Cunningham made 7 out of 11 of the pitch and ended with three thefts and three blocks. West Virginia just had no answer for a sophomore 6 feet-4.
“I think this is a big victory for us because we are such a young team,” said Kenningham, who scored in double numbers for the first time since January 8th. “We started gathering together as a team at the beginning, and showed that we could play confidently, play together and play loud .
The result of the field
Jada Williams added 13 points, including three 3-indicatives, for Arizona (14-8, 5-4 large 12).
“I am very proud of my team,” said Arizona’s chief coach Adia Barnes. “We beat a really good team of West Virginia, which is a phenomenal defense. They have three dynamic evaluation guards who are one of the best in the country.
“I am proud of our very young background, which is much younger than they are in the back. I thought we went out and did their pressure and really played well at home. “
JJ Quinerly led West Virginia (16-4, 6-3) with 26 points, and Sydney show scored 10, but then there was not much help for the mountaineers.
Jordan Harrison struck a jumper, who gave the mountaineers a 15-14 lead with 1:32 in the first quarter, but Williams replied with a 3-pointed 18 seconds later, and Arizona never gave up again.
Shaw made a jumper to open the second quarter, which tied it to 17-all, but Jones scored the next seven points to cause 12-2. Arizona exceeded WVU 29-15 in the second quarter.
“We had a second -quarter disaster and we really just lost our way,” said WVU chief coach Mark Kellog. “That was the difference, to be honest.”
Kinerley hit a jumper in the paint that trimmed the Western Virginia deficit to seven points, with 7:44 in the game, which is when Arizona took control.
WVU freshman Jordan Thomas was whistled for a deliberate foul, which led to two free throws made by Williams. Cunningham scored low afterwards and then Williams added two more 3-indicatives. That’s right, Arizona’s lead returned to 20 points just three minutes later.
“We have lost the inertia of the intentional foul,” Kellog said. “He went to double digit numbers again and never recovered from there. We didn’t play the best. This is not the quality of the basketball team we were in during the year. “
The climbers made a low-season season of 3-Indication at 12 attempts. Harrison, the second leading scorer of the mountaineers, was in unpleasant problems and was forced to sit on a large section of the second half. It was only kept seven points, without assists, and turned the ball over four times. WVU had a total of 21 turnover.
“We were very well prepared,” said Kinerley, who scored 20 points or more for her third consecutive game. “We have great guards who are able to handle the pressure ball. In my eyes we were prepared. We just didn’t finish. ”
West Virginia is expelled until next Saturday when the mountaineers host Oklahoma.
