Like the men's basketball teams in their conferences, the Big 12 and SEC have announced the pairings for the 2016 SEC/Big 12 Challenge in women's basketball. The Mountaineers have been tabbed to host Ole Miss on Sunday, December 4, 2016, in the WVU Coliseum, in Morgantown.
WVU women's basketball will be looking to keep their momentum from the last three seasons. In 2013-2014, the Mountaineers were co-champs of the Big 12 and lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. In 2014-2015, WVU finished a rebuilding year as runners-up in the Women's NIT.
