order to extend that total, they need to find success in their unique and often revered defense (win the turnover battle), make better decisions and avoid the “breakdowns” that showcased themselves this past week.

If any team can respond, it’s WVU and Bob Huggins. Playing with their backs against the wall has been a strength in the past, and so has playing against topnotch competition.

“There’s a difference between being the hunter and the hunted,” Huggins said. “The old Proverb the dog with the bone is always in danger. We’re not very good on top. We’ve got to know that we have to scratch and claw. That’s kind of what we are.”

Kansas remains top dog in Big 12 Power Rankings

three trips.

SPORTS EDITOR West Virginia’s struggle continued, Kansas held its dominance at home and Oklahoma State finally found its way into the win column.

Here’s how the Big 12 stacks up after last week’s action: 1. Kansas (18-1, 7-0 Big 12) The Jayhawks won their 50th straight game at Allen Fieldhouse while also remaining undefeated in Big 12 play following a 79-67 win over Texas. They tallied 14 steals, led by four from highly touted freshman Josh Jackson. A trip to Morgantown awaits as they get set to face WVU, where they haven’t won in the previous

2.Baylor (18-1, 6-1 Big 12) Miami transfer Manu Lecomte scored 17 points while Johnathan Motley added 15 points and eight rebounds as Baylor recorded a 62-53 victory at TCU. It marked the team’s third straight win since a loss at WVU. 3. Kansas State (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) After losing three of four, head coach Bruce Webber’s squad responded with two straight wins, topped off with a 79-75 victory over No. 7 West Virginia. The Wildcats forced 23 turnovers while dominating near the rim, finishing the night with a 4026 scoring edge in the paint.

They will look to carry the momentum into Iowa State’s “Hilton Magic.”

4. West Virginia (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) Yes, WVU did defeat then-No. 1 Baylor by 21 points less than two weeks ago. However, the recent struggles since then have sent the team into its first losing streak of the season after Saturday’s 79-75 loss at Kansas State. The Mountaineers committed 23 turnovers while also dealing with foul trouble.

5.Iowa State (12-6, 4-3 Big 12) Iowa State came within inches of seeing its losing skid extend to three games before notching a thrilling

92-87 double-overtime win at Oklahoma. Deonte Burton led the way with 31 points while Monte Morris finished with 19 points and eight assists. A tough matchup is next on the schedule against Kansas State, who is coming off its biggest win of the season.

6.Texas Tech (14-5, 3-4 Big 12) The recent string of success at home came to an end with an 83-64 loss to Oklahoma State. Texas Tech was outrebounded 31-18 and struggled at the free throw line, posting a 68 percent mark at the charity stripe.

Despite the loss, the Red Raiders do hold impressive wins over WVU and Kansas State, two teams bound to sit

in the newest edition of the AP Top 25.

ing to Iowa State in double overtime.

7.TCU (14-5, 3-4 Big 12) TCU was unable to muster much offensively in the loss against Baylor, finishing the game with a 29 percent field goal percentage. Contests versus Oklahoma State and Auburn are next on the gauntlet this week.

9. Texas (7-12, 1-6 Big 12) Texas lost its fifth straight game following a 12-point defeat at Kansas. Freshman Jarrett Allen did flourish despite the end result, notching career-bests in points (22) and rebounds (19). A bout against Oklahoma looms in the Red River Rivalry, who is playing better as of late.

8.Oklahoma (8-10, 2-5 Big 12) Since getting senior guard Jordan Woodard back from injury, the Sooners offense has scored 80-plus points in three straight games, also recording their first two conference victories this season. However, they came just short of a third, fall-

10.Oklahoma State (11-8, 1-6 Big 12) First year head coach Brad Underwood finally secured his first Big 12 win in an 8364 rout at Texas Tech. Jeffrey Carroll scored a gamehigh 25 points and Phil Forte added 21 on 5-of-6 shooting.

WVU suffers close loss at No. 2 Baylor

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL The No. 24 WVU women’s basketball team gave No. 2 Baylor its toughest test in Big 12 play this season, but the Lady Bears managed to hold on and defeat the Mountaineers, 79-73.

The Mountaineers (15-5, 3-5 Big 12) put together a gutsy, admirable performance but were unable to overcome Baylor’s (19-1, 8-0 Big 12) superior size and depth.

The loss means the Mountaineers have lost five of their last seven games, while the Lady Bears have now won 17 straight since falling to UConn in November, keeping them tied for the lead atop the Big 12 standings with Texas.

“I thought both teams played hard and aggressive,” said head coach Mike Carey in a release. “I thought Baylor executed down the stretch better than we did. We got into a little bit of foul trouble deep inside.”

The Mountaineers got off to a quick start, jumping out to a 12-6 lead after the first three minutes. Each of WVU’s five starters had scored at least one bucket during the stretch.

But the Lady Bears immediately answered with a 13-0 run of their own to retake the lead, which they did not relinquish for the rest of the game.

WVU remained resilient and slowly crawled back to cut the deficit to one by the end of the first quarter, thanks to a deep 3-pointer by forward Teana

Muldrow as time expired.

Center Lanay Montgomery drew two fouls in the first quarter and was forced to sit for the entire second quarter. Her foul trouble gave the Lady Bears a big size advantage on the floor.

“They are so deep in the post and we’re not,” Carey said. “So, when we get into foul trouble in the post, it hurts us a lot more than it does them.”

Despite all this, the Mountaineers hung around as Baylor took a 40-34 lead into halftime.

In the first meeting, Baylor dominated WVU on the glass and in the paint. This time, the Mountaineers put up a fight, only being outrebounded 3842 and almost matched Baylor’s scoring in the paint at 42-44.

By the end of the third quarter, the fouls and minutes started to catch up to WVU as Baylor extended its lead to 63-52.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Mountaineers went on a 7-0 run to cut the deficit to four.

Guard Chania Ray hit a three with 15 seconds left to cut the deficit to six points, but it was too little, too late for the Mountaineers.

Muldrow finished with 20 points to lead all scorers while guard Tynice Martin finished with 18 points, just above her season average of 17.8.

“Give our players a lot of credit,” Carey said. “They played hard. Baylor played hard.”
