MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Mike Carey’s West Virginia women’s basketball team is perfecting the art of doing more with less.
When sharpshooting senior Katrina Pardee was carried off the floor after suffering a serious ankle injury against Oklahoma State on Jan. 9, the Mountaineers hopes of reaching the NCAA tournament took a grim turn. Not only was the team without its top three-point shooter for at least a month, but the Mountaineers were also down to eight able-bodied players.
Instead, the Mountaineers have rebounded when they should have caved. WVU (15-5, 6-3 Big 12) is 6-1 since Pardee’s injury against the Cowgirls, winning that game and five thereafter.
