You are looking live inside Hilton Coliseum and at the man in the crosshairs tonight. That’s Monte Morris, the Big 12’s preseason player of the year and a Wooden Award finalist. He doesn’t make mistakes, and mistakes fuel West Virginia’s attack. Good luck with that. He has 520 more assists than turnovers in his career and a 5-to-1 assist-turnover ratio this season, a season that’s seen him average 16.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists and shoot 39 percent from 3-point range. Nobody else in the country averages 16-4-5 and less than two turnovers per game.

“His ball security is terrific,” WVU coach Bob Huggins said. “I don’t know if we can get him to turn it over much, either. Hopefully, we can continue to put new people on him and try to wear him down a little bit.”

That’s a note to Tarik Phillip and Teyvon Myers.

Morris has played 312 of a possible 330 minutes in Big 12 play. The Cyclones aren’t very deep. WVU’s press might be good again, and the cumulative effect would be a welcome ally here. Watch Iowa State coach Steve Prohm and how he uses his timeouts. He’d rather not use one or two to slow WVU rallies and would prefer to use them strategically.

Against the Mountaineers’ press the previous two seasons, Morris has a 25-to-6 assist-turnover ratio, including that brilliant 10-to-0 game here last season. In all, the Cyclones have 59 assists and 64 turnovers against WVU in the past four games — a sweep in 2014-15, swept up in 2015-16 — and the Mountaineers have scored nine, 21, 10 and 14 points off turnovers.

So, WVU better have a backup plan tonight, much as it did last season or even two games ago against Kansas. This is not the place where you want to turn guards loose and give up layups, dunks or especially corner 3s. WVU could rely on half-court defense again.

The Cyclones, who are not big and who can struggle to rebound, were outrebounded by 14 and 17 in the two losses last season. WVU had more offensive rebounds in each game than Iowa State had in both games combined and a 40-17 edge in second-chance points. It’s a timely opponent for the Mountaineers, whose rebounding issues we’ve addressed.

And now, some scheduling notes…
