The WVU basketball team has no real rest between tough matches as the Mountaineers stay on the road to play Kansas State.

The Wildcats are the former team of WVU head coach Bob Huggins. The legendary coach was only at KSU for one year and each time he returns, he isn’t greeted with the warmest reception. He bolted the Wildcats to take the grand opportunity of heading home to be with the Mountaineers.

The Wildcats have gone through a coaching change after Huggins left with Frank Martin also bolting. Now, Bruce Weber is leading the Wildcats and doing a solid job. This season, the Wildcats have just two losses and are unbeaten in Big 12 Conference play after knocking off Iowa State.

Arizona State and Tulsa are the only two losses the Wildcats have this season. But any road game in the Big 12 will be a tough test. The Mountaineers saw that after squeaking out a win against Oklahoma State on Friday.

To win again on the road, the WVU basketball team needs to stop these three players for Kansas State.
