Four wins to open the season vaulted West Virginia into the ninth spot in the latest Associated Press poll, but the Mountaineers can't afford to rest, even with perennial Big 12 doormat Kansas heading to Morgantown, W.va., for a Saturday afternoon game.
The problem is that the Mountaineers (4-0, 2-0 Big 12) have not played a complete game yet in conference play, a scenario that -- if it continues -- could derail their Big 12 title aspirations in November.
"We have to line up and we have to practice with as much effort and energy and excitement as we can," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said.
