West Virginia Is Where No. 1s Go to Die as Mountaineers Rout Top-Ranked Baylor

For the second consecutive week, the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 took an undefeated record into a hostile environment and emerged with an L, as No. 10 West Virginia knocked off No. 1 Baylor in Morgantown by a score of 89-68 Tuesday night.

Whatever you do, though, don't call it an upset.

West Virginia was the lower-ranked team, sure, but the Mountaineers were 5.5-point favorites, according to OddsShark.com. Moreover, KenPom.com projected West Virginia to win 72-67, giving Baylor only a 31 percent chance of winning.

But it only took a few possessions for 31 percent to feel overly optimistic, as Press Virginia had its way with the Bears.
