I know ku has had great success against all conference teams, but I have to believe WVU has squandered more late leads against them than anyone. They had a 7 or point lead at that point.

3 freaking points the last 9-1/2 in your own building.
Wow, that’s much worse than just being horrible.

Fire Huggy Boy. He can't coach worth a lick. Too old. Need new blood.

The defense on that Kansas team is A1. Per KenPom it's the best in the nation and every time I watch it I'm inclined to agree.

Honestly this win was really impressive for them considering Azibuke only had 6 points and 7 rebounds.

It was ugly basketball, chances are you turn on a big 12 game this year and that's what you'll see.

Yes, I believe it to be the ugliest ball in the nation because it's the most physical. It was a complete meltdown on WVU's part. They controlled the whole game and then just began to throw the ball away time and again.

Whether they are one of the best or even the best defensively or not, for a team to go only score 3 points in 9-1/2 minutes is much more about that team rather than the defense that’s being played against them. I didn’t see one minute of the game but I have seen the last 3-4 games wvu has played against ku and know how they managed to choke down the stretch. I think tonight was more about another one of those efforts more than KU’s defense.

WVU was being mentioned as a possible 1 seed at one point but now they have lost 3 of the last 5 and go to #1 Baylor next for a probable loss making them 6-6 in the conference.

if by 'ugly' you mean 'winning'?
If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized...you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest

as i've written before, wvu does not have quality guards to go with their really fine bigs. and they don't win against elite teams without them. jevon carter and dexter miles are long gone.

wvu reminds me in ways of ou football coming in here getting their heads handed to them. yet, people still believed they were both elite. rubbish! wvu is the 4th or 5th best team in the b12. lon's guys may be better presently.

No I mean not high quality bball. Every year there are a bunch of posters on this board that over value the big 12. This year is no different.
