West Virginia sophomore forward — and pepperoni roll spokesman — Jalen Bridges tied a career-high performance on Tuesday night to power the Mountaineers (13-2, 2-1 Big 12) to a 70-60 win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Morgantown.
WVU and Oklahoma State traded the lead through the first ten minutes of the game before Taz Sherman and Sean McNeil nailed back-to-back threes to open an 18-12 lead for the Mountaineers with just over eight minutes remaining in the half.
Gabe Osabuohien then took over, scoring WVU’s next nine points and extending the lead to 27-16 with 5:48 left on the clock.
