GAME. BLOUSES.
With the prospect of an upset almost in hand, unranked West Virginia nearly blew a 19-point lead over Big-12 foe No. 24 Kansas State.
Chania Ray and Lanay Montgomery both had double-doubles — Ray finishing with 14 points and 10 assists and Montgomery amassing 12 points and rebounds — to lead the Mountaineers to a 66-56 victory on Wednesday night. Teammate Katina Pardee also chipped in for 14 points, mostly scoring from deep — hitting four 3-pointers.
