The Oklahoma State Cowboys (18-9) (5-1) have really surprised some people to begin Big XII play. They earned a series victory over the always dangerous TCU Horned Frogs last weekend and have already taken 1 game against their in-state rival, the Oklahoma Sooners. However, this weekend they get to host the scrappy West Virginia Mountaineers (17-11) (2-4) in an important series for both programs.
Alek Manoah (3-2, 2.89 ERA)

Jensen Elliott (3-1, 3.44 ERA)
Manoah got hit with the hard-luck loss last Friday against the Sooners after allowing just 2 runs over 7.
