STILLWATER — When Oklahoma State travels to Morgantown on Saturday, it will be a battle of teams fighting to not be last in the conference.
The Mountaineers have been without star player Sagaba Konate for the past six games with a knee injury. West Virginia is 2-4 over that stretch. In Konate’s place, freshman Derek Culver has stepped in and averaged 12.2 points a game in his first five games of collegiate basketball.
West Virginia might not be the best matchup for the Cowboys. The Mountaineers are the tallest team in the Big 12 and are second in the conference in rebounding.
