Andrew Wiggins' 41 points not enough as KU basketball falls to West Virginia, 92-86 | CJOnline.com
The Jayhawks’ poor defense started early, as WVU took a 50-38 lead into the break thanks to wildly efficient offense. The Mountaineers scored 1.47 points per possession, helped by Staten’s quick drives to the rim, 4-for-6 overall 3-point shooting, and 20 first-half free-throw attempts.

"I didn’t want it more," Wiggins said of playing in the state where he led Huntington (W.Va.) Prep to greatness for two seasons. "I want it every game. I play every game like it’s my last so this is no different from any college game I’ve played this year."

"Hopefully we get real positive news," Self said. "Hopefully he can be on the practice floor very very soon. We will not put him out there just because he feels better but because the doctors says it’s time to get back out there. Hopefully it will be real soon, if not we’ll sit him a little longer. We still don’t think it will affect (his participation in) the NCAA Tournament in any way," Self added.

Embiid and Wiggins clearly distanced themselves as the team’s two most important, most consistent players, a pair of long, athletic wonders who learned through the year how to use their gifts in so many different ways all over the floor. In so doing, they masked the weaknesses of teammates. Take one of them away, a couple of things go wrong early in a game and things can snowball the margin becomes 25 points.

1 - Andrew Wiggins: Unstoppable driving to the hoop, Wiggins drew enough fouls to go 15 for 19 from the line and he made 12 of 18 shots from the field. He made 2 of 5 three-pointers. Positively influenced the game in every area and totaled 41 points, eight rebounds, five steals and four blocked shots. Leading his team to a regular-season championship in what some consider the toughest conference in the country, Wiggins has positioned himself well for first-team All-American consideration. Set KU freshman record for points in a game and was the first KU player to reach 40 since Terry Brown in 1991.
