Oklahoma State tries to stay in Big 12 title race with key tilt at West Virginia

Oklahoma State has survived by the skin of its teeth in the past two weeks against Texas and Kansas State. They're very much alive in the Big 12 title hunt, but they'd certainly like to play at a higher level going forward to validate that belief.

Both teams are talented, but flawed. And West Virginia just lost arguably its best all around player, Karl Joseph, for the season with a knee injury.

Who are the X-factors for Saturday's game? What can we expect when the Mountaineers have the ball? The Cowboys?

ESPN's Big 12 writers broke it all down.
