Today the Mountaineers will be taking on Oklahoma State Cowboys for senior day. WVU is coming off of a close road loss to Kansas Tuesday night. Jevon Carter and Daxter Miles Jr. have definitely stepped up in the absence of Staten and Browne, but with missed free throws and the large number of fouls, their hard-work did not payoff in this match. However, it will not go unnoticed as these players on the court are the future of this Mountaineers basketball team.

There is a lot at stake for the Cowboys in today’s match-up as they are on the bubble after losing four of their last five games. A win today in Morgantown would put OSU RPI at .500 and a Top 25 victory would give them a huge push for a seeding in the NCAA tournament.

Players to watch:

OSU- Le’Bryan Nash and Anthony Hickey Jr. both had 20 point games in their most recent victory against TCU. The last time that these two teams met, Nash lead Oklahoma State with 12 points, 4 assists and one steal.

WVU- Freshman Daxter Miles Jr. and Jevon Carter have took lead of this team without leaders Staten and Browne. In the close loss to the Jayhawks, Miles lead the team in 23 points while Carter lead the game with 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
