The first matchup between these two resulted in an easy 11 point win for the WVU basketball team. West Virginia looks to separate themselves even more in the conference race, a Mountaineer win would be a big blow on Kansas who is fighting to win their 12th straight Big 12 Conference regular season title.
West Virginia created havoc as they usually do, forcing Kansas to commit 22 turnovers, a season high for them. The Mountaineers were able to shoot exceptionally well from the free throw line outscoring Kansas 33-13. Unfortunately for WVU, free throws haven’t been easy since.
