NORMAN, Okla. -- Trae Young battled an illness.
He couldn't buy an assist.
When he had a chance to defeat West Virginia, or at least send the game to overtime, Oklahoma's star freshman couldn't get off his shot.
As a result, the 19th-ranked Mountaineers toppled the Sooners 75-73 at the Lloyd Noble Center on Big Monday, passing Young and No. 17 Oklahoma for third place in the Big 12 standings.
On the day Young made the Wooden Award late-season watch list, he came down with an illness. Two days after playing all 40 minutes in a loss at Texas, Young uncharacteristically sat for three minutes in the first half Monday against the Mountaineers, though he downplayed the effect being sick might have had on his energy level.
