Former Cincinnati Bearcats and current West Virginia Mountaineers head coach Bob Huggins gets a $25,000 bonus for beating the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks as WVU did Tuesday night.

For Huggins, it's a specific bonus in his contract for regular-season wins against Kansas. It was the third consecutive season WVU has defeated KU in Morgantown.

In addition to the bonus, Huggins' Mountaineers recorded their first win against the AP No. 1 team since 1983. And WVU improved to 15-1 overall, 4-0 in the Big 12.

It was Kansas' second loss of the season.
