West Virginia Mountaineers Vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Preview: Big 12 Second Round

OPENING THOUGHTS

Wow, one heck of a game yesterday.

Isaiah Kearns just straight pitching dimes, the entire offensive lineup hacking at every pitching. It’s just been awesome.

The winner of this game will advance to the semifinals and will not have to play tomorrow. WVU did it last year and it really works out great. Whoever comes out of the loser’s bracket would have to beat the Mountaineers twice to advance to the final.

So hopefully this will be the situation again this season.

HOW AFRAID SHOULD WE BE? (SCALE 1-10)

Four. I’m as afraid of Liam Neeson in this scene:

Let’s win and have Friday off.
