The past two years, the Mountaineers have upset Top 10-ranked Jayhawks teams and they have a chance to do it again on Tuesday.
Kansas comes into the game with a 14-1 record and No. 1 ranking in both the Associated Press and Coaches Poll. West Virginia moved up to No. 11 in the Coaches Poll and No. 10 in the AP Poll, making this a Big 12 battle of Top 10 teams.
“They’ve worked to be where they’re at I guess, and I can’t even say I guess – they’re obviously the No. 1 team in the country for a reason,” WVU guard Jaysean Paige said.
