The Mountaineers (19-13) can make it a sure bet Thursday afternoon by beating top-seeded and third-ranked Kansas (25-6) in the Big 12 quarterfinals in Kansas City, Mo.
West Virginia opened the conference tournament Wednesday night with a 78-62 thumping of ninth-seeded Texas Tech. The Mountaineers established a 43-35 halftime lead and then clamped down on the Red Raiders to put the game away.
