Bob Huggins’ West Virginia basketball team has won four games and lost six against Kansas in his 10 seasons as coach at his alma mater. While certainly competitive in head-to-head matchups, the Mountaineers have been unable to unseat the Jayhawks as Big 12 Conference champs.
Kansas (22-3, 10-2 Big 12), which leads Baylor by one game and West Virginia (20-5, 8-4) by two in the league race heading into Monday’s 8 p.m. game at Allen Fieldhouse between the Jayhawks and Mountaineers, has won 12 consecutive league crowns.
Huggins, who has been playing the Jayhawks regularly since West Virginia joined the Big 12 in 2012-13 and a year before that as coach at Kansas State, thinks he knows the reason for KU’s success.
