MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia will play five Saturday-Monday combinations during the nine-week Big 12 schedule, according to the finalized league basketball schedule.
The Mountaineers released their nonconference schedule months ago, making Thursday’s news simply about the sequence of its Big 12 round-robin.
Most notable:
— Big 12 action opens once more with two road games, Dec. 29 at Oklahoma State and then New Year’s Day at Kansas State. Because of West Virginia’s cross-country travel issues, coach Bob Huggins continues advocating for his team getting the early road swing before classes begin.
— West Virginia hosts 13-time defending league champion Kansas on Monday, Jan.
