The Baylor Bears (18-3, 6-2) welcome the return game with the West Virginia Mountaineers (13-7, 2-5) hoping to stay in the race for the Big XII Title.
Conference life has been rough on a tough West Virginia team. Tax Sherman and Malik Curry, two impressive guards with the ball in their hands, just haven’t been able to power the Mountaineers to success so far this season. They’ve not played many close games, either. WVU has fallen to 64th in KenPom, a fringe NCAA Tournament team desperately seeking some signature wins.
In other words, the defending Big XII and national champs will be facing a hungry, dangerous team.
