Preview: West Virginia Visits Texas A&M in Key Non-Conference Clash COLLEGE STATION, Texas (Interstat) — A surging West Virginia women’s basketball team, riding a three-game winning streak, faces a stiff road test against a hot-starting Texas A&M squad Sunday at Reed Arena. The Mountaineers (9-2) have rebounded decisively from a two-game skid in late November, winning their last three by an average of 49 points. They are coming off an 82-50 rout of Georgia Tech on Thursday, showcasing a balanced attack. Texas A&M (6-1), whose only blemish is a one-point loss to Texas-Arlington, presents a significant step up in competition. The Aggies are 4-0 at home this season and are fresh off a 72-63 victory over the same Georgia Tech team nine days ago. The matchup features a compelling duel at point guard. West Virginia’s Jordan Harrison has been instrumental in the team’s resurgence, averaging 17.3 points and 6.0 assists over the last three wins. She will be matched against Texas A&M’s dynamic Ny’Ceara Pryor, who is coming off a 17-point, 10-assist double-double against Georgia Tech and averages 18.6 points and 7.3 assists per game. For West Virginia, support for Harrison has come from Sydney Shaw (18 points vs. GT) and Kierra Wheeler (16 points). Texas A&M counters with a strong interior presence in Lauren Ware, who scored 14 points against the Yellow Jackets. This game serves as a final major non-conference test for both programs before holiday breaks and the start of league play. West Virginia begins Big 12 action Jan. 1, while Texas A&M opens its Southeastern Conference slate the same day. The Mountaineers’ high-pressure defense, which has forced turnovers at a high rate, will challenge an Aggie offense that has shown potency but occasional inconsistency. Texas A&M’s ability to handle that pressure, led by Pryor, may dictate the tempo and outcome. Tipoff is set for Sunday afternoon. West Virginia visits Houston on Dec. 21, while Texas A&M hosts Prairie View A&M the same day.
