Big 12 conference play starts off with the highest ranked team in the conference, West Virginia (11-1) traveling to Oklahoma State (10-2). In case you haven’t been following Big 12 basketball for the past few years, West Virginia has gone all in on Bob Huggins’ “Press Virginia” defense, which has the Mountaineers forcing backcourt pressure on nearly every possession. This type of defense causes a lot of mistakes and teams generally need exception point guard play to weather it. West Virginia has its own standout point guard in Jevon Carter. Luckily, the Cowboys are in pretty good hands themselves with transfer Kendall Smith.
