The Kansas Jayhawks completely annihilated the Cowboys on the road, and they will continue that roadtrip by heading all the way out to Morgantown to take on the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Kansas comes into the game at 3 in the AP Poll and 4 in the Coaches Poll, avoiding a big loss thanks to their ranked win.

The Jayhawks lead the all-time series 19-6, but they are only 4-6 at WVU Coliseum. Despite that, they have won the last six matchups and 11 of the last 12. Bill Self is 21-6 against West Virginia while at Kansas (two wins were vacated), while West Virginia interim coach Josh Eilert has never faced Kansas.
