West Virginia Mountaineers vs Oklahoma State Cowboys Predictions 2/12/2022
Oklahoma State looked promising after upsetting Oklahoma on February 5th, but they were defeated by TCU on Tuesday. The Cowboys lost five of their past six games.

They limited Oklahoma to 55 points on 2/2 and had a three-game stretch in January when they kept opponents to 55.3 points per game.

The Cowboys staked their reputation on defense, which makes their recent defensive woes all the more alarming. On defense, they surrender 66.9 points per game (119th), while opponents shoot 40.4 percent (46th) and 33.3 percent from three-point range (182nd).
Oklahoma State shoots 43.8 percent from the field (200th) and 30.4 percent from the three-point range, averaging 69.3 points per game (231st) (325th). Oklahoma State’s defense will be unable to win games in the crowded Big 12 if it continues its plays.
