Mountaineers once again lost in the Phog after blowing halftime lead

LAWRENCE, Kan. — The story continues re-writing itself when West Virginia visits Phog Allen Fieldhouse.

For the fourth time in their past six visits, the Mountaineers went into halftime either in front of or even with the Jayhawks. The result remains the same, though, after No. 2 Kansas squelched No. 16 WVU’s offense in the second half for a 60-53 win.

In the second half, the Mountaineers (11-2, 0-1 Big 12) shot 28 percent from the field (7 of 25), 60 percent from the free-throw line (9 of 15) and missed all four of their three-point attempts.
