K-State, like West Virginia, knows about falling short of expectations

MANHATTAN, Kan. — West Virginia will battle Kansas State in a meeting of teams thought to be at the top of the Big 12 in October. But injuries have taken a toll on both teams and they are still looking for their first league win.

“We need a win bad for a lot of reasons,” WVU coach Bob Huggins said Tuesday.

The Mountaineers (8-6, 0-2 Big 12) have been close in losses to Texas Tech and Texas, and Huggins pointed out the lack of free throws (18-of-32) against the Red Raiders and how WVU was in a one-possession game against the Longhorns in the final 2 minutes.
