West Virginia Mountaineers: Are They Ready to Dance?
West Virginia rates well in the metrics as they are the 20th ranked team in BPI, 16th in KenPom, and 21st in SAG, but at some point, we have to look at the actual results, right? The Mountaineers have now won four of their last five games and will make the NCAA Tournament, but this stretch is on the back of them losing three straight.
The Jayhawks won both meetings this season with it being a blow out in Morgantown and a close encounter in Lawrence.
Kansas Jayhawks: Quad One Kings
Kansas saw their regular season come to an end with a 75-59 defeat at #9 Texas. The Longhorns scored eight of the first 10 points of the game and never looked back as they were impressive from start to finish. Trailing by eight points at the half, the Jayhawks never found their next gear sputtered into the conference tournament. Kansas trailed by as many as 17 points, never led by more than two, and could not cover the +4.0-point spread.
Jalen Wilson had 23 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, and one steal in the game. Kevin McCullar Jr. added eight points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in the loss.
After 31 games, Kansas is scoring 75.6 points per game, shooting 46.4% from the field, and assisting on 16.9 made shots. The Jayhawks are allowing 68.2 points, grabbing 36.3 rebounds, blocking 3.9 shots, and stealing the ball 8.7 times.
