This could end up being one of the biggest games in deciding the regular season conference champion. #12 Kansas (14-3, 4-1) travels to #2 West Virginia (15-2, 4-1) in a battle of highly ranked, one loss conference teams. Kansas survived for a one point victory over Kansas State on the weekend, while West Virginia dropped a close road loss at Texas Tech. The quick turnaround from two difficult, emotional games could be apparent. I like West Virginia, with their stifling Press Virginia, to take advantage of a not fully rested Kansas squad.
76-74 West Virginia.
Oklahoma State @ Baylor

It seems a little early in conference play to call a game a “must win” but this game certainly seems like a must win for Baylor (11-6, 1-4).
