Behind new starters, West Virginia finishes strong to snap skid

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Bob Huggins inserted two new starters into West Virginia’s lineup against Oklahoma State, but Tuesday night’s game was more about how the Mountaineers finished.

No. 17 West Virginia dominated the second half, holding the Cowboys (13-13, 3-10 Big 12) to 14 points for a 65-47 win that snapped a three-game losing streak.

The final play of the first half ended up setting the tone for the 20 minutes that followed.

Jermaine Haley drained a three from the corner at the buzzer, with the ball making a full rotation around the rim before popping out, bouncing off the back iron and rolling back through the net.
