West Virginia (21-6) went 17 of 63 (27%) from the field and Baylor was 33 for 66 (50%).
The Lady Bears dominated in the paint outrebounding West Virginia 46-33 and scoring 54 points in the paint.
The Mountaineers never got closer than 10 in the second half as Baylor has won 12 of its last 13 games by double digits.
It’s been nearly two months since the Lady Bears last defeat, which was a 75-71 loss against Iowa State on January 16.
BIG PICTURE
West Virginia: They never really got within striking distance in the second half. Earlier this month they lost to Baylor by 23 so they’ve improved since that game.
Baylor: The Lady Bears are the gold standard of this conference and prove it every year. The other nine teams in the Big 12 have a lot of catching up to do.
UP NEXT
Both teams will be in the NCAA Tournament which starts on March 21.
