Jermaine Haley focused on turnovers not his career-high 23 points

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia guard Jermaine Haley didn’t care about his stats, save for his four turnovers, which he blamed for fueling Oklahoma’s first-half surge on Saturday.

“We had a lot of turnovers early, including me, I think I had [four] in the first half,” Haley said. “We kind of let them go on a run and we never recovered from it.”

Haley had a career-high 23 points and added six rebounds, but that part of the boxscore was simply numbers on a page after Oklahoma dismantled the Mountaineers 92-80.

Coupled with his previous two games before Saturday, Haley’s numbers look like this: 54 points on 19-of-32 shooting (59 percent), 21 rebounds and 16 assists.
