Community Picks: Oklahoma 0% vs West Virginia 0%

West Virginia's aggressive defense forced Oklahoma into one of its worst shooting performances of the season and nearly helped it pull out a victory in Norman last month. Shutting down the third-ranked Sooners' three-guard lineup Saturday in Morgantown will be a much tougher task for the No. 10 Mountaineers if Daxter Miles Jr. and Jaysean Paige can't play through their injuries. West Virginia (20-6, 9-4 Big 12), though, could be catching Oklahoma (20-5, 8-5) at the perfect time. Continue to Article

Buddy Hield and Oklahoma have bounced back from each of their defeats this season, but a meeting with Texas Tech on Wednesday night could make continuing that difficult. Oklahoma (20-4, 8-4 in Big 12) hasn't lost consecutive games since Jan. 19 and 24, 2015, and Hield is among the biggest reasons for that. Hield didn't have any such problems in a 91-67 rout of Texas Tech on Jan. 26, pouring in 30 points on 9-of-12 shooting and 5 of 8 from long range. Continue to Article

Oklahoma should fall from the top spot of the AP Top 25, but the bigger concern for coach Lon Kruger's squad is regaining its composure in time to rebound from another Big 12 road defeat. The country's top 3-point shooting team at 46.2 percent coming into the weekend, Oklahoma (19-3, 7-3) went a season-worst 6-of-24 from beyond the arc in Saturday's 80-69 loss at Kansas State. It was an all-around rough night for the Sooners, who failed to hold an early nine-point lead, allowed the Wildcats to shoot better than any opponent has against them (52.9 percent) this season and reached a boiling point when senior Isaiah Cousins received a late technical for kicking the ball into the crowd.
