Cougars vs Mountaineers

West Virginia’s dynamic guard has been instrumental in driving the Mountaineers’ success with impressive shooting efficiency, aggressive defensive pressure, and a disciplined turnover margin that gives them a clear statistical edge. Their superior rebounding and methodical transition play contrast with BYU’s Cougars, who, despite a high-tempo offensive approach, have shown inconsistency in perimeter defense and ball control. With both teams’ starters healthy and fully engaged in this early-season clash, West Virginia’s overall edge in these key performance areas positions them to cover the -2.5 spread.
