Keys For A Cowboy Win Going Against West Virginia Mountaineers

OSU won last time out on the court, defeating OU Monday to carry their win streak to four.

But now they face the full court press of West Virginia in Morgantown; the question is, are the Cowboys a different team from the one that lost to WVU by 17?

Last time it was all West Virginia, but the “Voice of the Cowboys” Dave Hunziker looks at what might be the secret to beating the Mountaineers, a top 10 team.

"The one thing that jumps out when you look at their conference losses is teams don't turn the ball over - only 13-and-a-half turnovers per game for their opponents when West Virginia lost. In fact, each of the teams that have beaten them have had less turnovers than the Mountaineers. That's a big thing. And I think, too, is finish. Teams that have beaten West Virginia have had a lot of points in the paint, they've been able to get some easy baskets and finish plays. I think that that's important too," Hunziker said.

The Cowboys are coming off a win in Bedlam on Monday in Norman for the first time in 13 years, so a good matchup is set for a 4:00 p.m. tip on Saturday.
