LENDING A HELPING HAND • •

The WVU women’s basketball team assisted with the flood recovery efforts that devastated the state in June 2016. As a group, the team donated supplies and other items needed. On July 15, 2016, the Mountaineers visited Rainelle, West Virginia, to assist with the efforts. The team helped ‘gut’ a home by removing anything that had been touched by the flood waters including the kitchen, bathroom, walls and flooring. On November 1, 2016, the Mountaineers played an exhibition game against Concord at Robert C. Byrd High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia. All of the proceeds from the contest will be given to those affected by the flooding in Rainelle.

Senior Lanay Montgomery’s recorded a historic performance of 17 points and 18 rebounds to pace the No. 22/25 ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team to a season-opening, 88-38, victory over Charleston Southern on Saturday. West Virginia (1-0) sprinted out to an 11-5 lead before Charleston Southern (0-1) cut the game to 11-9 midway through the first quarter. WVU utilized a 12-2 run and held CSU scoreless for a seven minute stretch that lasted late in the second quarter and the first three minutes of the third quarter. The Mountaineers are now 13-3 all-time in season openers under Mike Carey and 29-15 all-time. Montgomery was one of three WVU players to score 17 points in the contest and did something a Mountaineer had not accomplished in 25 years. The senior from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, connected a perfect 7-of-7 from the field and added 3-of-4 from the charity stripe in 21 minutes. Montgomery’s impressive 17 point and 18 rebound performance was the best for a WVU women’s basketball player since Donna Abbott posted 22 points and 19 rebounds against Rutgers on Feb. 28, 1991. The double-double marked the 10th in Montgomery’s career and she has now pulled down double-digit boards in back-to-back games. Overall, West Virginia connected on 50.8 percent (32of-63) from the field and 39.1 percent from behind the arc (9-of-23). The Mountaineers held CSU to just 17.7 percent (11-of-62) shooting, as the Buccaneers became the 17th opponent in WVU program history to only make 11 or less field goals. West Virginia outmanned Charleston Southern, 60-31, on the boards and outscored CSU 38-2 in the paint. WVU capitalized with 21 second chance points and 24 points off 16 Buccaneers turnovers. Junior Teana Muldrow scored 17 points, collected seven rebounds, dished out three assists and snatched a pair of steals. Tynice Martin also eclipsed double figures with 17 points, making 7-of-13 from the field and 3-of-7 from the 3-point line. Chania Ray distributed a career-high 11 assists – the most for a Mountaineer point guard since Linda Stepney recorded 12 against Saint Francis in Dec. 2014. Ray also registered four rebounds and two steals. A couple of other Mountaineers reach career highs: Anja Martin tallied a personal-best eight points and Desiree Rhodes corralled a new career-high in 12 boards. Kristina King, the Big 12 Conference Preseason Newcomer of the Year, scored eight points in her WVU debut.

Martin’s Career-High 27 Paces WVU Past Howard Sophomore Tynice Martin netted a career-high 27 points to lead the No. 21/25-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team to a 95-49 victory over Howard on Tuesday evening at the WVU Coliseum. Howard senior Te’Shya Heslip’s layup cut the WVU lead to 16-11 with 1:41 remaining in the first quarter. However, West Virginia answered with a 21-0 run that lasted six minutes into the second quarter. The Mountaineers (2-0) tallied 54 of their 95 points in the second half to cruise to their 26th consecutive victory against a nonconference opponent at the WVU Coliseum. Martin bested her previous career-high of 20 points and became the ninth WVU player to finish perfect from the free throw line with 10 or more points. The sophomore from Atlanta finished the evening 7-of-14 from the field, 3-of-9 from behind the arc and 10-of-10 from the free throw line. She grabbed four rebounds, collected three steals, dished out two assists and blocked two shots in 29 minutes. In addition to Martin, four other Mountaineers eclipsed double-figures. Junior Chania Ray netted a career-best 17 points, going 7-of-14 from the field, while dishing out five assists and snatching a career-high five steals. Alexis Brewer connected on a career-best three triples and finished 5-of-9 with 13 points. Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year Kristina King tallied 12 points and corralled six rebounds. Teana Muldrow finished with 11 points, eight rebounds four assists and three steals. Lanay Montgomery blocked a shot for a 26th straight game and registered her third consecutive double-figure rebounding game with a game-high 13 boards. The senior scored seven points, just three shy of a doubledouble. Overall, WVU shot 46.3 percent (31-of-67) from the field and 43.5 percent (10-of-23) from behind the arc. From the charity stripe, WVU knocked down 23-of29 free throw attempts for 79.3 percent. Howard was limited to 32.0 percent shooting (16-of-15) from the field and 3-of-15 (20.0 percent) from behind the arc. The Mountaineers won the rebound battle, 48-28 and outscored Howard 32-18 in the paint. WVU forced 27 Howard turnovers and converted those into 34 points.

Martin Nets Career-Best 28 in Return Home

Atlanta native Tynice Martin excelled in her return home to Georgia, scoring a career-high 28 points in the No. 19/23-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team’s, 80-64, win over North Carolina A&T on day one of the Savannah Invitational. West Virginia (4-0) came out on fire with a 22-2 run in the first quarter. The Aggies (1-3) outscored WVU, 24-13, in the third quarter to trim the Mountaineer lead to 13. However, a 9-1 West Virginia run in the fourth quarter helped the Mountaineers squash the North Carolina A&T comeback attempt. Martin made 9-of-15 from the field and finished with a career-best 28 points, while dishing out three assists and collecting two steals. She connected on 9-of-9 from the charity stripe, pushing her consecutive free throw streak to 28 makes since March 18, 2016. Teana Muldrow added 15 points and corralled a season-high nine rebounds. Chania Ray added nine points and dished out six assists in the victory. Katrina Pardee and Kristina King each added eight points. Center Lanay Montgomery, largely limited due to foul trouble, finished with seven rebounds, four points and three blocks. West Virginia shot 44.6 percent (25-of-56) from the field and 32.2 percent (19-of-59) from behind the three-point line. North Carolina A&T was the fifth straight Mountaineer opponent to shoot less than 40 percent, connecting on 19-of-59 for 32.2 percent. The Aggies made 6-of-13 from behind the arc for 46.2 percent. The Mountaineers sprinted out to a 22-2 and held a 28-8 advantage at the end of the first quarter. In a stretch halfway through the quarter, Martin made four consecutive free throws and hit two jumpers as Pardee netted a triple to push the Mountaineers lead to 20. The second half was much closer as the Aggies became the first WVU opponent to reach 20 points in a quarter this season. Montgomery and Muldrow were limited in the quarter with two fouls each. The Mountaineers led 52-28 at the break. WVU shot 51.5 percent (17-of-33) from the field compared to NC A&T’s 23.5 percent (8-of-34). It was a continuation of the second half for North Carolina A&T, as the Aggies jumped out on a 14-3 run to trim the game to 55-42 with 6:30 remaining. Dana Brown’s jumper with 49.5 seconds left in the quarter cut the Mountaineer advantage to 65-52. A 9-1 fourth quarter start extended the Mountaineer lead back to 21 points with 6:44 remaining. Montgomery and Ray made back-to-back layups followed by a Martin jumper. The exclamation point to the run was a Muldrow slicing layup that drew the and-one opportunity which she connected on to put WVU up 74-53.

WVU Downs High Point for 7-0 Start

Four Mountaineers eclipsed double-figures with Tynice Martin’s 21 points leading the way in the No. 19/23-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team’s 82-59 victory over High Point on Sunday at the WVU Coliseum. A high-scoring first quarter saw the Mountaineers hold a slight 28-22 edge. The team built its halftime advantage to 45-31. West Virginia led the entire game and stretched its lead to 25 points in the fourth quarter. WVU improved to 7-0, the program’s best start since the 2010-11 season, and extended its program-record nonconference win streak at the WVU Coliseum to 28. Martin made 10-of-20 from the field to finish with 21 points, four assists and four steals. The performance was Martin’s third 20-point game of the season and her ninth consecutive game in double-figure scoring. Lanay Montgomery had a standout performance, registering her second double-double this season and the 11th of her career, with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Montgomery blocked five shots, dished out three assists and snatched two steals in 31 minutes. Teana Muldrow also recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Overall, West Virginia made 33-of-66 from the field for 50 percent shooting and held its eighth consecutive opponent to less than 40 percent shooting as High Point shot at a 35.6 percent (21-of-59) clip. From three-point range, WVU connected on 5-of-17 for 29.4 percent compared to HPU’s 5-of-14 for 35.7 percent. The Mountaineers matched a season-high with 20 assists. Defensively, West Virginia netted a season-high 16 steals and blocked eight shots. The Mountaineers converted 24 High Point turnovers into 27 points. West Virginia opened the game to a 9-3 advantage, capitalizing on four early High Point miscues. The Panthers battled back to trim the game to an 11-9 WVU edge after a 6-2 spurt. A Kristina King layup pushed WVU’s lead to 23-10 with 2:11 remaining in the period. HPU closed the period on a 12-5 run to narrow the gap to 28-22. Ray’s three-pointer at 6:30 extended the Mountaineer lead to 14, capping a 9-1 WVU run to open the second quarter. Just a minute later, High Point narrowed the lead to 10 points. However, West Virginia maintained a 14-point cushion with a 45-31 halftime advantage. Martin and Muldrow combined for 12 of West Virginia’s first 14 points in the third quarter. A jumper by Martin with 5:53 remaining pushed the Mountaineer lead to 23. Katrina Pardee’s jumper gave WVU a 63-43 edge at the end of three. Pardee would finish with nine points.

Montgomery Moves WVU Past Morehead State

A stellar performance from senior center Lanay Montgomery propelled the No. 16/17-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team to a 94-53 victory over Morehead State on Wednesday at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia held an early eight-point advantage, but MSU’s Katelyn Byrd made a triple with 3:09 remaining in the first quarter to give Morehead State a 15-14 lead. Montgomery’s layup 35 seconds later sparked a 13-0 Mountaineer run. Later in the second quarter, WVU used a Montgomery layup and a Katrina Pardee three-pointer to jump start a 17-0 spurt. West Virginia (8-0) scored its second-most points of the season and rolled to a 29th consecutive win against nonconference competition at the WVU Coliseum. Morehead State’s two-game win streak was snapped, as the Eagles fell to 5-3 on the season. Montgomery’s historic performance included a careerhigh 23 points, matching a season-high 18 rebounds and blocking six shots in 25 minutes. She made 10-of-11 field goal attempts for 90.9 percent shooting from the field. The Pittsburgh native was just the second WVU player in history to score at least 20-plus points, grab at least 18-plus rebounds and block five or more shots. Only WVU Hall of Famer Georgeann Wells had a better performance against Marshall in 1984, scoring 35 points, pulling down 19 rebounds and blocking eight shots. The double-double was the third for Montgomery this year and the 12th of her career. Teana Muldrow also netted her third double-double this season with 18 points and 13 rebounds. The junior matched a career-high four assists, blocked three shots and collected three steals. Montgomery and Muldrow are the first WVU duo to tally double-doubles in back-to-back games since Liz Repella and Takisha Granberry accomplished the feat versus FIU and NJIT in November 2008. Tynice Martin reached double-figure scoring for a 10th consecutive game with 17 points. Also in double-figures, Kristina King posted 14 and grabbed seven rebounds. West Virginia shot 47.4 percent (36-of-76) from the field and 41.2 percent (7-of-17) from behind the arc. The Mountaineers held their ninth consecutive opponent to less than 40 percent shooting and their fourth opponent this season to less than 30 percent shooting, as Morehead State was limited to 29.4 percent (20-of-68) from the field. In the rebound column, WVU grabbed 59 boards compared to MSU’s 43. The Mountaineers blocked a seasonbest 15 shots, the most since deflecting 15 against Kansas State on Jan. 21, 2015. WVU also matched a season-high with 20 assists.

Bench Scoring Lifts WVU Past Ole Miss

The No. 16/17-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team used a season-high 34 points from its bench to knock off Ole Miss, 66-61, in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge on Sunday afternoon at the WVU Coliseum. An 8-2 run to start the third quarter gave Ole Miss (6-2) a lead for a minute and 21 seconds. However, West Virginia used two free throws from Alexis Brewer and layups from Tynice Martin and Kristina King to regain the lead, 34-30, with three minutes remaining. With 4:20 remaining in the game, the Rebels trimmed the contest to 54-52 after Erika Sisk made a layup and converted the and-one. However, WVU’s Brewer and Lanay Montgomery quickly responded with back-to-back buckets to extend the lead back to four. West Virginia (9-0) utilized a King layup and nine free throws in the final 1:13 to secure its 30th consecutive win over a nonconference opponent and 11th straight victory at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers are off to their best start since opening the year 16-0 in the 2010-11 season. King narrowly missed a double-double with a game-high 16 points, season-high nine rebounds and season-best four blocks in 28 minutes. Brewer finished with 12 points, seven of which came from the charity stripe. Martin reached double-figure scoring for an 11th consecutive game with 10 points. Montgomery and Teana Muldrow contributed with eight points and five rebounds each in limited minutes. Desiree Rhodes filled in the post with six points and five rebounds. The Mountaineers shot 53.5 percent (23-of-43) from the field in just 43 field goal attempts, the lowest since shooting 43 at Georgetown on Jan. 25, 2011. Ole Miss was limited to 32.2 percent (19-of-59) shooting from the field, marking the 10th consecutive game that West Virginia has held its opponents to shooting less than 40 percent. West Virginia shot well in the second quarter, but committed nine more turnovers for a total of 18 at the half. WVU converted on 6-of-13 attempts in the second quarter. Rhodes’ layup in the final seconds stretched the Mountaineer advantage to 26-20. Muldrow led WVU with eight points, while Ole Miss’ Torri Lewis had eight. The Rebels only made one two-point basket in the first half, which came with 1:38 remaining in the second stanza. Ole Miss opened the third quarter on a 10-2 run to tie the game with a Taylor Manuel layup at the 6:31 mark. Shandricka Sessom’s bucket with 5:26 left in the third quarter gave the Rebels their first lead of the game at 30-28. However, West Virginia responded with a 6-0 run including layups from King and Martin. After starting the game 2-of-10 from the charity stripe, WVU concluded the quarter with four consecutive free throw makes. Manuel would finish with a team-high 13 points for Mississippi. Despite Ole Miss’ Sisk scoring the layup and converting the and-one, WVU outscored Ole Miss 13-to-10 down the final stretch to secure the Big 12 Conference’s fourth victory in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.

West Virginia opened the contest on an 11-2 run and never trailed. The Mountaineers used a 21-0 scoring spurt in the third and fourth quarters to pick up their 31st consecutive win over a nonconference opponent at the WVU Coliseum. WVU’s 12th straight win at the Coliseum ranks seventh all-time, while the 10-game win streak is tied for the 10th longest in program history. Saturday’s win also tied the Mountaineers second-best start in program history, matching the 10-0 start in 2002-03. USC Upstate’s 33 points were the lowest for a Mountaineer opponent since Georgetown was limited to 32 in 2012. The Spartans fell to 4-6 on the season. Senior center Lanay Montgomery recorded her fourth double-double of the year with 16 points and 10 rebounds. She blocked four shots and made 8-of-9 from the field for an 88.9 shooting percentage. For a second consecutive game, Kristina King matched season-highs with 16 points and nine rebounds in 19 minutes. Teana Muldrow finished with 15 points, six rebounds and five assists. Additionally, Tynice Martin eclipsed doublefigures for a 12th consecutive game with 14 points. Chania Ray finished with nine points and led WVU with seven assists and four steals. Sophomore Katrina Pardee also tallied nine points in the contest. West Virginia limited its 11th consecutive opponent to less than 40 percent shooting as USC Upstate made just 14-of-59 for 23.7 percent. WVU dished out 24 assists and collected 14 steals in the victory. Pardee scored West Virginia’s first seven points as the Mountaineers opened the contest to an 11-2 lead. Montgomery also added eight points and blocked two shots in seven minutes in the opening quarter. Six of the first eight points were scored by the USC Upstate to start the second quarter. Montgomery, King and Pardee sparked a 10-3 Mountaineer run. West Virginia closed the half with a 42-19 lead and shot a season-best 63.3 percent from the field in the opening half. Muldrow made four of West Virginia’s first six points in the second half, all of which came from the charity stripe. The Mountaineers closed the third quarter on a 14-point run to extend the margin to 45 points. WVU added seven more consecutive points to stretch the lead to 79-26 with 7:40 remaining.

WVU Dishes Out 32 Assists in Win over Longwood The No. 14-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team tied a school-record 32 assists in a 10740 victory over Longwood on Saturday afternoon at the Charleston Civic Center. A 16-4 run and another 16-0 spurt in the first quarter set the tone for the Mountaineers. West Virginia shot 71.4 percent (25-of-35) in the first half. Although WVU (11-0) cooled down in the second half, the Mountaineers finished the game shooting 56.8 percent (42-of-74) from the field. WVU’s 32 assists on 42 field goals matched 32 assists dished out against Indiana State (Nov. 23, 1984) and Duquesne (Nov. 7, 1984). Longwood fell to 1-7 on the season. Tynice Martin led the Mountaineers with 21 points for her sixth career 20-point performance. Martin dished out a career-high seven assists and matched a season-high six rebounds. Lanay Montgomery made 9-of-9 from the field and finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. Junior guard Teana Muldrow also went a perfect 7-of-7 from the field to finishing the day with 17 points, while dishing out five assists and grabbing four rebounds. Alexis Brewer eclipsed double figures with a careerhigh 16 points in 28 minutes. Kristina King rounded out WVU’s double-digit scoring with 11 points, and sophomore Katrina Pardee led the team with a careerhigh 10 assists and zero turnovers in 21 minutes. Desiree Rhodes paced the team with nine rebounds. Saturday’s victory gave West Virginia its 11th straight win, tying for the seventh-longest win streak and second-best start to a season in program history. Longwood became the Mountaineers’ 12th consecutive opponent to shoot less than 40 percent from the field, knocking down just 23.5 percent (12-of-51). West Virginia won the rebound battle, 49-28, and outscored the Lancers, 40-12, in the paint. WVU converted 24 Longwood turnovers into 29 points. WVU’s 107-point performance was the most since tallying 109 against Delaware State on Dec. 18, 2013. West Virginia opened the game with four different Mountaineers making three-pointers to put WVU up 16-4 with 6:31 left in the first quarter. The team capped a 16-0 run in the first quarter and led 31-8, marking the 15th time this season WVU has limited its opponents to under double-figure scoring in a quarter.

Strong defensive play and a 32-point third quarter performance propelled the No. 12-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team to an 83-61 win over TCU on Thursday evening in the Big 12 Conference opener at the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena. WVU (13-0, 1-0) used a series of runs, including a 10-3 spurt in the first quarter to maintain the lead. In the third quarter, West Virginia outscored TCU, 32-20, to stretch its lead to as much as 36. The Horned Frogs (8-4, 0-1) committed 20 turnovers, resulting in 19 Mountaineer points. West Virginia’s 17 steals were the most in a Big 12 game for the Mountaineers since joining the league in 2012-13. Tynice Martin led West Virginia with 21 points, while matching a team high with six steals. Teana Muldrow followed with 19 points and nine rebounds. Guard Chania Ray matched a career-high with 17 points, dished out nine assists, grabbed six boards and collected career-best six steals. Kristina King reached double-digit scoring for a sixth consecutive game with 14 points. Lanay Montgomery led WVU with 11 rebounds, while corralling eight rebounds. West Virginia’s 13-0 start is the second-best in program history. WVU’s 13-game win streak is tied for fifth all-time. Offensively, West Virginia made 26-of-60 from the field for 43.3 percent shooting. WVU connected on 26-of-32 from the field for an 81.3 free throw percentage. The Mountaineers won the rebound battle, 42-32. For a 14th straight game, West Virginia held its opponent to less than 40 percent shooting. The Frogs made 37.7 percent (20-of-53) from the field and shot 47.1 percent (8-of17) from three-point range. TCU entered the game leading the country in three-point field goal percentage. WVU’s 10 blocks were the most since deflecting 15 against Morehead State on Nov. 30. West Virginia sprinted out to a 9-4 lead in the first five minutes of the game. Montgomery scored on a putback with 11 seconds remaining and Muldrow hit a jumper to cap a 10-3 run and give the Mountaineers a 19-7. TCU was limited to just one three-point make in the first quarter. The Frogs connected on three more, but WVU utilized an 8-0 run midway through the quarter to stretch its lead to as much as 23 points.

No. 17 Mountaineers Topple No. 20 Oklahoma

The No. 17/16-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team withstood a fourth quarter Oklahoma comeback attempt and prevailed 83-73 over the No. 20/24 Sooners on Sunday at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers (14-2, 2-2) led by 17, 42-25, at halftime. However, the Sooners (12-4, 3-1) outscored WVU, 21-13, in the third to trim the lead. With 8:32 remaining in regulation, OU trailed by five, 55-50, with the ball. Teana Muldrow collected a steal and scored a layup to draw the and-one. She followed up with another layup, thanks to a steal from Lanay Montgomery to push the Mountaineer advantage back to 10. West Virginia maintained an eight-point cushion from that point forward to collect its 43rd victory and first this season over an Associated Press Top 25 team. Five Mountaineers reached double-figures as Tynice Martin netted her first career double-double with 18 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. Lanay Montgomery tallied 16 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, blocked four shots and collected four steals in the victory, becoming just the fourth Mountaineer to record that stat line. Muldrow added 11 points and five rebounds in limited minutes due to foul trouble. Returning for action for the first time since Mount St. Mary’s on Dec. 21, Alexis Brewer made 6-of-10 from the field for 15 points. Katrina Pardee finished in doublefigures with 10 points. West Virginia shot 52.5 percent (32-of-61) from the field and held Oklahoma to 40.3 percent (27-of-67) shooting. The Mountaineers were 10-of-21 (47.6 percent) from three-point range. WVU won the rebound battle, 41-33, and dished out 20 assists. WVU won the battle of the paint, outscoring OU, 38-32. West Virginia pushed its lead to 10-6 with 3:50 left in the first quarter, but a Gioya Carter layup a minute later trimmed the game to one. WVU closed the quarter on a 7-1 run to take a 17-10 advantage. Oklahoma tied the game, 17-17, after scoring seven consecutive points including a Peyton Little threepointer. From there, WVU utilized a 22-6 run. The Sooners started the third quarter making 4-of-7 from the field. Little’s jumper with 1:11 remaining in the quarter trimmed the Mountaineer lead to 55-46. Oklahoma outscored West Virginia, 21-13, in the frame. Buckets from Vionise Pierre-Louis and T’ona Edwards trimmed the game to 55-50 with 8:53 left. However, Muldrow converted a steal into a layup along with the and-one opportunity to push the edge back to eight. WVU stretched the lead to as many as 15 late in the game before back-to-back treys from OU. Little led the Sooners with 17 points.

A valiant fourth quarter comeback effort fell short, as No. 18/19-ranked West Virginia fell, 75-66, to Texas Tech on Wednesday evening at the United Supermarkets Arena. WVU (14-3, 2-3) trailed by 14 at the end of the third quarter. The Mountaineers utilized a 21-4 run over six minutes in the fourth quarter, eventually tying the game at 3:02 with a Lanay Montgomery jumper. Ivonne CookTaylor hit a two to put TTU up 62-60. WVU responded with two free throws from Teana Muldrow to tie the game once again. However, Recee’ Caldwell responded with a three to give the Lady Raiders the goahead bucket. TTU (11-5, 3-2) scored eight consecutive points down the stretch to remain undefeated in Lubbock with a 10-0 record. Montgomery paced WVU with 18 points, while collecting seven rebounds. Tynice Martin finished with 17 points after finishing the first half scoreless and Katrina Pardee added 10 points.

WVU was scoreless for nearly four minutes, as Texas Tech capitalized with an 8-0 run. Muldrow’s layup with 24 seconds left in the half, trimmed the deficit to 29-25.

No. 22 West Virginia Falls at No. 12 Texas The No. 22-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team couldn’t overcome a 12-point fourth quarter run by No. 12 Texas, as the Mountaineers fell, 69-54, on Sunday afternoon in front of 4,123 fans at the Frank Erwin Center. There were four lead changes and West Virginia (16-6, 4-6) led by as many as four in the first quarter. WVU had trimmed the deficit to three, 48-45, at the end of the third quarter. However, UT (16-4, 10-0) used a 12-point spurt to push its lead to 15 points. The victory gave Texas its 14th consecutive victory and 10th in Big 12 play. Lanay Montgomery led the team with 11 points and five rebounds after making 4-of-5 from the field. Teana Muldrow also reached double-figures with 10 points in just 12 minutes because of foul trouble. Kristina King paced the team with seven points. WVU shot 39.1 percent (18-of-46) from the field compared to Texas’ 47.3 percent (26-of-55). The Longhorns won the rebound battle, 35-28, and outscored WVU inside the paint, 28-22. The Mountaineers dished out nine assists and collected seven steals, but UT converted 23 WVU turnovers into 22 points. Foul trouble hampered the Mountaineers in the opening half as Chania Ray, Montgomery and Muldrow were all limited most of the half due to two fouls each. Muldrow scored six of West Virginia’s first eight points, as the Mountaineers opened the first five minutes with an 8-4 advantage. Texas used its size inside to utilize a 10-2 run and took a 14-10 lead. Alexis Brewer’s trey as time expired at the end of the quarter snapped a three-minute drought and made it at the 14-13 contest. WVU used a Brewer layup and a Pardee trey to take an 18-14 lead at the 8:23 mark. UT’s Kelsey Lang scored a layup and made the and-one to push the Longhorn lead to six with two minutes left in the opening half. Desiree Rhodes’ layup trimmed the West Virginia deficit to 30-26 at the break. Muldrow’s basket early in the third cut the contest to within two. However a 6-0 Longhorn run pushed UT to a nine-point lead. The Mountaineers fought back with a 6-0 run and eventually closed the gap to 48-45 at the end of three. Brooke McCarty’s back-to-back three-pointers and two buckets from Joyner Holmes sparked a 12-0 fourth quarter run to give Texas a comfortable 15-point lead. McCarty finished with a team-leading 15 points for the Longhorns.

No. 22/23 West Virginia Falls to Iowa State

The No. 22/23 West Virginia University women’s basketball team suffered an 80-55 loss to Iowa State on Saturday afternoon at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers (16-7, 4-7 Big 12 Conference) suffered their first loss to the Cyclones (13-10, 4-8) in the last four games and fell to 7-3 all-time in the series. After the two teams traded the lead four times in the opening two minutes, ISU took a 7-5 lead and never looked back. Sophomore guard Katrina Pardee led the Mountaineers with 16 points, including a career-high-tying 12 from threepoint range, and added five rebounds. Sophomore guard Tynice Martin also reached double figures, with 13 points, all in the second half, and a team-high five assists. On the glass, senior center Lanay Montgomery and junior forward Teana Muldrow each had nine rebounds. The Mountaineers shot 29.7 percent (19-64) and 24.1 percent from three-point range (7-29). WVU’s bench outscored Iowa State’s, 9-7. The Mountaineers trailed early, as the Cyclones opened the game shooting 6-8 from the field to take a 14-8 lead. After a timeout on the floor, ISU extended the advantage to 16-8 before West Virginia chipped away at the deficit. A Muldrow jumper and a Brewer three made it a 16-13 game before Iowa State scored the final points of the quarter to take an 18-13 lead after 10 minutes of play. The WVU defense held Iowa State to 2-8 from the field and 0-3 from beyond the arc in the final 4:22 of the first quarter. Pardee opened the second quarter with a three, her third of the game, to cut the Iowa State lead to just two at 18-16. The Cyclones responded with a 12-3 run, holding the Mountaineers scoreless for nearly three minutes. A jumper by junior guard Chania Ray halted the scoring drought, and Brewer followed with a three to make it 32-24. Ray then converted on a four-point play, where she was fouled while making a three and made the ensuing free throw. With 1:27 left, the Cyclone lead had been cut to 32-28. The visitors responded with a 5-0 run to end the half, taking a 37-28 lead into the locker room. West Virginia was 10-33 from the field and 6-16 from 3-point range in the first half, while Iowa State was 16-31 and 5-15 from beyond the arc. ISU held a 14-6 advantage in points in the paint and a 9-2 edge in second-chance points. The Cyclones had 23 rebounds to the Mountaineers’ 16. Muldrow opened the scoring in the third quarter with a jumper, but the Cyclones answered with a three to make it a 10-point game, 40-30. Iowa State extended its advantage to 13, its largest of the game, at 46-33. Out of a WVU timeout, Martin hit a jumper, but ISU answered right back with a three. The Iowa State lead reached 17 at 54-37, the largest lead of the game, before a Martin jumper made it 54-39. Iowa State closed the quarter on a 6-2 run to take a 60-41 lead into the fourth quarter. A pair of free throws in the opening minute of the final quarter extended Iowa State’s lead to 21, at 62-41. Martin quickly answered with a jumper to cut the deficit to 19 points, but that was as close as the Mountaineers could get. Iowa State outscored West Virginia 20-14 in the final 10 minutes to seal the victory.

Mountaineers Fall to No. 19 Sooners in Double OT The West Virginia University women’s basketball team was unable to hold a 15-point lead and eventually fell, 90-87, in a double overtime loss to No. 19 Oklahoma on Tuesday, at the Lloyd Noble Center. The Mountaineers (16-8, 4-8) opened the game with a 9-0 run and held a 15-point lead midway through the third quarter. However, Oklahoma (19-6, 10-3) used a 23-11 fourth quarter period to take force of the game to overtime. Both teams traded 11 points in the first overtime, but eventually OU scored four consecutive points late in the second OT to take the victory. Overall, there were 11 ties and 15 lead changes in the contest. Sophomore Tynice Martin led the Mountaineers with a career-high 35 points, just one shy of tying the sophomore program record of 36 scored by Meg Bulger. Teana Muldrow contributed with her fifth double-double of the season with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Lanay Montgomery finished with 10 points and nine rebounds. Chania Ray and Muldrow each dished out five assists in the setback. Offensively, WVU shot just 36.6 percent (26-of-71) from the field compared to Oklahoma’s 44.8 percent (30-of-67). Both teams corralled 44 rebounds each. WVU’s 21 turnovers resulted in 29 Oklahoma points, while 17 OU miscues resulted in 17 points for the Mountaineers. West Virginia knocked down 11 three-pointers in the loss. West Virginia sprinted out to a nine-point lead in the first three and a half minutes, which included six points from Martin and buckets from Katrina Pardee and Montgomery. The Sooners were held scoreless for the first six minutes, but fought back to trim the game to 11-8. However, WVU used an 8-3 run to close the period and take a 19-11 advantage at the end of the period. Montgomery’s putback and Pardee’s two free throws stretched the Mountaineer lead to 12, 25-13, with 5:25 remaining. The Sooners cut the game to eight on a couple of occasions and trimmed the contest to 33-25 at halftime after a Gioya Carter jumper. Martin opened the third quarter with back-to-back three-pointers to push the WVU advantage to 39-25. Vionise Pierre-Louis’ two consecutive layups sparked a 6-2 Sooner run to trim the game to 10. WVU responded with a Ray three-pointer, while Martin made a jumper and converted the and-one to push the Mountaineer lead to 15 points. West Virginia held a 12-point lead, 56-44, at the end of three. Oklahoma used a 14-2 run in the fourth quarter and trim the West Virginia lead to 60-53 with 6:39 remaining. The Mountaineers made only one field goal in the fourth quarter and were outscored 23-11 as the game was tied 67-67 at the end of regulation. Both teams swapped buckets in the overtime period as the Mountaineers and Sooners swapped leads and finished tied at 78-78 at the end of the first OT. A Wyatt three-pointer and five Sooner free throw makes in the last minute sealed the Oklahoma win. Pierre-Louis led Oklahoma with 33 points and 13 rebounds.

The West Virginia University women’s basketball team knocked down a school-record 17 three-pointers in a 79-53 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday evening in front of 4,024 fans at the WVU Coliseum for the Play4Kay pink game. After one period of play, it remained a two-point margin as WVU held a 14-12 advantage. However, WVU responded with seven three-pointers in the second quarter and held a 39-24 halftime edge. The three-point hot streak continued in the second half, as WVU responded with eight more makes from behind the arc. The Mountaineers (17-8, 5-8) maintained a comfortable lead in the second half and never trailed the Cowgirls (13-11, 3-10). Coming off a 35-point performance at Oklahoma, sophomore Tynice Martin once again had a stellar game by scoring a game-high 30 points and grabbing eight rebounds in 35 minutes. The sophomore became the first Mountaineer since Meg Bulger in 2005 to score 30 or more points in back-to-back games. The Atlanta native knocked down a career-best 7-of-10 from three-point range, tying for the second-most three-pointers made by a West Virginia sophomore in a game. Teana Muldrow registered her sixth double-double of the season and second consecutive with 14 points and 13 rebounds. She also blocked two shots in 34 minutes. Katrina Pardee made 4-of-5 from three-point range and finished with 12 points. Offensively, WVU shot 46.0 percent (29-of-63) from the field and 58.6 percent (17-of-29) from behind the arc. Oklahoma State was limited to 37.3 percent shooting (19-of51) and 16.7 percent (2-of-12) from3-point range. WVU won the rebound battle, 37-32. A pair of Martin jumpers and a Muldrow three-pointer put the Mountaineers up 7-2 in the first three and a half minutes of Saturday’s contest. However, Oklahoma State fought back to trim the game to one, 7-6. The game remained close for the rest of the period, but a Brewer driving layup gave WVU a 14-12 edge at the end of the quarter. Strong perimeter play in the second quarter propelled the Mountaineers to a 39-24 halftime advantage. Seven of West Virginia’s nine field goals were from behind the arc, setting a new school quarter record. Pardee banked three treys, while Muldrow followed with two. Martin and Brewer also knocked down triples. WVU outscore OSU, 25-12, in the period. In the third quarter, WVU added three more treys in contest and Martin led WVU with nine points in the period. A Martin jumper and the connection on the and-one stretched WVU’s lead to 23. The Mountaineers added 21 points in the fourth quarter. Martin’s three-point make at the 3:08 mark tied the previous school record of 16 treys against Providence in 1998. Less than a minute later, Brewer broke the school record with her second three-pointer of the game.

The West Virginia University women’s basketball team staved off a Kansas State fourth quarter rally to knock off the 24th-ranked Wildcats, 66-59, on Wednesday evening at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers (18-8, 6-8) had built up a 19-point lead in the first half, but K-State (18-8, 8-6) slowly chipped away in the second half. The Wildcats trimmed the game to two points on two occasions in the fourth quarter, which included a Kaylee Page triple at the 4:34 mark to make it a 5250 contest. Teana Muldrow’s layup followed by a bucket from Kristina King sparked a nine-point Mountaineer run over the next two minutes to push the West Virginia lead back to 11. KSU could only trim the game to seven in the final 2:22, giving West Virginia its second top 25 win of the season. Earlier on Jan. 8, WVU picked up an 83-73 victory over No. 20/24 Oklahoma. The Mountaineers have won at least two games over ranked opponents in the last eight years and in 11 of the last 12 seasons. Junior guard Chania Ray registered her first career doubledouble with 14 points and dishing out a game-high 10 assists. Katrina Pardee again had a strong performance from the perimeter, banking four three-pointers and finishing with 14 points. Despite being limited due to foul trouble, Lanay Montgomery etched her ninth double-double of the season and 18th of her career with 12 points and 12 rebounds. The Pittsburgh native made 6-of-8 from the field for a 75 shooting percentage. Muldrow also eclipsed double-figures with 10 points, while grabbing six rebounds. The junior is just 16 points away from becoming the 33rd Mountaineer to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Offensively, West Virginia shot 45.5 percent (25-of-55) from the field and made 36.4 percent (8-of-22) from behind the arc. Kansas State was limited to 41.1 percent (23-of56) from the field, but shot 36.4 percent (8-of-22) from three-point range. WVU won the rebound battle, 38-29, and outscored the Wildcats, 28-22, in the paint. The Mountaineers dished out 20 assists, collected 10 steals and blocked three shots. It remained a near-even game in the first five minutes of Wednesday’s contest. A Breanna Lewis layup, along with the and-one, put the Wildcats up 10-8 with 5:31 remaining. The Mountaineers fought back with a 15-2 run which started with a Muldrow layup, a Ray three-pointer and a Montgomery bucket to give WVU a 15-10 edge. The Mountaineers led 2312 at the end on of the opening period. The Mountaineers added seven more points for a 22-2 run and pushed their lead to 19 after Pardee made a layup at the 5:20 mark. KSU used a 9-3 spurt of its own to close the half and trim West Virginia’s advantage to 39-25. Pardee led all scorers with 14 points, while Montgomery had 10 rebounds in the first half.

West Virginia Drops Contest at Iowa State

A 13-point Iowa State run in the third quarter hampered the West Virginia University women’s basketball team in a 68-53 loss to the Cyclones at the Hilton Coliseum on Saturday afternoon. Iowa State (15-11, 6-9) closed out the first quarter with a 17-7 lead. However, West Virginia (18-9, 6-9) fought back and took a brief 26-25 lead with two minutes remaining in the first half. ISU used a four-point spurt to lead, 29-26, at the break. In the third quarter, the Mountaineers trimmed the game to 29-28, but Iowa State used a 13-point run to stretch its lead to double-figures. In the fourth quarter, WVU trimmed the game to 10, but a 9-3 run to open the period pushed the Cyclone lead to 18 points. Lanay Montgomery paced West Virginia with 15 points and 10 rebounds, while blocking three shots. The doubledouble was Montgomery’s 10th of the season. The senior center became the first Mountaineer since Maria Tchobanova in 1999 to record 19 or more double-doubles in her career. Teana Muldrow tallied 11 points, just five shy of 1,000 career points, and grabbed nine rebounds in 33 minutes. Tynice Martin scored 15 points followed by seven from Alexis Brewer. Chania Ray led the way with a team-leading seven assists and grabbed six rebounds. Offensively, WVU was limited to 31.7 percent shooting (19-of-60) from the field compared to Iowa State’s 38.5 percent (25-of-65). The Mountaineers made just 3-of-17 (17.6 percent) from behind the arc, while Iowa State connected on 7-of-21 (33.3%). ISU scored 22 points off 16 WVU turnovers and won the rebound battle, 44-38. Ray opened the contest with a three-pointer, but Iowa State responded with six consecutive points to take a 6-3 edge in the first five minutes. The Cyclones closed the final period on an 11-4 run to take a 17-7 lead at the end of one. West Virginia used a five-point turnaround thanks to a Muldrow bucket plus and-one and a Martin fast break score trim the game to 21-17 with 5:13 left in the half. WVU capped a 9-2 run and tied the game, 21-21, with 3:14 left. WVU took a brief 26-25 lead after a Brewer three. However, the Cyclones closed the half on a four-point run to hold a 29-26 advantage. The Mountaineers shot 34.5 percent (10-of-29) from the filed compared to ISU’s 36.1 percent (13-of-36). A Muldrow layup trimmed the contest to one, 29-28. However, Iowa State responded with Bridget Carleton and Jadda Buckley three-pointers coupled with a Seanna Johnson layup that began the front-end of a 13-0 Cyclone run. WVU trimmed the ISU 14-point lead to 10, but the Cyclones maintained a 48-36 edge at the end of three. The fourth quarter started off slowly for West Virginia, as the Mountaineers started 0-of-8 from the field and ISU used a 9-3 run to push its lead to 57-39 with 5:42 remaining.

In the fourth quarter, six points from KU’s Jayde Christopher and Chayla Cheadle trimmed the Mountaineer lead to 22. KU would outscored WVU by five in the stanza.

Explosive Mountaineers Advance to Big 12 Semis

The West Virginia University women’s basketball used an explosive 48-point first half en route to an 82-58 win over No. 19-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday evening in the quarterfinal round of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championships held at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The sixth-seeded Mountaineers (21-10) sprinted out to a 12-point lead in the first four minutes. No. 3-seed Oklahoma (22-9) trimmed the lead to eight twice in the first quarter, but WVU responded each time with jumpers from Teana Muldrow and Tynice Martin. WVU would go on to score 48 points in the opening half, the most in a Big 12 Tournament game since Texas tallied 52 in 2008. West Virginia held as much as a 37-point lead late in the third quarter. OU outscored WVU, 25-12, in the final quarter, as the Mountaineers picked up their third win this season over an Associated Press Top 25 team. Martin poured in a game-high 21 points, connecting on seven field goals which included four triples. Muldrow followed with 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds, dished out three assists, blocked three shots and collected two steals. The East Orange, New Jersey, native made 8-of-11 from the field for 72.3 percent shooting. Katrina Pardee knocked down 5-of-8 (62.5 percent) from the field to finish with 13 points. Lanay Montgomery also reached double-figure scoring with 12 points and seven rebounds. Chania Ray distributed 10 assists and scored six points in 37 minutes. Offensively, West Virginia shot 55.9 percent (33-of-59) from the field and 45.0 percent (9-of-20) from three-point range. WVU dished out 20 assists, collected 11 steals and blocked eight shots. The Mountaineers opened up with a 12-0 lead in the first four minutes of the game. Montgomery and Pardee combined for all 12 points as WVU made five of their first eight buckets. WVU would score 26 points in the quarter and hold a 26-10 lead after shooting 61.1 percent (11-of-18) in the first quarter. Martin and Montgomery continued the Mountaineers’ offensive spark as Martin drained two triples and Montgomery made two buckets to extend WVU’s lead to 3613 with 7:20 remaining. The Mountaineers closed the second quarter with 12 more points to hold a 48-24 advantage. West Virginia continued its shooting barrage, knocking down 56.3 percent (9-of-16) from the field and extending its lead to as many as 37 late in the third quarter and finished the period with a 70-33 lead. OU opened the fourth quarter with back-to-back buckets from Maddie Manning and Peyton Little to trim the game to 32. Manning would pace OU with 14 points.

WVU Topples Texas, Advances to Big 12 Title Game

Relentless effort and a 29-point performance from sophomore Tynice Martin propelled the sixth-seeded West Virginia University women’s basketball team to a 62-59 upset victory over No. 2-seed Texas to advance to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship final on Monday. There were a total of nine lead changes and three ties in Sunday evening’s semifinal contest at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Texas (23-8) built an early 10-point lead in the first four minutes of the game, but the Mountaineers (22-10) charged back in the second quarter outscoring UT, 17-5, and taking a halftime 31-26 lead. An Audrey-Ann Caron-Goudreau jumper at the 5:21 mark of the third quarter gave the Longhorns a lead they would hold for majority of the period and the first four minutes of the fourth quarter. Martin’s jumper at the 4:45 mark gave West Virginia a 5251 advantage and would prove to be the game winner. WVU’s biggest lead of four points in the final four-plus minutes was short-lived as UT kept it a two-point contest and trimmed it to one on two occasions. Martin hit a pair of free throws with 14 seconds remaining to put the Mountaineers up four. However, Texas quickly responded as Big 12 Player of the Year Brooke McCarty banked a three-pointer to make it a 60-59 contest with 10 seconds left. WVU avoided a near turnover and Chania Ray converted the final two free throws to give WVU a 62-59 lead. McCarty again threw up a three-point attempt, which bounced away and into the hands of Teana Muldrow to end the contest. The Mountaineers will play No. 2-ranked and Big 12 regular-season champion Baylor in a 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT contest on Monday evening. West Virginia makes its second Big 12 Championship title game appearance, with the other coming in 2014, and its fifth overall conference tournament title game appearance. WVU has now made four of its five title game appearances under coach Carey (2006, 2010, 2014 and 2017). Martin registered her second 20-point performance with a WVU Big 12 Tournament record of 29 points. The All-Big 12 First Team performer made 10-of-21 from the field (47.6 percent) and 4-of-10 from three-point range (40 percent). Muldrow scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds after missing majority of the first half due to foul trouble. Katrina Pardee connected on 4-of-5 from the field and a perfect 3-of-3 beyond the arc for 13 points. Chania Ray also reached double-figures with 10 points. Lanay Montgomery was stout defensively with six rebounds and five blocks in 36 minutes. Statistically, WVU shot just 35.6 percent (21-of-59) from the field and was outscored 26-12 inside the paint. The Mountaineers knocked down nine triples for 42.9 percent shooting and 11-of-12 (91.7 percent) from the charity stripe. The Mountaineers dished out 12 assists, blocked six shots and collected six steals.

Magical Mountaineers Claim Big 12 Title

The sixth-seeded West Virginia University women’s basketball team overcame improbable odds in a three-day span en route to defeating top-seeded and No. 2 nationallyranked Baylor 77-66 to hoist the program’s first ever Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship trophy Monday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Monday’s win marked the second conference tournament title in school history and the first since winning the 1989 Atlantic 10 Tournament. Sophomore guard Tynice Martin poured in 32 points en route to being name the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. West Virginia (23-10) sprinted out to a 22-14 lead after one quarter, but the No. 2 ranked Lady Bears (30-3) quickly trimmed the game to three with a Nina Davis jumper with 4:45 left in the second quarter. WVU then used a 10-2 run and pushed its lead to 13 before BU cut the game to nine, 39-30, at intermission. BU’s Kristy Wallace made the layup with 8:53 in the third to trim the game to 41-34. Martin, a sophomore All-America candidate, banked a three-pointer on the next possession, setting up a 12-4 Mountaineer run to push the WVU lead to 15. WVU led by 21 at the end of three, but Baylor proceeded to fight back and trim the game to seven with 2:19 remaining. Though tired, the determined Mountaineers made eight free throws down the stretch to clinch the program’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. West Virginia will make its 12th NCAA Tournament appearance and the 10th under 16th-year head coach Mike Carey. Over the three-day weekend, WVU defeated No. 3-seed/ No. 19-ranked Oklahoma (82-58), No. 2-seed Texas/No. 12/14 Texas (62-59), and top-seeded/No. 2-ranked Baylor on Monday night. The win snapped Baylor’s 20-game win streak in Big 12 Championship games, while WVU joined the 2004 Oklahoma team as the only six seeds to win the Big 12 Championship title. Martin finished with a game-high and Big 12 Tournament title game record 32 points, which included 12-of-15 from the free throw line. Martin banked eight field goals and four triples and dished out four assists, as she was tabbed the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship’s Most Outstanding Player.

WVU Women’s Basketball News Clips As of March 13, 2017


Carey hopeful changes to workouts will help the ACL situation Bob Hertzel/The Exponent Telegram – Oct. 5, 2016 MORGANTOWN — You may feel as if you have read this story about West Virginia’s women’s basketball program before as it opens its practice season. Like last year. Or the year before. Or before that ... or before that ... or before that. See, it’s a song Coach Mike Carey sings every year, a sad song. “This is my 16th year. It gets old. I can’t remember a season we went in with a full squad. It’s frustrating. It really is,” Carey said. Let’s put it this way. ACL’s are so frequent this year he mentioned them more often than he mentioned any of his players during his 20 minutes of Q and As. In truth, ACL is an acronym for Anterior Cruciate Ligament, which is found in one’s knee. To Carey its a word unto itself. A curse word, if you will, and we mean that in all senses of the word, a dirty word and a black magical word of having a curse upon his team. Bad enough he has to replace a 2,001-point scorer in Bria Holmes this year, but he has to replace players who haven’t even gotten here yet before they came down with ACL injuries. “Nia Staples, freshman we brought in, is out for the season with an ACL,” Carey said. “Aisha Edwards, who we thought woiuld be our point guard, out for the season with an ACL. Then we had another freshman, Krystaline McCune, come in with an ACL so she’s out for the season.” It leaves the guard position quite short. “Yeah,” Carey said, “but I’ve been through this before and we’ll make it work.” More important to him, though, is addressing the cause of the problem because, quite frankly, he’s had enough. “We have to try something. We can’t continue to do this,” Carey said. What to do? He isn’t sure. “I don’t know. If I had the answer, we’d all have a helluva party right now. We have to try something,” he said. And what that something is right now is changing the workout approach and going to hi tech with workout vests that monitor what each athlete is going through. “We’re doing extra preventive stuff twice a week now,” Carey said. “We’re also getting the monitors. They’re vests and we’re going to make them wear them during workouts with the strength coach and with us. We can read that and see if they are tired or whatever.”


A lot of doctors have noted that women get far more ACL injuries than men and Carey has a theory about it. “I think we wear them down a little bit, especially when they first get here,” Carey said. “The strength coach is trying to get them up with the returning players and they are trying to do the same things as the returners as far as running and lifting. “Then, when they get in the gym with me and they’re not getting out of nothing.” So, the strength coach is going to have back off some. “The way I look at it, if I’m going hard in practice, the strength coach can’t go as hard,” Carey said. “I’m not going to quit going hard. So who is going to make adjustment? The strength coach, depending on what I do in practice.” “I called other coaches. We’ve looked at it and this monitor thing, A lot of the schools and professional teams are going to it. Both soccer teams here have it. Football has it over there now. “We have to do something because can’t sit here every year and have two or three out that I was counting on playing and the season hasn’t even started.” “I’m scared to death to go live. I gotta go live in practice, but I’m scared to go live. Every time someone falls down on the floor in practice, I hold my breath. That’s not a good feeling.” Carey wants it understood that isn’t going to change anything about his demands for pefection. “We have to win. I’m not making excuses.” he said. “People will be saying I’m making excuses before the season starts. No, I’m not making excuses. We have to address this.”


Carey's team provides big help to flood relief Bob Hertzel/The Exponent Telegram – October 16, 2016 “Being from West Virginia, the things that happen here are always going to be important, good or bad. So, the fact we weren’t affected in this area, we’re all West Virginia people so everyone was affected.” — WVU women’s basketball coach Mike Carey on his decision to gather his team together and help during summer flooding in southern West Virginia. MORGANTOWN — The water was still waist deep when Mike Carey made up his mind. The videos he’d seen on the news and the death toll that was rising, along with the water, made the decision — all of it was getting to the West Virginia women’s basketball coach. “I just felt we should get involved. Let’s reach out and get our staff involved, our team involved. Let’s see what we can do,” Carey said. So began a journey neither he nor his players would forget, a journey into community service, into helping those who need it the most, a journey that is still going on for when Carey brings his women’s team to the Robert C. Byrd High School gym in Clarksburg for an exhibition game against Concord at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1, the proceeds will go to help the flood victims. ••• ”I’m a giving person and always thinking about others. I heard about the flood but I really didn’t know much about it. I was seeing things on social media and news sites about the death toll going up and bad things happening, so I looked it up on my own.” — WVU women’s basketball captain Lanay Montgomery. As Carey was touched, so were his players. Even as he was getting into putting something together to help, they were gathering themselves to aid in the relief effort. “I got together with Desiree Rhodes,” Montgomery said. “I saw WVU had sites where we could donate things. I said let’s get all the girls together and get things to donate. I sent a text out to the girls and gave them some information on the flood. “I told them what they needed down there and said let’s each get three things — not that we have a lot of money — or even more if you can, and we’ll drop it off.” They put their efforts together, bought needed items with their own money, and were ready to drop them off when they learned that the sites weren’t still operating. Undaunted, they contacted the university and were told they could drop it off at Stansbury Hall, which they did. That, though, wasn’t the end of it. It was only the beginning. ••• ”We didn’t want to go down and hand out water. We wanted to get involved.” — Carey.


A journey into southern West Virginia was arranged. “When we first were going to go down there, we were going to help clear out a school, but that didn’t happen,” Carey said. “But there were a couple of families we could help out. I felt that could make a difference, so it was good.” Carey’s whole team had volunteered. “I didn’t have to make them buy into it. They all went out of their way. That was what was amazing to me,” he said. “A lot of the girls weren’t up to knowledge on how bad it was down there,” Montgomery said. “(Assistant) Pat Biondi showed us a news clip. You saw it, and it’s like it looks terrible, but you really don’t get the full force of it until you get down there.” And so Carey’s team left for Rainelle. ••• ”It was all wiped out. It looked like a ghost town. It was really sad, a humbling experience for all of us.” — Montgomery No one was ready for what they saw. “All of us don’t come from the best of places, but nothing like that,” Montgomery said. “We walked up to the center where you register. We met this woman and she has this little bag and it was like flat,” Montgomery recalled. “I asked her, ‘Where you affected by the flood?’ “She said ‘Yeah, this is all I have.’ “It was just the bag. Nothing in it. It was like her house, her car, everything was gone.” That’s not what anyone ever wants to have happen. “Even if you grew up rough — I know a couple of the girls and I come from rough neighborhoods — but you look past that because these people didn’t even have a house. Everything was gone, their life work, their savings ... gone,” Montgomery said. So off to work they went. “I was amazed at the damage,” Carey admitted. “You see it on the news, but it’s different than being there, seeing people who worked their whole lives accumulate things, get a house, and it’s all destroyed. “You feel bad. You want to help people. That’s why I didn’t want to go hand out water. People need to hand out water, but I wanted to go down there and get dirty.” •••


”I knew we had a bunch of good people, but to go down there, put a mask on and say we’re going to get down and get dirty. Man oh man did they do it. Never once did I have to say, ‘Let’s go!’” — Mike Carey. This wasn’t a photo opportunity. This was the real deal. Carey and his players were at the home of Jack Redden and his wife. It was completely ruined, but the West Virginia women’s basketball team went about gutting the house. “He told me he was going to leave, that he couldnt’ watch us tearing his house apart. But he came back and that made it worthwhile, him meeting some of our players and our staff,” Carey said. This was construction work being done by a group of 18-to-22-year-old college girls who play basketball, spend a lot of time on social media, do some giggling and are just beginning to feel their way into the world. “There were a couple of people from the Peace Corps, they told us what we were doing,” Montgomery said. “It was like ‘Here’s some buckets and gloves and masks. Now there might be some snakes down there ... ‘ and we’re all ‘Oooooh.’” “I don’t know what I really was expecting to see or do, but once we got there, it was like, ‘We have to take up this floor?’ It’s like carpet and hardwood under it. I mean, we never — the most I’d ever done to a floor was vacuum it. “You’re talking about gutting a house.” They attacked it like an opponents’ defense. “It was amazing,” Carey said. “They outworked me, a lot of them. They even organized. I mean, you’d have one of them holding the crowbar and another hitting it and the wood flying. I was so proud of them.” Family came by. Neighbors came by. One of the WVU girls’ mothers even pitched in.

••• ”This almost made me cry. I’ve never seen such a hard working group of girls that just jumped right in and worked so hard all day long. It was so hot and dirty and not one time did any of them complain. From the bottom of my heart and the rest of my family, thank you all and your staff so much. Mr. “Jack” was a fan before, but he is really a fan now.” — Lisa Marie Redden, Jack Redden’s daughter-in-law on Facebook. “What stuck with me was the family. The guy, ‘Mr. Jack’ they call him, his daughter came, the kids came and then some of the community came,” Carey said. “We had a neighbor there whose house was already done and he started helping. Some of the neighbors saw us there and came over and started helping where the weren’t doing that before. “It was eye opening. I knew West Virginians were like when things were tough, but it was good to see people come together like that.


“Say whatever you want about West Virginia and the people, but they are not afraid to work hard, they are not afraid to get dirty and they not afraid to help each other.” It was a day they will remember the rest of their lives. “I think stuff like that is part of their education. It’s not things are always going to be great. There’s going to be controversy, things in their life that that doesn’t go well. That’s part of their education,” Carey said. “If I was a teacher and that was a class, I’d of given them all As.” “It was hard. It was hard on our bodies, but when we’re representing the state we can’t let things like that go undone,” Montgomery said. “I know, we didn’t do a lot for them because after we were done they still didn’t have anything.” Except knowing that people across the state cared and were with them in their time of need.

Connect Bridgeport Sports: WVU Coach Mike Carey Excited about Bringing His Women's Team to Clarksburg to Play, Aid Flood Relief

WVU Coach Mike Carey Excited about Bringing His Women's Team to Clarksburg to Play, Aid Flood Relief By Jeff Toquinto (profile.cfm?user=5071ABBA45C94CE59BC59D2A6E16983C) on October 20, 2016 via Connect-Bridgeport.com (http://www.connect-bridgeport.com/)

One of Harrison County’s most successful sons is coming home. And you’re going to get a chance to see him at work. This afternoon inside the city council chambers of Clarksburg City Hall, West Virginia University Women’s Basketball Coach Mike Carey returned to his hometown to discuss the first trip by a WVU team to compete in Clarksburg since March of 1942. At that time, the Mountaineer men’s team battled Salem College at the old Carmichael Auditorium in the downtown and beat the Tigers by a 77-63 score. “I always tell people when I cross this county line I feel like I’m back home,” Carey said. “I’m really looking forward to bringing my team here.” That’s what’s happening on Tuesday, Nov. 1. At that time, WVU’s women’s team will be playing an exhibition game against Concord at Robert C. Byrd High School starting at 7 p.m. Not only is it a chance to see the Liberty High School graduate and former Salem College basketball player and coach back on his home turf, but it’s a chance to help out those impacted by the flooding that took place in June in West Virginia. Carey said 100 percent of the proceeds, from the tickets sales to concessions and beyond, will be donated to flood relief efforts. A check, he said, will be presented during the Mountaineers first home game of the 2016-17 season. “Whatever happens in West Virginia, good or bad, affects all of us just not who it’s happening to,” said Carey. This isn’t the first time Carey has stepped up with his team to assist. On July 15, the team quietly traveled to Rainelle to help several families in the recovery effort. Carey said the goal was to be “hands on” with assistance and he believes that took place. “Our girls did a wonderful job. They were tearing out walls, tearing out kitchens, tearing out bathrooms, and taking floors up. They did a great job and I was very proud of them,” said Carey. “ … We just wanted to go do and help. We didn’t want to go down as a promotional thing. Since then, I’ve been thinking what else we could do.” The opportunity presented itself in an odd fashion. With renovations currently taking place at the Coliseum, Carey said he had to find a place to play his exhibition game with Concord. “My first thought across my mind was to take it to Clarksburg,” said Carey. “ … I thought it was a great idea to bring it back here and be around people from West Virginia and people that really care and take care of one another.” Carey said he’s hoping for a huge crowd to be on hand for the event. The reason for that is more than just to show support for the program. Carey is hoping for the turnout in order to be able to raise as much money as possible for flood relief. “If you’ve been there and have seen it, you know how much help (the southern families) need. We can do a little bit,” said Carey. “It’s not a lot, but if everyone does a little bit it can really help.” Tickets are only $5. They are available in advance at Mountaineer World in Bridgeport, MCM Business Systems in Nutter and at the Mountaineer Ticket Office on the second floor of the WVU Coliseum. Tickets can also be purchased on game day. http://www.connect-bridgeport.com/connect.cfm?func=view&section=Sports&item=WVU-Coach-Mike-Carey-Excited-about-Bringing-His-Womens-Team-to-…

Carey’s team was picked to finish fourth in the Big 12 preseason poll. The chance to see a potential top 25 program in Clarksburg is a rare opportunity and Carey is hoping people come out to the game. “I am always telling my team about Clarksburg, and it’s good,” said Carey. “They’ve been down here a little bit, but this time they’re really going to experience it this time and we’re excited about that.” Carey was greeted formally by Clarksburg Council member Gary Bowden who, ironically, used to call several of Carey's earlier games as a coach on radio. Mayor Catherine Goings officially introduced him. Also, Carey is asking fans of the program to stick around after the game. He said after he addressed the squad following the exhibition, they will come back out and sign autographs.

Montgomery on a mission in senior season Bob Hertzel/Exponent Telegram - October 26, 2016 MORGANTOWN — West Virginia’s Lanay Montgomery is a woman on a mission this year for Mike Carey’s WVU women’s basketball team. In the past, Montgomery has been a role player, an underclassman who ruled the lane on defense, but who didn’t have a lot to do with the offense and who was always in the shadow of Bria Holmes. Holmes is gone, off to the WNBA where she put in a strong rookie season, and if anyone is going to put a stamp on this 2016-17 edition of the Mountaineers, it has to be Montgomery. To begin with, she is a senior with a degree in psychology in her possession. And, at 6-foot-5 and about to push her way into a number of Top 10 spots on WVU’s all-time lists, she’s an experienced player. Mostly, though, she is a voice, a locker room voice who is driven to win and drives the team to follow her. “I just say, ‘Lanay, handle it’ and she handles it. She’s a great leader,” Carey said. That now is a given with this team that must build its post-Holmes identity. So is Montgomery’s defense, which landed her on the Big 12’s All-Defense team last season. “Lanay has been one of the best defensive centers in the country,” Carey said. She is among the greatest shot blockers ever to play at WVU, recording 97 last year to move her into third place on the school’s all-time list with 231. Montgomery is 40 away from passing Asya Bussie for second place behind Georgeanne Wells. It’s something she takes pride in, admitting that while she’s into winning, not numbers, she follows how many blocks she has. “It’s what I do,” Montgomery said, of blocking shots. But she also rebounds and Montgomery is 91 rebounds and just 17 offensive rebounds shy of moving into the Top 10 on the Mountaineers’ all-time list in those categories. She is a vital component of this WVU team, in part because of the makeup of the conference, which features a lot of size. “The only thing we worry about is in the post. The Big 12 has so many big players in the post. Look at Baylor and they have 6-5, 6-5 and 6-4 that they bring in there.” Carey said. “Look at us, I bring in Lanay and then Teana Muldrow.” It’s Montgomery’s job to battle the bigs among the bigs, which includes Oklahoma, which this year signed a 6-foot-7 recruit.


This year, though, Montgomery needs to do it more on the offensive end, in addition to her defense. Last season she doubled her season scoring to 8.8 points a game but Carey, without his 2,000point scorer in Holmes, needs more offensively in the post. Montgomery is determined to provide that. “I built up my confidence more and I’ve worked on my hook shots, both let and right and counter moves off my hook,” Montgomery said. “Let’s be honest,” Carey said, “someone has to pick up the scoring for Bria Holmes. We need Lanay to do that. We need Tynice to do that. Teana is going to do that. Even Chania Ray has to do it, along with Pardee and Brewer. “Lanay has worked hard on her offense, but you never know,” Carey continued. “Right now, going into the season I think she is going to score a lot more for us, because she’s on balance a lot more. “She demands the ball when she’s open, and I like that.”

First came the rains, then the floods, and soon after there was Lanay Montgomery. Montgomery, a 6-foot-5 center for the West Virginia Mountaineers basketball team, took time out from helping the program toward its goal of Big 12 and D1 excellence to do something even more important: helping others. Montgomery took out a large amount of free time in July to reach out to those in southern Virginia and assist with the floods that came after major storms hit the area. Later, she spearheaded a group of teammates that donated supplies to be used in the flood relief effort.


West Virginia Athletics Of course, she wasn’t finished. Montgomery then traveled to Rainelle, West Virginia with her teammates and coaching staff to help gut and renovate a family's home. Tuesday, the team held am exhibition in Clarksburg, West Virginia against D2 Concord and all proceeds raised will benefit those in the flood. Finally, throw in Montgomery cooking for families at the Ronald McDonald House, helping teach preschool children at the West Virginia University day care and assisting with the providing of food for a local helpless shelter and you have a modern day champion for the people. To say Montgomery and the Mountaineers’ program has taken altruism to new heights would be an understatement. “She’s a great role model,” West Virginia head coach Mike Carey said of Montgomery. “In my first meeting with Lanay, when we were recruiting her, we could tell she was the type of person that was we wanted in our program. She was very motivated and wanted to get better. Lanay is very academic oriented. She has been tremendous for our community because she is willing to help others in need. She’s a complete student-athlete.” But what motivates Montgomery to give so much of herself to essentially people we were first strangers?


“This is definitely my personality type, I am a very giving person,” Montgomery said. “Anybody who needs anything. I haven’t done a lot of community service because of (her academic and athletic commitments), but in high school I used to always go down and help out at a kitchen for homeless people and I would do that every week. “I really think it’s because of my mom (Veronica Howard). She’s the exact same way and I learned from her and how as a single mother she sacrificed for (the family) and would always give to people like homeless people in the area. "I didn’t come from much and my mom didn’t come from much, but she was always a giving person, making sure everybody was OK. My mom is a very giving person and kind-hearted and she would sacrifice anything for people.” The flooding, some of the deadliest in the state’s history that began in June, and the involvement in the assistance to the victims was an intense experience for Montgomery. “Coach Carey said that when we go down there it wasn’t going to be about giving out hugs and water and we were really going to do something” Montgomery said. “We drove down there and went to the volunteer center and they gave us a bunch of assignments. We went to two homes and helped two families out. One, we just helped out with the shed because the house was already gutted out. "The other…we gutted his house out…up to the water line. That took about seven hours and there were about 20 of us. I thought it was a good idea, just because we play for the state and the people support us. It’s the least we could have done to help the state we represent. “We went down there and it was awful. It was eye-opening. We had read some articles and seen some news clips, but it’s different when you see the damage and all of the pain it causes people. Some people…they lost everything. When we drove through the town it was almost like a ghost town almost. You could feel the sadness in the air. You had this feeling come on to you about how they were feeling. It was really terrible. "So many peoples’ homes had been wiped out. It was a humbling event for my teammates and myself.”


Montgomery believes strongly in her mantra that the team does owe some type of reciprocity and obligation to those who support the team. “We’re kind of like a pro team for West Virginia and that’s where we come into play,” Montgomery said. “That’s what players should do. People look up to us. You are not just doing it for the greater good of yourself, but the greater good for the people who support you. "All the people here stick together and are very welcoming people. Everyone looks up to us and they support us. We’re obligated to do it.” Her teammates can also count on Montgomery in a pinch too. “My teammates know that I am the most giving person and that if their car breaks down at three-in-the-morning that they can call me and I’ll be there,” Montgomery said.


WVU looks for Martin to be more selfish JUSTIN JACKSON The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — Tynice Martin was on her way to having a career game until — as WVU women’s basketball coach Mike Carey described it — she simply slipped into the background. “She’s such an unselfish player,” Carey said. “A lot of it was, we had a big lead and she wanted other people to get involved.” In WVU’s 56-point exhibition win against Concord, on Nov. 1, Martin connected on her first five shots and scored 12 first-quarter points. On pace to score just shy of 50, Martin instead didn’t shoot again until the second half and finished with 14. “It was weird,” said Martin, who was the Big 12’s Freshman of the Year last season, averaging 10.3 points per game. “Coach (Carey) was telling us to work on the little things. He wanted us to work on ball movement and things like that. I was just trying to stay in the flow of the game. I don’t know why I kind of dropped off.” As the 22nd-ranked Mountaineers prepare to open the season, at 4 p.m. today, against Charleston Southern, of the Big South Conference, Carey is giving the ultimate green light to Martin. It is simply a matter of Martin staying consistent and aggressive. “When I played, I would have loved for my coach to keep telling me to shoot,” Carey said. “I told her she has to be more aggressive offensively, especially if we’re struggling offensively in a game.” Much is being put on the shoulders of the sophomore guard from Atlanta. The Mountaineers are looking at her to help fill the void left by Bria Holmes’ graduation. “We definitely need her to be consistent,” WVU forward Teana Muldrow said. “We need her to score. Defenses are going to look at her as the scorer and so are we. We’re going to need her to stay up at all times of the game.” For Martin to get in that frame of mind, Carey said it took some conversations about being able to take charge in games and knowing when was the right time to take a few more shots. “We need her to step up and take over games,” Carey said. “When you take over a game, then everyone else around her will start to play better. “I’ve told her to be more selfish. For us to be a better team, we need her to take more shots and be selfish.” As for the Mountaineers, who won eight of their last nine season openers, Carey said his main concern was turnovers. “What I’m looking for is to not get anyone hurt in the stands, because we’re going to throw the ball around all over the place,” Carey said. “Safety will be the first thing.”


No. 21 WVU Prevails Over Howard Associated Press – Nov. 16, 2016

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - In Morgantown, W.Va., Tynice Martin hit all 10 of her free throws and scored a career-high 27 points to lead West Virginia. Chania Ray also had a career best with 17 points as the Mountaineers (2-0) were never challenged by the Bison (0-2). West Virginia led 39-20 at the half and then scored 32 points in the third quarter. The Mountaineers made 11 of 17 shots, including all four 3-pointers, to push the lead to 71-38.


WVU Women Go to 2-0 Carey not pleased with play despite 46-point victory MORGANTOWN — After an opening season thrashing of Charleston Southern (8838), No. 21 West Virginia looked for much of the same when Howard (0-1) from the MEAC paid a visit to the Coliseum. The Mountaineers (2-0) scored 11 of the rst 16 points and never looked back in registering a 95-49 victory before a sparse crowd Tuesday night.

“I don’t know,” veteran coach Mike Carey bemoaned following the victory. “Sloppy. Too many turnovers. Gave up too many layups. O ense wasn’t good. Defense wasn’t good. We don’t pass well out of the post. We don’t play hard enough. “This can’t continue to happen. It can happen against a team like this, but it can’t happen against the better teams or you will lose.” Sophomore guard Tynice Martin proved to be too much for the Bison as the Atlanta, Georgia native tallied a career and game-high 27 points to lead ve Mountaineers into double gures. Joining her was Chania Ray (17), Alexis Brewer (13), Kristina King (12) and Teana Muldrow (11). Ray’s total was also a career high for the junior while Martin’s 10-for-10 showing at the charity stripe made her the ninth Mountaineer in the program’s history to shoot double digit free throws without a miss. Redshirt senior Te’Shya Heslip was the only Howard player to crack double digits with 25.

“It’s ridiculous,” Carey said. “Our guards are turning it over more than they should, but when your 4s and 5s have that many it’s ridiculous. I usually coach the guards,

WVU’s Montgomery ups her already strong game TODD MURRAY The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — WVU women’s basketball center Lanay Montgomery’s shooting accuracy in the Dec. 21 win over Mount St. Mary’s dropped 22 percent from her previous outing. But don’t fret. It’s simply not possible to improve on 100 percent shooting from the field, which Montgomery achieved in going 9-for-9 in a 107-40 thrashing of Longwood, on Dec. 17, in Charleston. Montgomery still shot 78 percent (7 of 9) versus Mount St. Mary’s, finishing with 16 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a 77-45 rout. For the season, she’s shooting a blistering 75 percent (63 of 84) from the floor. “I can’t make them all,” Montgomery said with a smile. Some folks were wondering about that, especially after the 6-foot-5 senior sunk her first five shots Wednesday to extend her shots-made streak to14. The string finally ended late in the first half, and Montgomery sat for most of the second half as the lead grew. “I didn’t know I was on a streak, really,” Montgomery said. “I didn’t even pay any attention to it.” WVU coach Mike Carey took Montgomery out because he did not want to risk any more injuries after Katrina Pardee (nose), Tynice Martin (ankle) and Alexis Brewer (knee) went down in the third quarter. Montgomery remained active as a vocal presence from the bench, urging her teammates to keep up their intensity. Her actions did not go unnoticed. “She does a great job on and off the floor,” Carey said. “She’s cheering on the bench, clapping and being positive. She is a great leader.” Montgomery averages 12.4 points and 9.8 rebounds through 12 games. Those numbers are improvements on the 8.2 points and 8.1 rebounds she averaged during her junior season. “I think I had confidence last year,” Montgomery said. “I’m being more aggressive with the ball, making my move and being more aggressive going strong. I’m learning to finish. It’s all about how you finish.” She continues to shine as a defensive presence. Her 42 blocks lead the team. Her five rejections against Mount St. Mary’s boosted her to No. 2 on WVU’s all-time blocked shots list, with 273. She passed former teammate Asya Bussie (270). “She gets to the ball and saves our defense so much,” Carey said. “When she’s not in there, people are driving to the rim. When she’s in there, she’s blocking when they get to the rim.” Montgomery’s presence gives Martin the freedom to take chances defensively. http://www.dominionpost.com/WVU%E2%80%99s-Montgomery-ups-her-already

“I gamble,” Martin admitted. “Even if I get beat, sometimes she’ll come over my head and block the shot. I forget she’s there sometimes. It’s good to have her there.” WVU power forward Teana Muldrow agreed. “She’s always been very good on defense,” said Muldrow, who had 14 points and five boards Wednesday. “Offensively, she’s being a lot more confident and just sealing and finishing. She has come a long way, and I give her a lot of credit for that.” The Mountaineers begin conference play Thursday, at TCU. WVU plays at Kansas State on Jan. 1 before coming home to face two of the best teams in the league: No. 3 Baylor (Jan. 4) and No. 20 Oklahoma (Jan. 8). “I’m happy we’re going to play girls my height,” Montgomery said. “With the competition every night, you can’t go out there and play for 20 minutes. You have to play for 40 minutes in the Big 12. “Even the teams that didn’t do so well in conference last year, they are playing well now. We just have to go out there and play hard. We know — the veterans who have been here — you can’t sleep on any team.”

NCAA basketball: Tynice Martin fuels West Virginia's undefeated start

What motivates the best player behind West Virginia’s ridiculous start? Being overlooked. By Kayla Lombardo DEC 22, 2016

Tynice Martin was admittedly angry when she saw the Big 12 Conference’s release for its annual preseason accolades in early October. A measly Preseason Honorable Mention is all the West Virginia University guard received from the conference’s head coaches, despite averaging 10.3 points per game off the bench last season and being named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year. http://www.excellesports.com/news/tynice-martin-west-virginia-basketball/

NCAA basketball: Tynice Martin fuels West Virginia's undefeated start

“When the preseason awards were announced, I didn’t like that they had an honorable mention for me,” Martin told Excelle Sports. “I wanted to come out and prove a point.” Since her sophomore season tipped in early November, Martin’s point has been proved. Averaging 18.5 points per game, she currently ranks third in the Big 12 in scoring and has carried her team to one of its best starts in program history. West Virginia has a perfect 12–0 record heading into Big 12 play next week, marking just the third time in program history that it has finished its non-conference slate undefeated. [More from Excelle Sports: Miami’s Jessica Thomas embraces underdog role] “We feel very confident,” said Martin. “We’re undefeated and I feel like we’re underrated. During conference play, we have something to prove. We just have to come out and beat teams that other teams think we can’t beat. “It’s one thing to be undefeated in non-conference play, but it’s a whole different ballgame in conference.” West Virginia already knows the game can change come conference play. Last season, the Mountaineers went an impressive 11–2 during non-conference action before losing six of its Big 12 games to finish in third place behind Baylor and Texas, respectively, in the regular season. The postseason brought further disappointment to Morgantown, W.Va. when the Mountaineers were bounced from the Big 12 tournament by the Longhorns in the semifinals before ultimately ending their season in the second round of the NCAA tournament with a loss to Ohio State.

NCAA basketball: Tynice Martin fuels West Virginia's undefeated start

Tynice Martin (Courtesy of West Virginia Athletics) “I had been to the finals in high school four years in a row, so last year losing early was really an eye-opener for me,” Martin said of her freshman campaign. “And this year, I’ve really been working on trying to help my team get further than last year and trying to win against opponents that we didn’t beat last year. We’re looking to do a full turnaround.” As a team co-captain, the Atlanta native leads a deep roster that features eight returners from last year’s squad, as well as talented junior college transfer, Kristina King. As of Tuesday, West Virginia ranked in seven different top-15 categories nationally while leading the nation in field goal percentage defense (28.3 percent) and sitting in second in scoring defense (48.6) and blocked shots per game (7.4). To boot, the Mountaineers were heralded as the NCAA’s Team of the Week on Tuesday. But according to Martin, her team is just scratching the surface of its potential. [More from Excelle Sports: Vivians has led Mississippi State to best-ever start] “I feel like if we play to our potential in how we play defense and how we move the ball on offense, we can beat any team,” Martin added. “I think we’re one of the best teams in the Big 12.” Her confident hope won’t have the chance to become reality for a few months. So until then, Martin is focused on what she can do to help herself and her teammates continue to prove onlookers wrong. “Even after a great game or a good practice, I know I still have stuff to work on … I still have some learning to do,” she said. “But I also know that we’re going to get far if I keep working.”

The Dominion Post - King’s role off bench just what WVU needs

King’s role off bench just what WVU needs JUSTIN JACKSON The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — There is no interest from the 13th-ranked WVU women’s basketball team in being a five-piece band. Before the Mountaineers (9-0) enter Big 12 play, they know they’ll need a bench. “We don’t want word to get out that we don’t have a bench,” said WVU center Lanay Montgomery, who will enter today’s (Dec. 11) 6:30 p.m. game — against USC Upstate, at the WVU Coliseum — averaging 10.9 points and 10 rebounds per game. “It’s going to take more than five of us to have a successful team. We need people to come off the bench and provide points and good defense.” Enter junior forward Kristina King, who began the season as the Big 12’s Newcomer of the Year — she was the national junior-college Player of the Year last season. She’s armed with great size at 6-foot-3 and an uncanny ability to still run the floor like a point guard, so King’s scoring ability was never in doubt. “With [King], it’s been defense,” WVU guard Tynice Martin said. “Coach (Mike) Carey’s defense is the main part. Once you get that down, everything else seems a little easier. Her offense has always been there, but she’s starting to get more settled in on defense, too.” That was never more evident than in Sunday’s 66-61 victory, over Mississippi. With Montgomery and fellow starters Teana Muldrow and Chania Ray all in foul trouble, it was time to see just what King and the Mountaineers’ bench were capable of. The result? King scored a career-high 16 points and added nine rebounds, while Alexis Brewer added 12 points off the bench. A season ago, Carey was able to bring Martin and Muldrow off the bench in what was a blessing for the Mountaineers. “They lifted a lot off” Bria Holmes, Montgomery said. “Everybody knew Bria was our go-to scorer, but when we brought [Martin and Muldrow] off the bench, they provided us with a spark, sometimes when, maybe, Bria wasn’t having her best offensive night.” A year later, it is Martin who is the Mountaineers’ leading scorer, averaging 19 ppg. Muldrow is the team’s second-leading scorer (13.4 ppg) and rebounder (9.2 rpg), which leaves a lot of room for contributions from the bench. “It’s important that we develop something off the bench,” Carey said. “Kristina King, against Auburn, came off the bench and scored 16 points for us. I’m hoping she is starting to see what needs to be done in order to get playing time. I think she is. “Starting the season, we thought she could be something for us off the bench.

to the speed and learn to play hard. She’s come a long way. Once she gets it, she’s going to be pretty good. We just need for her to be consistent.” To be sure, there is a transition period to going from junior-college star to coming off the bench a year later. Martin, who was a high school star in Atlanta before coming to WVU, had to learn the role last season, as a freshman. “We’ve talked about it, because it was really different for me last year,” Martin said. “It’s different for her this year. She has to know that she’s still playing a big role on the team. She’s getting it. She’s been working really hard in the gym.”

January Big 12 slate stacked against WVU TODD MURRAY The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — Mike Carey rarely looks ahead during his WVU women’s basketball team’s season. He’s the quintessential one­foe­at­a­ time kind of coach. Carey, though, could not help himself after the Mountaineers lost at Big 12 Conference rival Kansas State, 86­71, on Jan. 1. “When you lose a game, you start looking ahead a little bit,” said Carey, whose Mountaineers (13­2, 1­2 Big 12) fell to No. 2 Baylor, 91­56, on Jan. 4. What Carey discovered was that the Big 12 schedule makers were not kind to WVU in January. The Mountaineers play five of their six games against perhaps the three best teams in the league — Baylor, Texas and Oklahoma — this month. “We play Baylor twice this month and Texas twice this month,” said Carey, whose team first hosts No. 20 Oklahoma, at 4 p.m. Sunday. “This month is a really tough month on us. If we can survive at the end of this month and be somewhere close and then (we can) go into February and hopefully do what we need to do.” The Mountaineers didn’t come close to doing what they needed to do to spring an upset of Baylor. WVU’s lone lead came after Tynice Martin sank a 3­pointer to make it 3­ 2, with 9:06 left to play in the opening quarter. Baylor controlled the boards, out­rebounding WVU, 60­30, and grabbing 22 offensive rebounds. The Mountaineers shot just 31.1 percent from the floor and 61.9 percent from the line. “Both ends of the floor were frustrating to me,” Carey said. “We wouldn’t come off picks. We drive the ball instead of kicking it out. People get out of line. “It’s just amazing to me. I told them after the game [Baylor] didn’t do one thing we didn’t work on in practice. It’s just wanting to do it player against player and having a little heart.” One player who pleased Carey in the two losses is junior point guard Chania Ray. She drilled six 3­pointers and scored a career­high 23 points against Kansas State. Although she endured a difficult shooting game (3 for 14) against Baylor, Ray finished with a game­high eight assists and snagged six rebounds in 38 minutes. “Chania Ray competed,” Carey said. She’s doing so at a position she did not expect to play this season.

Carey planned to move Ray to shooting guard, but Aisha Edwards’ preseason knee injury ended her season and scuttled those plans. “I’m pretty coachable. Whatever coach needs me to do, I’m going to do,” Ray said. “Whatever we need to do to win, I’ll do. Playing [shooting guard] sounded good because that’s my natural position, but at the same time, if playing [the point] is what I have to do, it doesn’t bother me.” A point guard’s main objective is to distribute the ball, but Carey still wants Ray looking for her shot and taking it when it is there. Ray has no doubt that she can score as well as dish out assists. “I’ve been working on being more aggressive offensively and getting my teammates the ball,” Ray said. “Both pieces to that are finally coming together — being a scorer and an assist­passer.” NOTES — Baylor snapped the Mountaineers’ 14­game home winning streak with Wednesday’s triumph. Baylor had been the last team to beat WVU at home, with a 71­61 conquest Jan. 30, 2016. — Guard Katrina Pardee made her first start since breaking her nose in the Dec. 21 game, against Mount St. Mary’s.

Carey wants to see Baylor effort every game

William Wotring/The Dominion Post

TODD MURRAY The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — Mike Carey has heard all he wants to hear about his WVU women’s basketball team’s great effort in its 79­73 loss at No. 2 Baylor on Jan. 21. He doesn’t want anyone patting his players on the back and telling them, “Good job!” “Bottom line is, we lost,” Carey said. “We’re in the business of winning games. Did we play harder? Absolutely we played hard, but we’re supposed to play hard. I’m probably madder now than what I was. “There are a lot of games we could have won this year if we would have played as hard as we did against Baylor. We have to continue to do that. That’s going to be the key. I think the rest of our schedule, if we play hard we’ll be in every game.” The No. 22 Mountaineers (15­5, 3­5 Big 12) certainly have a score to settle with Texas Tech (11­7, 3­4), which visits the Coliseum at 7 p.m. Jan. 25. After jumping out to a 19­11 first­quarter lead in the Jan. 11 game, at Lubbock, Texas, WVU played one of its worst quarters in recent memory, scoring just six points, as the Raiders climbed back into the game. The lackluster play continued as the Mountaineers lost their lead in the third quarter. A frenetic rally in the final period fell short in a 75­66 loss. “We came out and we played hard the first quarter,” WVU center Lanay Montgomery said. “We were making our outside shots. We got lazy on defense. That’s how we ended up losing the game. We didn’t play in the second and third quarter.” Carey watched a tape of the game Sunday night and made his players look at the first half before Monday’s practice. It was not an enjoyable experience. “Hopefully, it will motivate them, and they understand that they are blowing a lot of opportunities,” Carey said. “We’re into the second half of the season. We don’t have the luxury of blowing any more games.


“Now if we get beat and we play hard, I’m all right with that, but let’s go out there and fight and scrap and play West Virginia basketball.” One of WVU’s scrappier players against Baylor was sophomore guard Katrina Pardee, who scored 13 points in 31 minutes. Pardee, who broke her nose in a Dec. 21 game, against Mount St. Mary’s, failed to score in the Mountaineers’ previous two games. Her perimeter scoring was critical to keeping WVU in the contest. Many of her points came on pull­up jumpers and lay­ups as she drove past her defender. “That might have been the most lay­ups I’ve shot all season,” said Pardee, who played without a mask for the first time since the injury. “I don’t know what it was. Coach told us we needed to attack them. They do have ‘bigs’ (tall players), but I was able to find a way to kind of maneuver around them.” The extra work she put in with her shot at the practice facility also paid off Saturday. “I feel like my shot has been coming along better,” she said. “I need to focus on getting my feet set and not getting off balance. “Most of the time when I miss, that’s what the problem is. I try not to rush anything and let it come to me.” Carey liked what he saw from Pardee. “She was patient,” he said. “They were running at her because they know she can shoot the 3. She was going around them and shooting pull­ups and even did a couple of lay­ups over their big girls. “That was great to see. Hopefully, we’ll continue to do that — not just her but everybody.” Texas Tech will look to end a two­game losing streak. The Raiders have not won since beating WVU and lost three of their last four league games. “If we can’t get up for this game at home after they beat us, we’re probably in trouble,” Carey said. “We have to come out and play extremely hard. We have to come out and do whatever it takes to win this basketball game. I’m hoping we see that from our players.”


Muldrow a fine fit for WVU’s ‘stretch 4’

TODD MURRAY The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — Mike Carey hails it as one of the most critical positions on the floor for his No. 22 WVU women’s basketball team. Carey refers to it as his “stretch 4,” which is a power forward who plays around the basket as well as stretches the defense by stepping out onto the perimeter and sinking shots. Graduate transfer Arielle Roberson capably filled the position a year ago, in her lone season in a Mountaineers uniform, and junior Teana Muldrow assumed that role this season. The 6­foot­2 Muldrow matched her season high with 22 points in Wednesday’s 89­79 victory over Texas Tech, at the Coliseum. “She’s that stretch 4 that we love to have in our program,” Carey said. “She does a good job stretching the floor with the 3­(pointer) and she can go past you and pass it and put it on the floor. “Teana is a very valuable person in our program. We need that stretch 4 to be successful. When she’s playing well, everybody is playing well.” Foul trouble plagued Muldrow in the Mountaineers’ 75­66 loss at Tech, on Jan. 11, as the Raiders limited her to six points on 2­of­11 shooting. Tech wasn’t as fortunate in the rematch. Muldrow drilled 8 of 16 shots from the floor and all six of her free throws. She also had a team­high seven assists, not to mention two blocks and a steal.


“I think when you have a Teana Muldrow on your team you can do a lot of things offensively,” Tech coach Candi Whitaker said. “Her versatility allows you to really run a lot of creative things offensively with her ability to step out and play inside and put it on the floor and pass it. She’s just a great all­around player.” Muldrow is the Mountaineers’ (16­5, 4­5 Big 12) second­leading scorer (14.8) and rebounder (8.0). She’s shoots 48.5 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent (20 of 52) from beyond the 3­point arc. Few power forwards in the Big 12 Conference have the green light to fire away from the perimeter, but Carey wants Muldrow shooting there when the opportunity arises. Muldrow, who can also take over at center when Lanay Montgomery needs a breather, understands she has an advantage when she’s out there because most defenders her size are loath to venture that far away from the basket. “I know she is probably not going to come out and guard me as much as another guard would,” Muldrow said. That was the case in a Jan.14 game, against Texas, when Muldrow recorded her first 22­point outing of the season. Her defender that night was rookie Joyner Holmes, who didn’t know quite what make of Muldrow’s skill set. Muldrow canned 4 of 7 3­pointers and was 7­for­13 from the floor overall in the Mountaineers’ 73­63 loss. “Muldrow maybe surprised her a little bit,” said Texas coach Karen Aston, whose No. 12­ranked team hosts WVU at 4 p.m. Sunday, in Austin, Texas. “We had watched film, but when they go live, you have to guard that position and make adjustments and get a feel for it. It took time to mentally adjust to Muldrow. I thought she played really terrific.” Muldrow benefited from Montgomery’s offensive emergence this season. Teams are paying more attention to the 6­5 Montgomery, who averages 12.4 points per game, four more than she averaged a year ago as a junior. Montgomery’s production “means they are going to start sinking in on her,” Muldrow said. “She’s getting the job done down on the block. It’s going to leave the guards and maybe me open for shots.”


Carey: Change coming after embarrassing loss

TODD MURRAY The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — Mike Carey walked out of his press conference after his WVU women’s basketball team’s humiliating 80­55 loss to Iowa State, on Feb. 4, feeling as low as he ever has in his 16­season tenure in Morgantown. “I don’t have the answer for this team,” he said quietly. The defeat sent his Mountaineers (16­7, 4­7 Big 12) tumbling out of the Associated Press rankings. Carey questioned his players’ heart and commitment, harping on selfish play on both ends of the court and an inability to play as a team. Ah, but what a difference two intense practices and 48 hours can make. “It’s amazing,” Carey said Feb. 6, before departing for Norman, Okla., and the Feb. 7 8 p.m. contest, against No. 22 Oklahoma (18­6, 9­3). “If we had played half as hard the night before as we did in practice, we would have won big. “It’s just a shame. They turn it on and off. You are going to be really inconsistent when a team turns it on and off, and that’s what we’re doing.”


WVU guard Tynice Martin didn’t shy away from labeling the Iowa State loss one of the most disappointing setbacks she’s been part of in her two seasons here. “That was a must­win game,” she said. “We didn’t play our best. We weren’t playing good defense and on a night like that anybody can win.” Carey can live with a loss if his team delivers maximum effort for 40 minutes, both offensively and defensively. He can’t abide the type of lackluster performance the Mountaineers put on Saturday. “We didn’t play hard the other night and weren’t ready to play,” he said. “We’re going to be making some changes. You can’t just go status quo and continue to do what they’re doing. I’ve got some things in mind. It’s going to be a lot more demanding.” Asked to elaborate on his changes, Carey said they would focus primarily on “attitude adjustments and appreciating West Virginia University.” “I’m embarrassed of our play,” he said. “I haven’t been embarrassed of our play in years, and I was the other night. That’s my fault. I’ve got to make some changes in everything. We’ll get it fixed. It may take a year or so, but we’ll get people in here who want to go play hard.” Lanay Montgomery, WVU’s senior center and captain, said she and her teammates have not given up the season, which is down to its final seven games. “We have to stick together,” she said. “We have to keep our heads high and keep fighting. We know we can’t get down on ourselves. “It was a terrible loss, but we have another game (tonight) that we have to try to go out and win. I think we practiced very well. We practiced hard, and we communicated well in practice. I think the girls are all sticking together.” When a coach says he’s having a hard time detecting any heart on the floor, that should sting any player worth her competitive salt. “That’s hard,” forward Teana Muldrow said. “We’re known for our defense and being scrappy and playing physical for 40 (minutes). To not see that effort the other night was hard for everyone.” The Mountaineers’ road to an NCAA berth doesn’t get in easier with tonight’s game, against the Sooners. Oklahoma has won eight of its last 11 games and will look to avenge an 83­73 loss, at the Coliseum, on Jan. 8. “Most teams play harder at home than they do away, and Oklahoma is one of those teams,” Carey said. “They’re going to come out and play hard, especially since we beat them the first time. “I’ll be honest with you: We’ll probably play harder. Why? I don’t know.” It’s been that kind of befuddling season for the Mountaineers since conference play began.


Witts Make Major Gift to Women’s Basketball By Russell Luna | February 09, 2017 09:27 AM

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Loyal West Virginia University supporters Byron and Susan Witt have contributed a major gift of $150,000 to the WVU women’s basketball program to help renovate the Mountaineers’ locker room inside the WVU Coliseum. This donation is in addition to another $100,000 the Witts gave to the program in 2014 for women’s basketball facility upgrades in the Basketball Practice Facility and WVU Coliseum. “We are extremely grateful to the Witts for their generous donation to the women’s basketball program,” WVU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Shane Lyons said. “They have been tremendous supporters of WVU Athletics for many years. This donation will help Mike Carey and his program continue to compete and excel at a national level.” The donation will help the program update ╵�ooring, lockers and other items that will give the Mountaineers some of the best accommodations in the Big 12 Conference and nationally. “Byron and Susan Witt have been supporters of our program for more than 30 years,” coach Mike Carey noted. “Their tireless dedication has helped our program grow. This gift will help us continue to elevate our West Virginia University brand, as we continue our goal to reach a Final Four and win a national championship. I would like to say thank you to the Witts for their continued generosity over the years.” The Witts have been staunch supporters of West Virginia University Athletics and in particular the women’s basketball program since the 1980s. They have attended a majority of the Mountaineer women’s basketball home games and have traveled to support the team on multiple occasions. “We have been looking for some way to support the University and wanted to have some control of who it was going to be used by,” Susan Witt said. “We have been followers of the women’s program since the early 1980s. We have been going religiously every year since, so we’ve been through the low and the high times. As supporters of women’s basketball, we decided this was the best decision, so that the funds could help in recruiting and facilities


and make WVU comparable to other top programs across the country. We love Mike Carey and the way he runs the program. We feel that the program is a class act and we want the facility to be a class act.” “I want to pay back the program for all the joy it has brought to us,” Byron Witt added. “It has been great over the years. In the past, there have been many times where it was just parents and us in the gym watching the team play. It is great to see what progress we have made over the years, but it’s still not enough.” Byron Witt was born in Calhoun County, West Virginia, and attended Calhoun County High in Grantsville, before arriving in Morgantown as a freshman at WVU in 1959. He graduated from West Virginia University with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. Witt brie╵�y worked for the University and for a pharmaceutical company in New York before returning to the Mountain State and working for Mylan for 37 years. Witt retired as Mylan’s vice president of global quality in 2007. Susan Witt also is a West Virginia native, born in Preston County. She attended nursing school and worked at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. She ran her own business for several years and raised the family’s two daughters, Christina Rollins and Carrie O’Neil. Witt is an avid artist and athlete who enjoys playing a variety of sports recreationally, including softball. The Witts have two grandsons, Logan Hatch and Brady Hatch. The Witts also are lifetime members of the Mountaineer Athletic Club’s Women’s Basketball Legacy Fund. The couple hope that more Mountaineer enthusiasts will join the Legacy Fund to help raise the pro㕂le of the women’s basketball program and WVU Athletics. “Many people don’t realize that they can earmark funds for a speci㕂c project or sport,” Byron Witt said. “We would like to get the knowledge out there, not only just for the women’s program, but for other programs they choose to support.” By supporting the Women’s Legacy Fund, donors ensure that WVU basketball’s proud tradition will continue well into the future. Women’s Legacy Fund members receive a number of bene㕂ts including coaching sta绎 interaction and an apparel item. In addition, members receive donor recognition and other special bene㕂ts. The Women’s Legacy Fund helps o绎set ever-increasing costs associated with top-╵�ight basketball programs, which includes recruiting. All funds in support of the Women’s Legacy Fund go directly toward ensuring that coach Carey and his sta绎 have the necessary resources to recruit top-tier basketball student-athletes to WVU. Renovations for the women’s basketball WVU Coliseum locker room will take place in the near future. The locker room will be called the Byron and Susan Witt Locker Room.


WVU’s Muldrow eyes wins more than accolades

BY JUSTIN JACKSON The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN — There are two goals for the WVU women’s basketball team Feb. 22, as the Mountaineers get set to host TCU, at 7 p.m. Teana Muldrow is only interested in one. “There is no looking back,” Muldrow said. “Every possession counts. We just need to start racking up some wins.” That is the main goal for a Mountain­eers team (18­9, 6­9 Big 12) that finds itself squarely on the bubble for the NCAA tourney WVU finishes the regular season against three teams — TCU (12­14, 4­11), Oklahoma State and Kansas — that it has already beaten. Finishing with a 9­9 conference record, WVU players feel, would be an element in their favor when the NCAA tournament selection committee looks at their resume. “When we suffered some bad losses earlier in the season, we knew then it was going to hurt our chances to get into the NCAA tournament,” WVU center Lanay Montgomery said. “To be at least .500 in this conference and then maybe win a couple of games in the conference tournament, it would help us out with our NCAA bid.” The second goal is for Muldrow to reach 1,000 career points, something she refused to even think about. “Actually, I had no clue I was getting close,” Muldrow said. “It was shocking to me. I don’t know how many points I need. I don’t want to know. I’m just going to play my game and try to win. I’m not going to focus” on scoring 1,000 points.


A junior from East Orange, N.J., Muldrow is sitting at 995 career points, needing five more to become just the 33rd WVU player to reach the milestone. “I think it’s a huge milestone,” Muldrow said. “It shows you are an offensive threat and that you were being aggressive. You weren’t just standing around and being a part of the team, you actually contributed.” For added measure, Muldrow is also closing in on 600 career rebounds (574) and 150 career assists (147), a sign of how versatile she’s been over her career. “We felt she could play several positions for us,” WVU head coach Mike Carey said. “We felt she could be a stretch­four [power forward]. She started out her freshman year playing on the wing. “We didn’t think we would need her at center, but she’s had to. She’s done a great job. She’s been everything we thought she would be.” Muldrow first came to WVU with the reputation as a shooter. When she was a freshman, the Mountaineers had a number of seniors on the roster and Muldrow’s playing time would have been limited. “We asked her if she would be interested in redshirting and she was,” Carey said. “I think it was very beneficial to her and for us.” Montgomery remembered Muldrow as being shy as a freshman, but the two players have grown close during their careers. “I consider her my little sister for life,” Montgomery said. “We have a great relationship. I think she’s worked so much on her game. “Coach Carey putting here at [power forward] was the best thing that could have happened for her. She’s put the work in.”


Two (or more) wins the task for WVU women in OKC by Michael Minnich Multimedia Sports Writer Mar 1, 2017 (0)

File photo by Stephen Santilli Tynice Martin, named first team all­Big 12 as a sophomore, has had past success against Oklahoma.

MORGANTOWN — It takes two to tango, and that’s the number of wins, at minimum, that West Virginia coach Mike Carey and his players think the Mountaineers need to pick up in the Big 12 tournament to make the NCAAs. “Of course. We have to win at least the first two,” said Tynice Martin, who was named first team All­Big 12. “We’d like to win the whole thing, of course, but one thing at a time.” WVU, the sixth seed after an 8­10 conference mark, faces No. 3 Oklahoma today in the quarterfinals at 9:30 p.m. at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.


The game will air locally on ROOT Sports. The two schools split in the regular season, with WVU winning in Morgantown on Jan. 8, 83­73, and OU taking a double­overtime affair in Norman, 90­87, on Feb. 7. Martin was a focal point in both of those games for West Virginia, finishing with 18 points and 11 rebounds in the home win and 35 points in the road loss. “The third time will be the tiebreaker between us,” Martin said. “Pretty sure they’re going to throw some stuff at us that we haven’t seen before, just to confuse us or slow us down. We’re going to have to play through it.” “She needs to come out from the start and be aggressive,” Carey said of Martin. “It doesn’t matter if you miss 10 shots in a row. You’re still a scorer. Be aggressive. Move without the ball. Go get some offensive rebounds. Come off some picks. “She’s been doing a good job of that, but she needs to do it from the tip­off and not wait until the third quarter or fourth quarter to start playing.” So, based on those regular season games, you have to give WVU a good chance of getting the first of those two wins against the Sooners.


“We’ve got to buckle down, play hard, play good defense,” Martin said. “We have to be smart with the ball and have way less turnovers.” Carey identified several keys that are needed for WVU to make a run in OKC, and it starts with Big 12 honorable mention picks Lanay Montgomery and Teana Muldrow inside. “We cannot go to tournament and have Lanay and Teana sitting on the bench with foul trouble for most of the half. We can’t win that way. We’re not deep enough to do that. We’ve got to be a little bit smarter defensively,” Carey said. “We’ve got to take care of the ball….and you can’t give up second shots. You’ve got to box out.” The second, barring an upset, will have to come against second­seeded Texas on Sunday, and that is less positive news, as the Longhorns won 73­63 in Morgantown and 69­54 in Austin this year. “You’re playing against top teams,” Martin said. “You have to wake up and play hard every game.” “From here on out, it’s one­and­done,” Montgomery said. “Now, there’s a sense of urgency…There’s no tomorrow for us.”

Baylor upset causes ripple effect throughout bracket By Charlie Creme espnW.com

Sometimes the bracket is like a puzzle. One look at the pieces and it appears they don't fit at all. A second glance moments later provides new perspective, and the puzzle makes perfect sense. Each new bracket can have a drastically different look by just changing the order or the shape of the pieces ever so slightly. That's what happened Monday night. The one change ­­ West Virginia's stunning upset of Baylor ­­ gave everything new form. The Lady Bears' loss dropped them to the No. 4 overall team on the board, while South Carolina made the move to No. 3. My initial belief was that the NCAA selection committee still wouldn't move top­seeded Baylor out of the Oklahoma City Regional. Oklahoma City is Big 12 country ­­ the conference tournament was played at the same arena that will host the regional. That regional needs a Big 12 team, right? Despite that mindset, I laid out the bracket with South Carolina in Oklahoma City and shifted Baylor to the Stockton Regional. It's a flight for either school to either location, so attendance is the only reason to try to keep Baylor in OKC. The result: a better, more balanced bracket ­­ and Texas as the No. 3 seed in the Oklahoma City Regional, giving it a Big 12 team after all. Due to bracketing principles and procedures, there was no way to get a competitively balanced bracket among the top four seeds with Baylor in OKC. With the Lady Bears in Stockton it's much more balanced ­­ and it's important to consider this scenario moving forward. The ripple effect of West Virginia's win continued during the placing of teams. The Mountaineers finished the regular season as one of the last teams in the tournament field. Even as late as the final weekend of February they were among the First Four Out. Their Big 12 tournament run changed all that. West Virginia, the No. 6 seed in the Big 12 tournament, beat each of the top three seeds (Baylor, Texas, Oklahoma) on the way to its first Big 12 championship, skyrocketing up the bracket. The Mountaineers made it all the way to a No. 7 seed. And the news got even better: With Stanford elevating to a No. 2 seed but unable to host because of a venue conflict at Maples Pavilion, the No. 7 seed in the pod then gets


to host. Guess what? The way the bracket lays out ­­ and with some attendance considerations ­­ the No. 7 seed in this part of the bracket becomes West Virginia. In just a little over a week, the Mountaineers went from being left out of the tournament to potentially hosting two NCAA tournament games. There's no better Sophomore Tynice Martin (No. 5), who scored 32 points and was the tournament's most outstanding example than player, helped West Virginia win its first conference tournament title since 1989. West Virginia's story of what a hot finish, some luck, and the domino effect of slight shifts in the bracketing can do for a team.


WVU wins Big 12 title with blowout of Baylor

BY MICHAEL KINNEY For The Dominion Post

OKLAHOMA CITY — It was supposed to be just a formality for No. 2 Baylor. After winning six­consecutive Big 12 Tournament championships, there was no reason to believe the Bears weren’t going to get their seventh. However, the unheralded WVU women’s basketball team decided it wasn’t going to go out without a fight. After eating two ranked teams just to get to the finals, the Mountaineers were confident they could play with the highly favored Bears. However, WVU did more than that. Led by Tynice Martin, the Mountaineers knocked off Baylor, 77­66, in the Big 12 Championship on March 6, at Chesapeake Energy Arena. The victory earned them an automatic spot in the NCAA tournament, one week after they were uncertain whether they would even get invited. “I have no words. We came up here ready to fight,” Martin said. “And we proved it.” Martin scored 32 points on 8 of 19 shooting. She also racked up five rebounds and four assists on her way to being named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. “Seeing my mother upstairs cheering really helped me a lot,” Martin said as she shed a few tears. “I’m glad they could experience this.” After trailing by 21 points, Baylor cut the deficit to 14 midway through the fourth quarter. The Bears’ Nina Davis made a layup in traffic and WVU only led, 68­56.


The Bears got the ball back and Kalani Brown was fouled. She hit both free throws and Baylor was within 10 with 4:34 left in the game. Martin connected on a jumper to break the momentum, but Davis was fouled and made 1 of 2 from the line. West Virginia (23­10) turned the ball over again and Brown made them pay with an easy bucket in the paint. She scored again and WVU’s lead was down to seven. The Mountaineers had gotten frazzled by the fullcourt defense Baylor employed. Even though WVU was unable to score on its next possession, they took almost a minute off the clock. Baylor gave the ball right back on a turnover and a technical was called on Kristy Wallace. Chania Ray made 1 of 2 from the line. Leading 71­63, WVU’s Lanay Montgomery went to the free throw line and missed both attempts. Baylor got the rebound and attempted a 3­pointer. It was off the mark and Martin got the loose ball. Martin hit 1 of 2 from the free throw line before Wallace knocked in a 3­pointer. Baylor trailed 72­66 with 28 seconds on the clock. The Bears (30­3) sent Martin back to the foul line and she once again made 1 of 2 free throw attempts. But that was all the Mountaineers needed to hold on for the victory. Baylor had four players score in double figures. Brown led the charge with 19 and Wallace added 17. Teana Muldrow posted 15 points and grabbed nine boards for West Virginia. Katrina Pardee chipped in 11 points. “Give Baylor a lot of credit,” WVU coach Mike Carey said. “They won the regular season and are a first class act. Secondly, I am so proud of these young ladies.” Martin came out firing for the Mountaineers to start the night. She drained a pair of 3­pointers in the first few minutes to set the tone. This forced Baylor to try and play tighter defense on the sophomore. Martin had the Bears frustrated as she scored 11 points in the first quarter to give WVU a 22­14 advantage. The long distance shots kept flying for the Mountaineers in the second quarter. Pardee joined in the fun and hit 3 of 4 in the first half. The Mountaineers pushed its lead to 13 before taking a 39­30 advantage into halftime. The Bears tried to fight their way back into the game behind Wallace and Alexis Prince. They were the only players for Baylor who were able to consistently score. The Bears had no answer for Martin or Muldrow. Muldrow drained a 3­pointer right as the third quarter ended to give the Mountaineers a 65­44 lead heading into the fourth. “In basketball, I learned that offense wins games and defense wins championships,” Martin said. “We defiantly proved that today.”

finale, and after losing to Oklahoma State (17­14, 6­ 12 Big 12) in the

penultimate game of the regular season, it didn't seem likely that his team would cross those hurdles. But as an insurance policy, Carey threw in an extra dress shirt to wear should his team, which entered the conference tournament squarely on the NCAA tournament bubble, beat the long odds. As it turns out, Carey was on the sideline at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Monday night in one of his two suits and the just­in­case shirt as the Mountaineers upset No. 1 Baylor 77­66 for their first ever Big 12 title and the team's first conference title since 1989 when it was in the Atlantic 10. “They knew coming down here that we had to win at least one, two games,” Carey said. “And I told ‘em after the second game, hell, we might as well win the third one since we're here.” Electric sophomore Tynice Martin, named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, continued to be the engine that made the Mountaineers go, scoring 32 points — barely off of her career high of 35 points set against Oklahoma earlier this season. After draining a 3­pointer in the first quarter, Martin turned to the bench and stuck out her tongue in celebration, channeling all the swagger of a certain NBA point guard who's pretty familiar with exuberant celebrations at the Peake. She nailed 3 of 4 long­distance attempts in the first quarter and finished the opening period with 11 points.

And when Martin, who scored 82 total points in West Virginia's three tournament wins, temporarily ran out of steam late in the second quarter, her teammates were right there to pick up where she left off, stretching the lead from five points to 10 in the closing minutes of the period. She found her steam again in the second half and hit key shots down the stretch, including a couple of free throws in the final minute, and she grabbed a key rebound as Alexis Prince (15 points) missed a 3­pointer with 15 seconds left. “Very few times in 31 years of coaching, can I ever think of one player that took her team on her shoulders and won three games and Tynice Martin did that,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. “She did it in every game here. She just elevated over people and made shots.” But even with Martin's stellar play complimented by Teana Muldrow's 15 points and Katrina Pardee's three triples, the Lady Bears came storming back in the fourth quarter to whittle WVU's once 20­point lead to just six. As Baylor (30­3) began chipping into his team's lead, Carey's tie swung furiously with every yell imploring his team to keep fighting through Baylor's stifling press and zone defense. West Virginia held on through Baylor's comeback thanks to their monster lead, despite multiple empty possessions late in the game. “The last five minutes, I took a couple of timeouts because I could tell we were about out of gas,” Carey said. “Instead of attacking their press and attacking their zone, we were just getting some bad shots and weren't getting to the rim.” This was supposed to be Baylor's warm up to the NCAA tournament, a chance for the Lady Bears to get used to the venue where they'd likely end up in the Sweet Sixteen. Instead, it was 40­minute nightmare as self­ inflicted wounds late in the game compounded by West Virginia's gritty play resulted in Baylor's worst — and only third — loss of the season. On paper, West Virginia (23­10) wasn't supposed to get this far. Not only were they playing 1,120 miles away from home, they had to get through the hometown team and another team with a strong fan base just a short drive away. They entered the conference tournament as the improbable outsiders, yet from the opening tip of the Oklahoma game Saturday night, the Mountaineers proved they deserved to be there and that they were worthy of becoming the conference tournament champion. “We're so far from Morgantown, West Virginia,” Carey said. “We don't get a lot of fans here, but you know what? The fans we did have here were really appreciated it — and I can hear 'em.

West Virginia peaks at right time, knocks off perennial power Baylor for Big 12 title By Mechelle Voepel espnW.com

OKLAHOMA CITY ­­ There wasn't a bigger upset in the Power 5 women's basketball conference tournaments than No. 6 seed West Virginia's 77­66 victory over Baylor on Monday in the Big 12 title game. You'd be hard­pressed to find a bigger one in the history of the Big 12 final, which dates to 1997. The only one that matches this came in 2004, when No. 6 seed Oklahoma beat No. 1 Texas. Back then, there really were 12 teams in the Big 12 ­­ now there are 10 ­­ so the Sooners had to play four games to get their title, while West Virginia played three. But both beat the top three seeds to do so. It's fair to say no one was expecting this. West Virginia went 8­10 in the Big 12 and was 4­4 in February. But the Mountaineers are 3­0 in March and 23­10 overall, and they won an NCAA tournament automatic berth. "We had to peak now, or we wouldn't be going to the tournament," West Virginia coach Mike Carey said, adding that he was optimistic enough about the Mountaineers' sticking around that he brought three shirts to the Big 12 tournament. "But only two suits," he said, grinning. "At least I didn't have to go to the cleaners on this trip." Despite the loss, Baylor is still almost certain to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Lady Bears are 30­3, and the teams that might have overtaken them ­­ Mississippi State (SEC) and Oregon State (Pac­12) ­­ also lost their league tournament finals. Baylor has to be concerned about two things: The Lady Bears played somewhat lethargically in the first quarter, which put them in a hole they never got out of, and didn't have an answer for how to deal with a dynamic guard such as West Virginia's Tynice Martin. That's troubling if they encounter someone similar to her again, especially if Baylor senior guard Alexis Jones, who has been out since Feb. 20 with a bone bruise, is unavailable. "She worked out today," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said of Jones, who averages 13.9 points and 4.9 rebounds and is valuable for her perimeter defense. "She was on the floor with the ball and says her knee is feeling better. "I'm hoping we have done the right thing by [letting] her rest until the most important part, and that's the NCAA tournament. I hope she can give us valuable time during the tournament." Martin, who scored 32 points Monday and 82 in the three games and was named tournament MVP, is just a sophomore. "Very few times in 31 years of coaching can I think of one player who took her team on her shoulders and won three games," Mulkey said. "Tynice Martin did that." The Mountaineers are 11­1 this season when Martin scores at least 20 points. The Big 12 freshman of the year last season, Martin was the heir apparent to the void left by West Virginia's Bria Holmes, who finished her


college career last season and is now with the WNBA's Atlanta Dream. "She has a great 3­point shot and a great midrange shot," Carey said of Martin. "Now she has to figure out how to attack the rim. She can't just jump over people in college like she did in high school. She has to learn how to get around secondary defense and finish. Once she does that ­­ whew, she's going to be really, really good." Martin is from Atlanta. Carey said the Mountaineers formed a strong connection with her and her family ­­ her father, Terry Martin, played hoops at Auburn ­­ and that's how she ended up in Morgantown, West Virginia. Recruiting, though, is one of the many things that had to change for West Virginia with the move to the Big 12 in 2012­13.

Sophomore guard Tynice Martin, named the tournament's most outstanding player, scored 32 points in the Big 12 championship game.

"We tried to start going more Midwest and Texas a little bit," Carey said. "But of course, there's a lot of schools between us and those places. So we've kind of gone back to East Coast, for now, and we've had some success there." The conference realignments of the past decade created some "orphans" ­­ schools far, far away from the heartbeat of their conferences. Perhaps no school feels that more than West Virginia. The Mountaineers' closest conference foe is Iowa State, about 840 miles away. Morgantown is 1,216 miles from Irving, Texas, where the Big 12 office is. On Monday, the Mountaineers were playing the Big 12 final in Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, 1,118 miles from their home gym, WVU Coliseum. Admittedly, when the Mountaineers were in the Big East ­­ from 1995­96 to 2011­12 ­­ the league tournament wasn't around the corner, either. It was about 500 miles away when the event was in Connecticut and 350 when it was in New Jersey. Still, that's a lot closer than now. Plus, the Mountaineers used to have practically a next­ door neighbor as a conference rival, with Pittsburgh 75 miles to the north. But the Big 12 is the Mountaineers' home now. If it means they don't have a huge number of fans who can come to the Big 12 tournament or league road games, then that's just the way it is. "I don't want any of our players or staff to ever use that as an excuse," Carey said. "We've just got to play that way." “


Very few times in 31 years of coaching can I think of one player who took her team on her shoulders and won three games. Tynice Martin did that. ”­ Baylor coach Kim Mulkey Carey's pragmatic approach to things is something Mulkey said she admires. As disappointed as she was to lose Monday, she said she was happy for Carey. "Mike and I talk the same language. He's not petty ­­ he just wants to coach," Mulkey said. "He's not into who his best friends are. I just enjoy visiting with him. I think he teaches man­to­man defense as good as anybody I've ever coached against, and I just love that." Whether Mulkey meant her compliment for Carey to double as a jab at anyone else is up for speculation. Since her controversial remarks on Feb. 25 after Baylor clinched the Big 12 regular­season title ­­ comments she subsequently apologized for ­­ Mulkey might feel that all her words are being overly scrutinized. When asked if she were happy about the resolve her players showed to cut West Virginia's lead to four late in the game, Mulkey said, "I expected them to ... well, I better use a better word than 'fight.' I expected them to play hard. That's all we know. They didn't just sit back and feel sorry for themselves." Still, Mulkey was disappointed that the Lady Bears as a group didn't show that effort from the start and indicated that certain players ­­ she didn't say exactly who ­­ didn't play up to their potential on Monday. "Some people need to do some soul­searching on our bench when they go into a game," Mulkey said. "Is the moment too big for you?" Baylor will enter the NCAA tournament off a loss for the first time since 2010; the Lady Bears had won the past six Big 12 tourney titles. West Virginia ­­ which, as Carey said, came to Oklahoma City unsure of even playing in the Big Dance ­­ now goes in with a full head of steam. West Virginia had won just one conference tournament before, in 1989, when the Mountaineers were in the Atlantic 10 and still coached by Kittie Blakemore, who founded West Virginia's program in 1973. Carey took over the program in the 2001­02 season and now will go to the NCAA tournament for the 10th time. "There are no pro teams in our state, so there's a lot of pride in the Mountaineers in West Virginia," Carey said. "We don't get a lot of fans here [in Oklahoma City], but you know what? The fans we had here we really appreciate. When the game was over, they were singing 'Country Roads,' and that's all that mattered."


Big 12 champs! WVU topples No. 2 Baylor in final, 77­66 by Bob Hertzel For the Exponent Telegram Mar 6, 2017 (0)

AP photo West Virginia’s Chania Ray (12), Tynice Martin (5) and Teana Muldrow (11) run off the court after defeating No. 2 Baylor on Monday in the Big 12 Conference Tournament title game in Oklahoma City. Martin scored 33 points against the Bears and 83 in the tournament to garner most valuable player honors.

MORGANTOWN — West Virginia rode Tynice Martin to a huge lead over No. 2 Baylor, then withstood a fourth­quarter rally by the Bears to win the Big 12 Women’s Basketball Tournament, 77­66, to go from a bubble team to possessor of an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. WVU’s women’s program last won a conference championship in 1989 when they won the Atantic 10. To win the tournament they had to beat three ranked teams: No. 19 Oklahoma, No. 12/14 Texas and No. 2 Baylor.


Martin was named the most valuable player in the tournament after scoring 33 points in the final to go with 21 against Oklahoma and 29 against Texas as she dominated the tournament. “I can’t tell you there’s a lot of suspense around the award,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said on making the announcement. “I have no words, honestly,” Martin said. “We came up here ready to fight and we proved it. The coaches stood by us because no one else believed in us.” Martin was joined on the All­Tournament team by Teana Muldrow and three Baylor players: Kristy Wallace, Nina Davis and Kalani Prince. Martin hit 8­of­19 field goals, 4­of­9 from 3, added 12­of­15 free throws and threw in four assists, but she had a lot of help as Muldrow scored 15 points with nine rebounds, Katrina Pardee scored 11 points, point guard Chania Ray had eight assists and center Lanay Montgomery scored six points with seven rebounds. “I’m so proud of these young ladies,” WVU coach Mike Carey said. “We didn’t have a newspaper or TV station here. We stuck together and believed in ourselves. They bought into defense as the year went on.” Martin came into the game off that 29­point outburst against Texas in the semifinal and she had her mind made up that the Big 12 championship was going to go through her. The Bears took an early 7­4 lead and were hoping to widen it before Martin said enough is enough, this is my floor, hitting a 3 to tie the game at 7­7 and by the time the half came around she was on the doorstep of a 20­point game with 19 points.


Baylor had no idea what to do with her. She’d hit from 3, make drives and yet was doing it while passing the ball when covered.

The score was tied at 12­12 when the flow changed completely. Pardee, coming off a pair of consecutive 13­point games, kept her hot hand and hit a go­ahead 3, and after Nina Davis scored a basket to cut it to 15­14, Martin hit a pair of free throws, Muldrow scored on a drive to the basket and Martin wrapped up the first quarter with a 3 to make it 22­14. Alexis Prince worked her way into a hot hand in the second quarter, scoring eight straight points for Baylor as they narrowed the margin to 27­24 but the Mountaineers weren’t impressed, as they went back on the offensive. With Martin leading the way, they ran off 10 consecutive points, starting with a free thrown from Martin, then a 3 from Pardee, who went into halftime with nine points on three 3s, then another 3 from Ray off a slick assist from Martin. Martin then closed out her half with a traditional 3­point play, drawing a foul from Prince, allowing Carey to take his team into the locker room ahead, 39­30. WVU came out intent on keeping Baylor back on its heels in the second half, Martin going past 20 points by hitting a 3 between scores from Lanay Montgomery and Pardee as the lead grew. That forced Baylor coach Kim Mulkey, clearly perplexed, to call a timeout and try and patch the leak. But WVU wasn’t having any of it, continuing to pound away, stretching its lead to a game­high 21 points at 65­44 entering the fourth quarter.


West Virginia went into a slow­down game in the fourth quarter and Baylor turned frantic, cutting the lead as low as seven points, but could not make it all the way.

Tynice Martin moves around Kansas' Jayde Christopher during the last regular season home game. Martin put up 17 points against the Jayhawks and led her team to a 73-54 victory.

From the “bubble” to the Big Dance. The West Virginia University women’s basketball team locked up an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament after defeating No. 2 Baylor 77-66 to win the program’s first Big 12 Conference Tournament Championship. The Mountaineers (23-10, 8-10 Big 12), a team that has struggled with depth issues all season, overcame adversity and fatigue to win three games in three days to secure the title. They defeated No. 19 Oklahoma 82-58 in the quarterfinal, No. 12 Texas 62-59 in the semifinal and finally the Lady Bears in the final. “They knew coming down here that we had to win at least one, two games; and I told them after the second game, hell, we might as well win the third one since we're here,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “And they came out and played extremely hard and continued to play defense the whole time.” Sophomore guard Tynice Martin was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player after averaging 27.3 points per game during WVU’s championship run. She finished with 32 points, five rebounds and four assists to lead the Mountaineers against Baylor. “Coming into the tournament, we had a lot of confidence,” Martin said. “Like Coach said, we had great practices and we had good energy…I could tell from the Oklahoma game that we came here to win, and we had to do it for (senior) Lanay (Montgomery). I wanted to send Lanay out with a championship, and that's what we did.” Forward Teana Muldrow continued her late season surge into the conference tournament and was named to the All-Tournament team along with Martin. Muldrow averaged 14.7 points per game in the tournament to go along with 8.3 rebounds per game. WVU led for most of the game, and by the end of the third quarter, built a 21-point lead over the No. 2 team in the nation. But, unsurprisingly, the Lady Bears staged a run, and at one point late in the fourth quarter had cut the deficit to six, but the Mountaineers remained calm and hit their free throws to seal the deal. “I thought the last 5 minutes of (the second half) we played not to lose instead of playing to win, but, you know, we were able to hold on and get the victory,” Carey said. Baylor finished with a higher field-goal percentage than WVU, shooting 46 percent compared to 38 percent. Scoring from beyond the arc was key for the Mountaineers, as WVU hit 11 threes to Baylor’s four. But, ultimately, WVU’s efforts on the defensive end willed them on to victory. The Lady Bears came into Monday night averaging 89.2 points per game, second-best nationally, and the Mountaineers held them to 66 points, 23 points below their scoring average. “I just think that we wanted to defend,” Muldrow said. “Playing basketball, I learned that offense is great, but defense wins championships and we bought into defense and we knew it was going to be the key. Scoring is not the problem for us. It is just sticking with defense and having each other's backs. I think we did that well this tournament.”

“They knew coming down here that we had to win at least one, two games; and I told them after the second game, hell, we might as well win the third one since we're here." – WVU head coach Mike Carey.

The Mountaineers turned a 7-10 slide into a Big 12 Tournament win.

Women's basketball: For West Virginia, Big 12 title was mind over matter The Charleston Gazette Last Updated - Mar 8, 2017 16:17 EST Contact | Archive | RSS

The West Virginia women's basketball team went from limping into the Big 12 tournament to marching out of Oklahoma City back to Morgantown on Tuesday holding aloft the tournament's championship trophy. An automatic NCAA tournament bid was in its possession. The key to that turnaround, from a 7-10 finish to the regular season to knocking off three straight ranked team's for WVU's first women's hoops title? According to the Mountaineers, it was a matter of the mind. WVU, which entered the tournament at 20-10 but started the season at 13-0, figured it was an NCAA tournament bubble team, a group that had fallen from the ranks of the national top 25 and needed at least one win, maybe two, to earn an NCAA berth. The Mountaineers decided that two wins wasn't enough. They wanted to guarantee themselves an NCAA tournament seeding. "I think we just came down here and our minds were set," senior Lanay Montgomery said after WVU's 77-66 win over Baylor in the conference championship game. "The girls knew it was all or nothing. Our backs were against the wall and we just had to give it our all. We came out and played strong, tough and physical for three games."


WVU coach Mike Carey could tell something was different with the team even before it traveled to Oklahoma City. Pre-tournament practices in Morgantown looked good, and practices at the tournament site looked even better. "They were focused and you could just see it in their body language," Carey said. "I said in here after the Oklahoma game, I had to shut down our shootaround because they were just so focused and going so hard, we needed some energy for the game." There were no worries about lost energy against the Sooners. WVU blitzed No. 19 Oklahoma 82-58. Then came No. 12 Texas and a 62-59 win in holding off the Longhorns. Against No. 2 Baylor in the championship, West Virginia led by as many as 21 before the Bears tried to rally in the fourth quarter. Tournament Most Outstanding Player Tynice Martin helped keep the Bears at bay, hitting 4 of 6 free throws down the stretch as part of her 32 points Monday night, a Big 12 championship game record. Her 27.3 points per game for the tournament was the third-highest in the tournament's history. Carey said Martin, who now leads the league at 18.6 points per game, always has been a scorer for the Mountaineers, but she has improved her game even more during this season. "Once she learned how to start moving without the basketball and attacking the rim, good things happened for her," Carey said. "Our players, you got to give our players a lot of credit, because, man, they looked for her in this tournament. They really looked for her. When she broke open she had the ball and that's the key." Martin said she was just trying to match the energy she saw in her teammates right before and during the Big 12 tournament. As much as the Mountaineers struggled down the regular-season stretch, they ďŹ red on all cylinders in their ďŹ rst steps into the postseason.


"It was just different from the regular season," Martin said. "Everybody was playing hard. I could tell from the Oklahoma game that we came here to win."

Martin Shines In WVU Women’s Tourney Run

MORGANTOWN — When the Big 12 Women’s Basketball Tournament started on Wednesday at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City (OK) No. 2 ranked, and defending champion, Baylor was the favorite to take home the championship trophy. Texas’ Karen Aston and junior guard Brooke McCarty were the league’s Coach and Player of the Year respectively.


But, when the confetti 祇nally fell just before midnight on Monday, it was veteran West Virginia University coach Mike Carey and his Mountaineers that were cutting down the nets and holding up the championship trophy while the consensus Most Outstanding Player of the tournament wore Old Gold and Blue – sophomore Tynice Martin.

“It’s all still surreal,” Martin said following her 32-point performance in WVU’s 77-66 win over the Bears. “It really hasn’t sunk in.” Something that still hadn’t occurred by the time the team returned to Morgantown on Tuesday.

“I haven’t slept much,” Martin said. “When we met for breakfast the (championship) trophy was there at our table.” And, the sophomore had one other clue – the Most Outstanding Player trophy.

“Yea, I saw that (the trophy) when I woke and it (the memories) of last night started coming back. It’s just so exciting. It was just such a good experience.” Not only for the Atlanta, Georgia native, but for the entire Mountaineer team and program.

“I knew coming into the tournament that we could go 3-0, we just had to focus,” Martin said. “In all three games we brought energy and we played defense. We did everything we needed to do to win the game.” Still, the path to Monday night’s title game was not an easy one. First, the Old Gold and Blue would have to get past a No. 19 ranked Oklahoma team which had dealt it a 90-87 double overtime loss back on Feb. 7. Then, Carey’s 16th Mountaineer squad would need to get past a No. 12 Texas program with the aforementioned POY McCarty.

“The win over Oklahoma gave us con祇dence to take on Texas,” Martin said. “Then, the win over Texas gave us the con祇dence to take on Baylor.” But, con祇dence isn’t always enough. Especially, when you are taking on a Baylor squad which has owned the Big 12 title over the past 祇ve years and owned an 11-2


series advantage against WVU.

“Give all of the credit to Baylor,” said Carey following the game. “We were fortunate to beat a great team. We believed in ourselves and what we could do. They (the players) did a great job of buying into our defense and that made the di⛸erence this weekend.” And, no one had an answer for Martin. Following her 21-point performance in WVU’s 82-58 victory over the Sooners, Martin exploded for 29 points against a Longhorn team which had dealt the Mountaineers a pair of setbacks during the regular season. Those earlier losses, however, meant nothing to the daughter of Terry Martin and Trenisha Burnett as she made good on 10-of-21 shots from the 뗇�oor (4-of-10 on 3s) and all 祇ve of her free throws as West Virginia advanced to its second Big 12 title game with a 62-59 win. But, Martin was far from 祇nished. Playing in the same arena where Oklahoma City Thunder standout Russell Westbrook made triple-doubles look like a walk in the park, West Virginia’s super sophomore made a shambles of a Baylor defense that attempted everything to keep her o⛸ of the scoreboard. West Virginia became only the second program in league history to capture the tournament title as a No. 6 seed and earned the Big 12’s automatic berth in the upcoming NCAA tournament where it is expected to receive a No. 7 or No. 8 seed.

“It really doesn’t matter to us,” Martin said. “As long as we stay focused and continue to play with con祇dence, we believe we can play with anybody.”

Mountaineer Mentality Helped WVU Claim Title By Russell Luna | March 10, 2017 04:35 PM

Big 12 Championship Website After hoisting the Big 12 Tournament trophy in Oklahoma City on Monday evening, the West Virginia University women’s basketball had sent a message loud and clear – this team was focused and could beat anyone, on any given day. The Mountaineers achieved a feat that only one other Big 12 team had been able to do since the league began in 1997. As a No. 6­seed, the Mountaineers joined the 2004 Oklahoma squad, as the only other sixth­seeded team to win the league crown. WVU knocked off a Baylor team that had previously won 20 consecutive conference tournament games – the longest active winning streak among men’s or women’s basketball at the time. But even more impressive was the road to get the title game, WVU entered the tournament a combined 1­5 against Oklahoma, Texas and Baylor. Yet, the Mountaineers handled No. 19 Oklahoma (82­58), No. 12/14 Texas (62­59) and then capped off the magical journey with a 77­66 victory the No. 2­ranked Lady Bears. It’s a true testament to the team’s character that suffered from preseason injuries and lulls during the conference season. Therefore, expectations, at least from the outside, were relatively low entering the Phillips Big 12 Championship last weekend. But true to the team’s “Family” slogan, the Mountaineers always believed in themselves and had developed a great working relationship together all the way back in early July. Finding Comfort in Helping Others It was June when senior center Lanay Montgomery turned on the news and saw that a flood was ravaging the southern part of the state. She saw that 23 people had unfortunately lost their lives and many others had lost their homes and possessions. It was then that Montgomery decided she would be proactive and get involved to help those who have supported her throughout the years. “When the flooding happened, I saw on the news how bad it was. Over the course of the week, I saw the death toll go up and the devastation the victims faced,” explained Montgomery. “I told my teammates to buy three things that those affected by the floods really needed and we were going to figure out how to get the supplies to them. All of the girls were very willing to assist and bought more than the three items I had recommended.” But that wasn’t enough. Montgomery and her teammates wanted to give back. They wanted to volunteer and assist in the cleanup efforts. “Coach (Mike) Carey said that when we go down there, it wasn’t going to be about giving out hugs and water and we were really going to do something” Montgomery said. When the team first arrived on hot muggy day in Rainelle, West Virginia, the devastation seen on the news became reality. “We went down there and it was awful. It was eye­opening,” Montgomery noted. “We had read some articles and seen some news clips, but it’s different when you see the damage and all of the pain it causes people. Some people…they lost


everything. When we drove through the town it was almost like a ghost town almost. You could feel the sadness in the air. You had this feeling come on to you about how they were feeling. It was really terrible.” Then the Mountaineers went full speed into the cleanup efforts. First, half of the team assisted with cleaning out a shed and taking out a few items from an elderly woman’s home. Then they all headed down the street to Jack and Janice Redden’s home. It was there with “Mr. Jack”, as the Mountaineers would eventually call him, sat outside stoically looking on as the Mountaineers began to take out walls, flooring and items in the bathroom and kitchens. At first, it was a little chaotic, but the team, staff members and friendly neighbors eventually coordinated and broke down and removed all of the items needed to be finished in a span of six hours. It was a lot of hard laborious work that is not like lifting the team was used it. It was old fashioned hard work – teamwork. “We didn’t put them in groups,” coach Mike Carey explained. “They did that themselves. Two or three went to a room was taking the floor out. One was hammering, one was getting the nails and another was holding the crow bar. They did a great job and worked extremely hard. I felt at that time this team was had bonded pretty well.” That July day in Rainelle gave the Mountaineers something no one could ever take away from them. It humbled the team, gave them an appreciation for things given to them and gave them a motivation. An inspiration to not only play for Mr. Jack, but to play for all of those in the Mountain State and Mountaineers across the nation and globe. “I thought our players realized some people are in worse shape than they are and things happen that you can’t control,” Carey said. “I was really pleased that our players went down there and understood that and understood the situation and worked extremely hard. They didn’t think about themselves, they thought about the families down there. It just shows how unselfish that our players hard.” “We’re kind of like a pro team for West Virginia and that’s where we come into play,” Montgomery said. “That’s what players should do. People look up to us. You are not just doing it for the greater good of yourself, but the greater good for the people who support you.” Eventually, a few months would pass and West Virginia would continue that support. The Mountaineers played an exhibition game in Clarksburg. More than 2,100 fans packed Robert C. Byrd to not only cheer on the Old Gold and Blue, but to help collect funds for those in the southern part of the state. Just another reason for the Mountaineers to help those who needed it the most. Regular Season Flash forward to the regular season. Before the season even began WVU lost three players to season­ending knee injuries (Aisha Edwards, Krystaline McCune and Nia Staples). The Mountaineers finished the nonconference slate a perfect 12­0 record and opened Big 12 play with a dominating 83­61 win over TCU. The Mountaineers were ranked No. 12 in the country. However, West Virginia would drop eight of its next 11 games falling to 4­8 in league play. The Mountaineers did pick up Top 25 wins over No. 19 Oklahoma and No. 24 Kansas State, but two losses to Iowa State couple with setback defeats at Texas Tech and Oklahoma State clearly had this team on the bubble. Talent from last year’s team was there, despite losses of WNBA rookie Bria Holmes and veterans Jessica Morton and Arielle Roberson. WVU had key players returning in Montgomery, Alexis Brewer, Tynice Martin, Teana Muldrow, Katrina Pardee and Chania Ray just to name a few. “I just think it took us a while for everyone to accept their role,” Carey explained. “When we had Bria Holmes, she was our go­to person. Not everybody wants to be the defensive person, the picker or the passer. They all want to be the scorer. I think at times we weren’t mentally tough. When we got tired, we just went through the motions. I was most frustrated about the effort and the lack of focus when the game was on the line.” “We had terrible games in the regular season,” said sophomore guard Tynice Martin. “We proved we could beat teams that were ranked. We need to believe in ourselves. But when you lose that many back­to­back games in the regular season, it lowers your confidence. We had to let it go and move forward.” Big 12 Champions


West Virginia knew that it would need to win at least one, if not two, games to at least ensure itself a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the 12th time in school history and the 10th time under Carey. By the time the sixth­seeded Mountaineers had reached their quarterfinal matchup with No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday, the path was clear. One win and you’re probably in. Two victories and you’re certainly in. Destined and determined, the Mountaineers opened the contest with a 12­0 run and never let the Sooners trim the game to single digits after the first quarter. Martin finished with 21 points, while her teammate Teana Muldrow poured in 19 points and eight rebounds. It was a clear, decisive victory that would send the NCAA selection committee a notice that West Virginia did indeed belong in the “Big Dance.” “I knew we were going to be ready to play,” said Carey. “Our shootaround earlier today was probably the best shootaround we had all year. They were focused, a lot of energy. In fact I had to cut it down because they were going too hard, so we just cut things down.” No. 2­seed Texas proved to be up to the challenge. The Longhorns entered the tournament losing three of its last four and wanted to prove they were ready for the NCAA Tournament slate ahead. Sunday’s contest saw three ties and nine lead changes. A three­pointer by UT’s Ariel Atkins with 5:23 gave Texas the 51­50 lead. Martin followed with jumper and was fouled to connect the and­one which would eventually give WVU the game­winning bucket and its second consecutive upset of the tourney. “We proved we could do it,” said Martin. “Nobody thought that we would be here, but we’re here.” West Virginia entered Monday’s championship game as heavy underdogs. Baylor had been dominant all season entering the contest with a 30­2 record with its only blemishes to top­ranked Connecticut and Texas. It seemed as though the Mountaineers improbable run would probably be halted by the Lady Bears. But again, like earlier games in the tourney, the Mountaineers jumped out early and led by nine, 39­30, at halftime. WVU outscored Baylor, 26­14, in the third quarter and ballooned its lead to 21 points. However, BU never quit and soon trimmed the game to as low as six points in the final minute. But as she had done all weekend, Martin made three free throws followed by Brewer’s final two free throw makes to seal the win. The victory gave West Virginia its conference title since 1989 and its first since joining the Big 12. “Needless, to say this past weekend was what I was most impressed with,” Carey said. “The focus and effort when they were tired. It went full circle. I was so proud of our team because the focus and the effort.” “Playing basketball I learned that offense is great, but defense wins championships and we bought into defense and we knew it was going to be the key,” Muldrow, a Big 12 All­Tournament Team selection, said. “Scoring is not the problem for us. It is just sticking with defense and having each other's backs. I think we did that well this tournament.” Carey summed it up best as the team celebrated jubilantly on the floor of the Chesapeake Energy Arena. “We don't get a lot of fans here, but you know what? The fans we did have here we really appreciate it and I can hear 'em, and when the game was over they were singing "Country Roads" and that's all that mattered, that we heard that song we end,” he said. “This was a great experience to share with the state of West Virginia and to the people we met in July," said Martin. "(The Redden family) was a part of us and our journey. He (Mr. Jack) is a part of our family now and the other folks that we helped or met when we were in Rainelle.” Montgomery, the senior captain from Pittsburgh, summed it up best – the attitude all Mountaineers have. The belief in each other when everyone else doubts you. “Our backs were against the wall and we had to give it our all. I think we came out and played strong, tough and physical for three games.”


There's more to women's NCAA tournament than UConn By Mechelle Voepel espnW.com

Tynice Martin got a little choked up after her West Virginia team won the Big 12 women's basketball tournament a week ago in Oklahoma City. It had been an amazing three days for the Mountaineers, who entered the event needing a big run after going 8­10 in league play. And it was extra emotional for tournament MVP Martin, a Tynice Martin and West Virginia had one of the biggest upsets ­­ and best runs ­­ of Champ Week. sophomore guard whose Atlanta­based family doesn't get to see her play in person often, but was in Oklahoma to watch her soar. The Mountaineers' climb to the Big 12 automatic berth, ending Baylor's six­year reign as tournament champ, is just one of the interesting stories going into Selection Monday (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET). There is no drama about the No. 1 overall seed. UConn is on a 107­game winning streak and seeking its fifth consecutive, and 12th overall, NCAA title. You'll be hearing plenty about the Huskies, who lost their best players from last season as the first three picks in the 2016 WNBA draft ­­ yet remain on top of the women's hoops world. The other No. 1 seeds project to be familiar faces, too: ACC champ Notre Dame, SEC champ South Carolina and Baylor, which won the Big 12 regular­season title but then ran into the aforementioned Morgantown Express in the league final. In the women's NCAA tournament, the top­16 seeds host the early rounds, provided they don't have a facility conflict. Pac­12 tourney champ Stanford is unable to host because the league's gymnastics championships are March 18 at Maples Pavilion ­­ so the Cardinal must win two games on the road to make the Sweet 16. (Last year in that round, Stanford upset Notre Dame.) So we'll see which team outside the top 16 gets the chance to host because the Cardinal can't. And we'll find out if there are any surprises among those top 16 that are different than as projected by espnW's Charlie Crème, whose final Bracketology on Sunday had Ohio State as the final host and Auburn as the last team in.


We already know UConn will open at home in Storrs and is assured of being in the Bridgeport Regional. So the Huskies will not have to leave the state of Connecticut to earn a Final Four berth. The last time UConn fell short of that was 2007, which, incidentally, was the last year that Drake made the NCAA field. Now the Bulldogs are Tynice Martin and West Virginia had one of the biggest upsets ­­ and best runs ­­ of Champ Week. back after a decade away, earning the Missouri Valley Conference automatic bid. Drake has won 22 games in a row, the second­longest active streak behind the Huskies. Long Beach State has been waiting much longer than Drake, but the 49ers are back, as well. They upset Big West regular­season champ UC Davis on the way to winning the automatic bid. The 49ers made the field each season of the NCAA tournament's first decade ­­ 1982­92, including going to back­to­back Final Fours in 1987­ 88. But this will be their first appearance since 1992.
