Players to Watch:

Amber Tretter (M-OH): The 6'1" junior is a double-double machine, having recorded 12 such occasions this season. She's averaging 14.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game on 50% shooting, including knocking down 36% of her shots from three-point land. Defensively, she can be a force as well, posting 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest.

Gia Cooke (WVU): This seems like one of those games where Gia could get a ton of space and put up a big night, catching fire from three. She was kept in check in the Big 12 title game, putting up just seven points, so a bounce-back performance feels in store.

A scare in the first round is not likely for West Virginia. Instead, it's a matter of how much they'll win by. The oddsmakers have the Mountaineers currently favored by 29.5 points and have the over/under sitting at 125.5.
