Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this whole “Kan vs WVU” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a ride. I was trying to figure out when and where these two teams, Kansas and West Virginia, were gonna face off. Started digging around, and it turns out they were set to play on Tuesday, December 31st, at 2 p.m. ET. The game was supposed to be at this place called Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence. That’s in Kansas, by the way.
So, I got a bit deeper into it. Both teams, Kansas and WVU, had pretty decent records, 9-2, and this was their first Big 12 game. I saw that WVU was heading to Allen Fieldhouse to take on the Kansas Jayhawks, who were ranked No. 7 at the time. It seemed like a big deal, both teams with the same record and all.
Then I found out some more juicy stuff. Kansas has been pretty dominant against WVU at Allen Fieldhouse, like, they’ve won 11 times and haven’t lost there to WVU. But at WVU Coliseum, it’s a different story, with Kansas winning only 5 out of 12 games. Overall, Kansas has been doing better in their recent games, winning 11 out of the last 13 against WVU. But, get this, WVU actually won their last game against Kansas, 91-85. Talk about a close one!
I stumbled upon some details about the game itself. This game with West Virginia was going to be Kansas’s fourth time starting the conference against the Mountaineers. And Kansas had won their last two Big 12 openers. There were these stats too, about the scoring margins and points off turnovers. Kansas was minus-14 and WVU was minus-7 in points off turnovers. Sounds like a bit of a messy game, huh?
Oh, and I learned that football is the big thing at WVU. They have this team called the West Virginia Mountaineers, and they play in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. I guess it’s a pretty big deal for them.
My Personal Take
- Dug around for the game details. Found out it was supposed to be on December 31st at Allen Fieldhouse.
- Checked out team records. Both were 9-2, making it their first Big 12 game.
- Got into the history between the teams. Kansas dominates at home, but it’s closer at WVU’s place.
- Explored past games. Kansas had an edge in recent matchups, but WVU won the last one.
- Learned about the game’s importance. It was a big conference opener for both teams.
- Discovered WVU’s football scene. It’s a big deal there, with the Mountaineers being their team.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure diving into the Kansas vs. West Virginia matchup. It was like piecing together a puzzle, figuring out who’s playing who, where they’re playing, and what’s happened between them before. Pretty interesting stuff if you’re into sports, or even if you’re just curious like me.
