Sudden show of offense adds a layer to Gabe Osabuohien’s game

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Many fans refer to West Virginia forward Gabe Osabuohien by the nickname “Gabe O,” as that’s what tends to happen when you have a last name with that many letters in it.

For most of this season, “Gabe D” might have been a better moniker for Osabuohien given his prowess on the defensive end of the floor — the floor being where he frequently sprawls, whether for loose balls or after getting bowled over taking a charge.

But West Virginia’s past two games have demonstrated that Gabe O’s game also has some “O” to it.
