How to Watch Kansas State at (15/11) West Virginia: game time, tv, radio, streaming, odds, trivia

Just when the Wildcats need a big road win and a boost, they’re running up against a team already mired in a major skid and now wracked by the flu. For once, luck somehow seems to be in K-State’s favor. The question: can they capitalize?

The games

Kansas State (16-6, 5-4 Big 12) visits the West Virginia Mountaineers (16-6, 5-4 Big 12). Teddy Allen led the Mountaineers to an eight-point win at Bramlage on New Year’s Day to improve West Virginia’s edge in the all-time series to 9-5. Worse, the Wildcats have lost four straight in Morgantown.

Tipoff

Saturday, February 3 at 3:00pm CT, WVU Coliseum (14,000) in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Odds

West Virginia is an 8-point favorite, with the total at 146, meaning Vegas expects a 77-69 win — exactly the same score by which the Mountaineers won at Bramlage earlier this season. But OddsShark, whose projections don’t really care about influenza the way you’d expect Vegas to, is fully back in the Wildcat bag. They project a 74-69 K-State victory.
