COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Kansas was supposed to be savvy with the basketball, yet committed 22 turnovers.
Kansas was supposedly a multi-dimensional offensive machine, but aside from Perry Ellis, no other part looked plugged in.
Kansas was supposed to be superior, yet this week’s lame-duck No. 1 team trailed for the final 31 minutes at West Virginia, much of that by double figures.
And as Bill Self admitted afterward, to ridicule the Jayhawks’ many failings is to undersell No. 11 West Virginia’s role in creating the mess.
“We put our foot down,” said Mountaineers double-double man Devin Williams.
