West Virginia upended Rutgers in Morgantown with a huge late run. WVU's biggest win in years (they've never defeated a team this highly ranked) came with starting center Olayinka Sanni in foul trouble and heralded guard Meg Bulger unable to play (painful knee).
In their absence, LaQuita Owens-- who had been cold for the first half-- shot the lights out: 23 points, and four of nine from downtown. WVU's student paper gives credit, too, to the unheralded Sparkle Davis, who replaced Bulger in the starting lineup.
WVU were ranked twelfth before last night's surprise; Clay, who broke down the polls yesterday, saw the upset as a possibility, since the Mountaineers have so far lost only to Tennessee, UConn and (hmmm) Indiana.
