MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – Following a 70-60 win over Oklahoma State inside the WVU Coliseum, Jalen Bridges and Gabe Osabuohien talked to the media about the game. Bridges and Osabuohien were asked about the team’s progression from the start of the season to now.

“I’m super excited to see where we can go with this team. You can kinda tell we’re starting to really buy in,” Bridges said. “The sky is the limit and we’ll go as far as we want to go.”

Osabuohien was more critical on what the team needs to work on.

“There’s a lot of stuff we need to work on offensively and defensively,” Osabuohien said. “We’re definitely getting better slowly, but we still have a long way to go.”

Back in November, this West Virginia team was struggling to out-rebound Oakland, Pitt and Eastern Kentucky, but now, the team is challenging Big 12 schools to battles in the paint. Just by watching the games, the Mountaineers have improved immensely over the last two months.
