The eighteenth-ranked Kansas State will attempt to get back into the winner’s circle and rebound from an embarrassing loss to Iowa State while looking to keep their slim lead in their division as they get ready to resume conference play in a matchup against the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Big 12 conference rivals are scheduled to square off in the second and last installment of their two-game regular season series set to be contested Monday night and live from the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, WV.

The Wildcats wasted a golden opportunity to take a 1.5-game lead over Texas Tech and Kansas in the Big 12 when they were trounced 78-64 by the Cyclones on Saturday. The Wildcats snapped a four-game losing streak to the Mountaineers when they barely outlasted the Mountaineers 71-69 back on January 9 but failed to cover the line as a four-point home favorite. The Mountaineers, who are riding on a three-game losing streak, enter this affair as a 7½-point home underdog, according to BetOnline Sportsbook, with the total sitting at 133½ points.
