Kansas heads east to the weird school that really shouldn’t be in our conference as the Jayhawks take on the Mountaineers of Western Virginia.

Kansas is the #3 team in the country in the AP Poll, while WVU comes in at #14. KenPom currently has KU at #1 and WVU at #7. The Jayhawks are coming off a 60-46 road win at TCU while the Mountaineers are coming off a surprising 69-59 road loss in Norman against Oklahoma.

Kansas leads the all-time series with WVU 13-5, however, the Jayhawks are just 2-5 inside the WVU Coliseum. The most recent meeting was a 60-53 Kansas victory inside Allen Fieldhouse about five weeks ago.

I hope you have reliable high-speed internet and ESPN+, because if you don’t tonight will be a pointed reminder that neither Kansas nor the Big 12 care about you. Please direct all complaints to Doug Girod.

Here are the essentials:

The Numbers
