Just days after snapping their seven-game losing streak with a convincing win over Iowa State, the West Virginia Mountaineers stood by and watched the Oklahoma State Cowboys race past them in the second half of Saturday’s game in Stillwater, dropping their tenth game of the season, 81-58.
West Virginia got to the free-throw line early, opening up a 5-0 lead in the first minute of the game, but the Cowboys were quick to respond with a 7-0 run to take a 9-8 lead with just under four minutes off the clock.
The two teams traded blows throughout the half, but Oklahoma State would ultimately come out on top, taking a 36-30 lead into the half.
