STILLWATER — Oklahoma State’s chance at redemption is on hold.

The Cowboys’ rematch with West Virginia set for next week has been postponed due to COVID-19 positive tests and contact tracing, the Big 12 announced Tuesday.

OSU was set to travel to Morgantown, W.V., for next Tuesday’s 6 p.m. matchup just 15 days after the Cowboys squandered a 19-point lead in the second half.

West Virginia’s games against Baylor on Wednesday and TCU on Saturday were also postponed.

The Big 12 said it would work with each school to reschedule the games.
