How to Watch: K-State vs. West Virginia

The Game

The struggling West Virginia Mountaineers (3-6, 1-5 Big 12) make a trip to Manhattan to play the 24th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) as both teams try to build to a strong finish.

K-State is probably out of the Big 12 Championship picture after their third loss last week, but the Wildcats have pride to play for, as well as improving their bowl game destination.

Meanwhile, West Virginia is down but not out. They can become bowl eligible if they win out, which while difficult, isn’t impossible.

Previously

Meanwhile, the Mountaineers suffered a drubbing by the Texas Tech Red Raiders, losing 38-17 in Morgantown, extending their losing streak to five games.
