Overview
- Honor Huff scored 23 points, with 17 after halftime, and Brenen Lorient added 18 as West Virginia secured a marquee home win.
- A 16-0 surge turned a 59-51 Kansas lead into a decisive West Virginia advantage, with Jasper Floyd contributing during the run and pressuring Darryn Peterson.
- Kansas shot 31% after the break and was outrebounded 38-32, extending its road difficulties to a 1-3 mark this season.
- Freshman Darryn Peterson finished with 23 points but made one second-half field goal, with his season still shaped by earlier hamstring trouble and cramping.
- The result moved West Virginia to 11-5 (2-1 Big 12) and dropped Kansas to 11-5 (1-2), with the AP noting the Jayhawks could fall out of the Top 25; Kansas hosts No. 3 Iowa State next and West Virginia visits No. 7 Houston.
