PICK: I’m going to take West Virginia here. The last time these teams met up was back on January 2 in a 75-71 Oklahoma victory. Both teams shot pretty well in that one with 40.0 percent for the Mountaineers and 42.2 percent for the Sooners. Oklahoma held the edge in rebounds 41-36 and team assists 17-13. West Virginia has been scoring quite well since then and I think this one will be another great game. I think the Mountaineers can bang out a revenge cover as well.
