It’s definitely a different version of a big week for Kansas. Both of their games on ESPN are set in primetime, featuring the second meeting between their in-state rivals Kansas State on Monday and a disappointing Texas team Saturday night. The College Gameday crew will still be heading to Lawrence for the game.

One of the key storylines will likely be if Texas can improve with Myck Kabongo back. Iowa State will get to see him first earlier in the week on Wednesday.

West Virginia will be another key watch this week. With a three-game winning streak, it will interesting to see if they can improve with a big road game against Baylor on Wednesday and they host a very beatable Texas Tech team on Saturday. With the Bears having to play Kansas State on Saturday, the Mountaineers are in position to finally get out of the bottom four group in the Big 12.
