John's Take: Contributing Factors In OSU's Loss To No. 17 West Virginia

For the second straight game, Oklahoma State was hurt by their opponents offensive rebounding, 17 offensive boards in the loss at Baylor and 18 by West Virginia Saturday afternoon. Six of those rebounds were by Jonathan Holton.

OSU couldn't make up for that deficit, even though they outscored West Virginia in the paint 30-24.

The Cowboys gave up a 17-6 advantage in second chance points, and West Virginia cruised to the easy 77-60 win.
