About this episode
This is a get-back opportunity. After dropping five straight, Oklahoma State returns home to Gallagher-Iba Arena — where the Cowboys have been a different team all season. And now they get a West Virginia squad that struggles to score and hasn’t been able to rebound consistently in conference play. The matchup is fascinating. OSU is the fastest team in the Big 12. West Virginia is one of the slowest teams in the country. OSU averages over 80 points per game. WVU thrives on defense and physicality. Which identity wins? On today’s episode of Locked On Oklahoma State, we break down: Why tempo is everything in this matchup How Anthony Roy and Vyctorius Miller can stretch WVU’s defense Why Parsa Fallah’s efficiency inside could tilt the game And how important protecting home court is for postseason positioning If the Cowboys push pace, dominate the glass, and force WVU to chase from behind, this is their game to take. But if West Virginia drags it into the half-court and turns it into a rock fight… buckle up. And whether this is a “get right” game… or a turning point in the wrong direction If WVU controls pace and limits second chances, they win. If this turns into a track meet in Stillwater? It could be a long night. Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
