OK State vs West Virginia Prediction

Oklahoma State has won four of its last five games against West Virginia, including 67-60 on Jan. 2 in Stillwater. Thompson led the Cowboys with 15 points while Stevenson scored 17 for the Mountaineers before fouling out.

Neither team inspires confidence, but West Virginia looks like it is falling apart at the seams. The Mountaineers are a good fade candidate.
