COMMENTARY
LAWRENCE, Kan. — West Virginia flexes its toughness. Kansas kills with skill.
Bill Self demanded his guys become more Mountaineer-like on Tuesday night, a tough-dude approach that evened up the season series and threw the Big 12 race into a top-heavy cluster once more.
Kansas won 75-65, putting the aggregate score of their two meetings at 139-138 in West Virginia’s slim favor. The Jayhawks desperately needed to win the equalizer, not only to prevent a two-game gap in the standings but also to save face.
“We got punked in Morgantown,” Self said.
