Gia Cooke’s driving layup gave West Virginia its largest lead, 51-42, with 8:25 to play. An 8-1 surge pulled Colorado to 52-50 with 4:50 left, but the Buffaloes didn’t get closer. Cooke added two more layups in the closing minutes that pushed the Mountaineers’ lead back to five points each time.
Cooke finished with 12 points and Sydney Shaw added 11 for West Virginia (19-5, 9-3 Big 12). Carter McCray grabbed 10 rebounds. The Mountaineers have won five of their last six games.
