Oklahoma State won a thrilling 82-75 game over West Virginia on Saturday to extend its four-game winning streak to five and nab its third-straight Big 12 road win (Travis Ford had four total in his last three years as coach). Here are the notes I took as Brad Underwood got his first signature win as head man in Stillwater.
• A marker of Eddie Sutton’s teams is that they got better as the year went on. They found a rhythm. The opposite was true of Travis Ford’s. They were at their best in December. The jury is out on Brad Underwood, but it would appear he’s more former than latter so far.
