Some truths about WVU’s press

You can find West Virginia at No. 13 in Luke Winn’s weekly power rankings, and in his reviews of both No. 3 Kansas and the Mountaineers, there’s some worthy information about the state of the Mountaineers and their pressure.

A footnote from the WVU-Kansas press charting in the Jayhawks’ blurb:

The Feb. 13 loss to Kansas was just the fourth time all season that the Mountaineers forced a lower turnover rate than their opponent. (KU’s was 24.6%, WVU’s was 17.6%).

The other three times that happened were Jan. 3, at Texas Tech; Jan. 18, vs. Oklahoma; and Jan. 21, at Kansas State.

West Virginia lost all of those games, too. The Mountaineers are 0–4 in games in which they lose the TO% battle, and 20–2 when they win it.
