The West Virginia Mountaineers turned themselves into a topic of college basketball discussion on Saturday.
WVU welcomed the No. 22 Kansas Jayhawks into the Hope Coliseum in Morgantown for a Saturday afternoon Big 12 showdown. Most people expected entering the game that Kansas would be headed home by Saturday evening with a win, as the Mountaineers entered just 2-5 against Power 5 competition this season, while all four losses the Jayhawks had suffered on the season had been to Top 25 opponents.
But despite everyone's expectations, as well as entering as the better underdogs, the Mountaineers did the improbably and upset the ranked Jayhawks in an 86-75 victory that advances them to 11-5 on the season and 2-1 in Big 12 play.
