West Virginia eviscerated Kansas State by 38 at home Saturday. Look for a residual effect against running, gunning Oklahoma, which has won 14 straight up at home. The Sooners might have a fatigue problem of their own, with super-frosh G Trey Young playing every last second on Saturday. Coach Lon Kruger promises to scale back his minutes, but now is not the time against the Mountaineers’ pressing defense. Still, a leg-weary Young is preferable to a flu-weakened West Virginia.
This Oklahoma team continues to be plagued by a lack of poise and inability to execute down the stretch in road games. The Sooners led Texas by 10 in the second half Saturday before collapsing and taking a 79-74 loss. Trae Young had 19 points on 7-of-22 shooting. But the Sooners have been consistent at home and are undefeated in conference play on their home court. On Monday they will be looking to avenge a blowout loss to West Virginia. if Oklahoma has any heart at all, this is a game it has to put in the win column.
