The Mountaineers fell, 64-61, to Virginia Tech at the WVU Coliseum. With this last loss, the West Virginia record was 25-12 on the season. It certainly is a solid campaign, but not enough for head coach Mike Carey.
Winning the WNIT would have been a nice accomplishment because it would add some more hardware to the trophy case. The regular season may have been a disappointment because of some lopsided losses in the Big 12 Conference. Winning the WNIT would have made up for a lot of those shortcomings.
The WVU basketball team had previously defeated Virginia Tech this season, but the Hokies were ready to surprise the Mountaineers in this postseason match up.
