One could be forgiven for expecting K-State to lose today in Morgantown. But it’s unlikely that anyone would have predicted how it would happen.
With D.J. Johnson sidelined after suffering a sprain against Kansas on Monday, the Wildcats simply couldn’t get the ball to stay inside the rim as they fell 85-66 to West Virginia at the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown. The plague affected all quarters of the shooting game, as K-State (16-9, 5-7) was only 35% from the field, 33% from three, and even a miserable 68% from the free throw line.
Turnovers were also a problem, relatively speaking, as unlike in Manhattan the Mountaineers won the turnover battle.
