Comeback Cowboys hand WVU stinging defeat, 88-85

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Lindy Waters buried the go-ahead 3-pointer with 17 seconds left and Oklahoma State’s late comeback stunned No. 19 West Virginia 88-85 on Saturday.

Behind 20 points each from Kendall Smith and Cameron McGriff, the Cowboys (15-10, 5-7) replicated last weekend’s upset win at Kansas.

“At some point maybe the conversation needs to turn to ‘Oklahoma State’s not awful.’ Just give us that,” joked Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton. “Let’s go from ‘awful’ to ‘not awful’ and we’ll go from there.”

And at some point, maybe the Big 12 champion should be plucked out of a hat.
