Utah’s women’s basketball team suffered a devastating 75-46 loss to No. 18 West Virginia in their final road game of the regular season. The Utes struggled with turnovers, committing a season-high 28 that led to 35 points for the Mountaineers. West Virginia’s JJ Quinerly scored a career-high 38 points, tying the arena record for individual points scored. The loss guarantees Utah will be either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed in the upcoming Big 12 tournament.
Coach Gavin Petersen emphasized the need for the team to learn and grow from the loss, as they will likely face tough competition in the tournament. The Utes will finish the regular season with a matchup against BYU before heading to the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City. Despite the challenging loss, Utah has secured a top 8 seed and a first-round bye in the tournament. Petersen stressed the importance of preparing for future challenges to ensure better results in the upcoming tournaments.
