It’s been hard to establish true rivals in the Big 12 because of distance and history. There is a good rivalry deepening between Oklahoma State and West Virginia.
In the first meeting in Stillwater, the Mountaineers rallied for a large second half deficit to pull out the victory. West Virginia then lost to Oklahoma State in Morgantown in their last game after being up by six at the half. The Big 12 tournament was de ja vu on Thursday as West Virginia ended the first half up with a six point lead.
Miles McBride was the best player on the floor in the first half making six field goals and taking three charges.
