MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The No. 20-ranked West Virginia University women’s basketball team looks to get back in the win column when they welcome Colorado to Morgantown on Wednesday, Jan. 15, inside the WVU Coliseum. The meeting is the second between the two programs this season after opening the conference schedule against each other in late December.
 
Tipoff against the Buffaloes is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET, and gates open at 6 p.m. The contest against CU will be broadcast live on the Mountaineer Sports Network, including 98.3 WBKE-FM, with Andrew Caridi on the call. Fans also can listen to the game on the Varsity Network App.
 
Additionally, Wednesday’s game will be broadcast on ESPN+, with Nick Farrell and Meg Bulger on the call. Live stats and game notes are available on WVUsports.com.

The Coliseum is going country on Wednesday so break out those cowboy boots for this weeknight Big 12 match-up. The first 500 fans in attendance will receive a custom WV cowboy hat. Weeknight happy hour will be in effect from doors open to tipoff where select beverages and concessions will be half-off!
 
The matchup will be just the second-ever meeting between WVU (13-3, 3-2 Big 12) and CU (12-4, 3-2 Big 12). Colorado won the first-ever meeting earlier this season, despite WVU leading by double digits entering the final quarter. The Buffs outscored the Mountaineers 25-9 in the final quarter to claim a five-point victory.
 
Frida Forman paces Colorado’s scoring production, averaging 13.9 points per game, while two more Buffs average double figures in Lior Garzon (11.5) and Jade Masogayo (12.6). Sara Smith leads with 6.3 rebounds per game and Kindyll Wetta leads the team with 6.1 assists and 1.9 steals.
 
Colorado’s two losses in league play come on the road to then No. 11 TCU and RV Baylor and both came by double digits. CU adds two more league wins, defeating UCF and Kansas at home in their last two contests.
 
Senior guard JJ Quinerly (18.3), junior guard Jordan Harrison (14.2) and junior guard Sydney Shaw (12.5) pace the Mountaineers scoring production this season. Harrison’s 5.1 assists per game leads WVU and ranks 8th in the Big 12. Senior guard Kyah Watson has grabbed 7.6 rebounds per game which ranks sixth in the Big 12 while her 3.1 steals per game ranks second and Quinerly’s 3.2 steals per game is first.
 
The Big 12’s leaders in steals last season, Watson (50), Quinerly (38) and Harrison (31), are at it again this season averaging over two steals per contest. Junior guard Sydney Shaw and Senior guard Sydney Woodley have also gotten in on the action with 32 and 29 steals this season, giving WVU five players with 29+ steals through 16 games.
 
The Mountaineers have forced 15+ turnovers in every game this season, including 20+ in 13 games, to average 25.7 per game. The mark ranks fifth in the nation.
