West Virginia is headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week’s over/under low at 142, but even that wound up being too high. They put the hurt on Okla. State with a sharp 69-50 win on Saturday. The Mountaineers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won six matchups by 19 points or more this season.
Among those leading the charge was Javon Small, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 11 rebounds. He had some trouble finding his footing against Kansas on Tuesday, so this was a step in the right direction. Jonathan Powell was another key player, going 6 for 10 en route to 17 points.
Cincinnati typically has all the answers at home, but on Saturday Arizona proved too difficult a challenge. They rang in the new year with a 72-67 victory over the Bearcats.

Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: West Virginia has crashing the boards this season, having averaged 37 rebounds per game. However, it’s not like Arizona struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 41.5. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we’ll see if one team can grab an edge.
