Hunter Dickinson, No. 3 Kansas Disappoint CBB Fans in Upset Loss to Unranked WVU

For the second time this season, the No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks have lost to an unranked opponent.

The Jayhawks fell to the West Virginia Mountaineers 91-85 on Saturday afternoon at WVU Coliseum, dropping to 15-3 on the season following a second-half collapse.

Kansas and West Virginia entered halftime tied at 51, but the Jayhawks collapsed in the final minutes of the contest as the Mountaineers began to pull away in part thanks to RaeQuan Battle, who finished with 23 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one block.

While Kansas saw five different players hit double digits in scoring, it wasn't enough as the team's defensive efforts sputtered down the stretch. Mountaineers forward Patrick Suemnick, who is averaging just 4.4 points this season, managed to put forth his best game of the season, finishing with 20 points.

Kevin McCullar Jr. led Kansas with 24 points to go along with four rebounds and five assists, and Hunter Dickinson notched 19 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks.

After the game, college basketball fans ripped the Jayhawks for their disappointing effort against a West Virginia team that entered the contest with a 6-11 record:

Kansas is now 5-7 at West Virginia in the Bill Self era. Given the level of talent on the team over the last several years, that's an unacceptable record on the road against the Mountaineers.

The Jayhawks will look to bounce back on Monday against unranked Cincinnati before traveling to face No. 24 Iowa State on Jan. 27.
