What to Know

Kansas is 9-1 against West Virginia since January of 2020, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Saturday. Both teams will face off in a Big 12 battle at 4:00 p.m. ET at WVU Coliseum. Despite being away, Kansas is looking at a ten-point advantage in the spread.

Kansas has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won six matches by 19 points or more this season. They blew past the Cowboys 90-66. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Kansas.

Kansas' victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Johnny Furphy, who scored 15 points along with seven rebounds. Hunter Dickinson was another key contributor, scoring 21 points along with seven rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Mountaineers came up short against the Sooners on Wednesday and fell 77-63.

West Virginia struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only three offensive rebounds. That's the fewest offensive rebounds they've managed all season.

The Jayhawks are on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 15-2 record this season. As for the Mountaineers, they have been struggling recently, as they've lost four of their last five games, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season.

This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: Kansas just can't miss this season, having made 51% of their shots per game (they're ranked fifth in field goal percentage per game overall). It's a different story for West Virginia, though, as they've only made 41.1% of their shots per game this season. Given Kansas' sizeable advantage in that area, West Virginia will need to find a way to close that gap.
