A balanced effort allowed the Mountaineers to coast to victory over Kansas State.
Round two wasn't as exciting as round one, and that is perfectly fine with Mountaineer fans. After surviving in double overtime in Manhattan, #9 West Virginia (17-3, 6-2) mostly cruised in Morgantown over Kansas State (12-8, 2-6) by a score of 70-55 on Tuesday night at the Coliseum.
Getting his first start of the season, Nathan Adrian scored the first 5 points for the Mountaineers. Adrian replaced Esa Ahmad, who is dealing with a knee sprain but was available to play if necessary, according to Coach Huggins.
