Big 12 quarters
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- Sydney Shaw hit five 3-pointers and finished with 19
points, Gia Cooke scored 16, and second-seeded West Virginia beat No. 10 seed
Arizona State 67-54 on Friday in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament.
No. 15 West Virginia (25-6) plays Saturday in the semifinals against the winner
between No. 20 Baylor, the No. 3 seed, and sixth-seeded Colorado. The
Mountaineers have won 25 games in each of coach Mark Kellogg's first three
seasons.
Shaw tied the program record for 3-pointers in a Big 12 Tournament game. Jordan
Harrison added 10 points, five assists and three steals for West Virginia.
Marley Washenitz led Arizona State (24-10) with 14 points and Heloisa Carrera
scored 10. Gabby Elliott left the game due to an apparent knee injury with 5:33
left in the third quarter but returned to start the fourth and finished with
nine points --- all in the first half.
Washenitz hit a 3-pointer that capped an 8-0 run to open the fourth quarter and
made it 52-50 game with 8:05 left. Shaw answered 30 seconds later with a 3
before Cooke added a putback and --- after a steal by Wheeler --- another 3
before Shaw hit her final 3-pointer to give West Virginia a 13-point lead with
2:37 to go.
The Sun Devils went scoreless for more than six minutes in the fourth quarter
before Carrera hit two free throws that made it 63-52 with 1:48 left.
