Local article: UK visit to WVU first in 48 years

I remember the 1970 game at WVU. As I recall UK was ahead by 11 at the half in a high scoring game and almost lost due to a second half comeback by WVU.
 
As a Kansas fan, i can say that this is the place in the current Big XII where we always expect to come out with a victory and rarely do.

Missouri was that once. Manhattan has been that for a few years also.

They play a style that dares the refs to call a foul every play but knows they won't. I'll be interested to watch this game to see if this is unique to KU games or a general home court advantage they have.

Best of luck. There's no more punchable face in CBB than Bob Huggins.
 
I think the last time I was in West Virginia was in 1971 at Camden Park.
 
They will be more seasoned than all our young freshmen and they are tough at their place.

Johnny Cox vs Jerry West...kinda surprising that UK and WVU have played so few times. I think it is too bad that through expansion, the ACC or SEC did not bring WVU in.

Kind of like the whistle at allen foulhouse you guys get . Bill Self has the kind of head that scared his hair off it's so ugly .
 
I just hope the team and any fans that go are treated better than in Bloomington or it might be another 48 years before we come back again.
