STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State’s Gallagher-Iba Arena was built in 1938.
On Monday night, it felt like the host Cowboys and West Virginia were intent on setting the game back to that era.
But ugly suited the 17h-ranked Mountaineers better than it did the hosts as WVU slugged out a 55-41 win that will not be featured in any reputable highlight reels.
The teams combined to commit nearly four times as many turnovers (39) as assists (11). West Virginia shot 60 percent or worse at the free-throw line for the fourth straight game. Oklahoma State was a ghastly 1-for-20 from three-point range, and 29.
