Series History: First Meeting
What You Need To Know: After starting the season with a nine-point loss at home to Ohio State, the Mountaineers, who received votes in this week's AP Top -25 Poll, have rattled off six-straight victories, with two at home, two on the road and two in Hawaii. West Virginia's most recent victory came Tuesday night over Coppin State, 88-56. Head Coach Mike Carey, who earned his 250th career victory with the program in the win, uses a 10-man rotation, with no one averaging more than 29 minutes per game. The Mountaineers are not a great three-point shooting team (27 percent), and instead play an inside game utilizing their big height advantage. Seniors Christal Caldwell and Asya Bussie lead the team in scoring at 15 and 13 points per game.
