Daily Word: Why West Virginia struggles against the Big 12 elite

Each weekday, our college hoops experts discuss the biggest issues, trends and themes in college basketball.

1. West Virginia has struggled against the Big 12 elite -- it has lost three of four, and the three defeats are against Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. What's holding the Mountaineers back?

Andy Katz: Turning the ball over. Bob Huggins said that remains their issue. They have to solve it if they are going to advance in March.

Dana O'Neil: Offense. As tough and relentless as the Mountaineers are defensively, they do not have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Big 12's top tier.
