MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Following a two-game homestand, the West Virginia University women's basketball team travels to Austin, Texas, on Monday, Feb. 17, as the Mountaineers prepare for a rematch with Texas.
Opening tip is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET at the Erwin Center in Austin. Monday's game will be broadcast on FS1, with Ron Thulin and Stacey Dales on the call. Dan Zangrilli and Ayana Dunning will call the game for the Mountaineer Sports Network from Learfield IMG College. The game can be found on 100.9 WZST-FM, as well as affiliates across the state, the TuneIn Radio App and WVUSports.com. Live stats will be posted on WVUsports.com prior to Monday's game.
The Mountaineers (15-8, 5-7 Big 12) and the Longhorns (15-9, 47-5 Big 12) meet for the 21st time in the serie and the second time this season on Monday. WVU won the first meeting, 68-63, on Jan. 12 in Morgantown. WVU is 1-6 when playing the Longhorns in Austin, winning its last contest against UT in the Erwin, 64-58.
