" Hield's turnovers cause concern"

Thanks for the link, that was a nice little article. The following excerpt from the article really tells you all you need to know IMO

"What’s scary is the Sooners face No. 11 West Virginia Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center. The Mountaineers, who employ a full-court press throughout the game, forced 334 turnovers in their first 16 games. That’s nearly 100 more than any other Big 12 team."
 
I agree depth is a huge advantage for WVU Saturday.

Rebounding about even.

WVU holds teams to 8 fewer points on average compared to OU.

OU averages 2 more points a game on offense than WVU.

Ok State freshman guard poured in 42 points on them. Had zero trouble getting into the lane. WV should take note of that & continue the plan that was attacking Kansas that way & getting to the free throw line.

Sooners are a bit turnover prone (13.3/game) & that's not been against pressure.

I believe it's going to take a monster showing & heavy minutes from Hield for them to win. But it'll be hard for WVU to replicate Tuesday's game again Saturday in Norman. Sooners are one win away from taking No. 1.
