Kansas State basketball travels to Morgantown, West Virginia, on Tuesday to face West Virginia in its first Big 12 road game at WVU Coliseum.

The Wildcats are 11-3 overall and 1-0 in the conference after beating Central Florida, 77-52, on Saturday, while West Virginia (5-9, 0-1) lost its conference opener at No. 2-ranked Houston.

West Virginia, the only team in the Big 12 with a losing record, is a much different team now than the one that started the season. Starting guards RaeQuan Battle, Noah Farrakhan and Kerr Kriisa have only played a handful of games since becoming eligible, and Georgetown transfer forward Akok Akok missed seven games with an injury.

Battle (Washington, Montana State) and Farrakhan (East Carolina, Eastern Michigan) were held up by the old two-time transfer rule, while Kriisa was suspended the first nine games for improper benefits while at Arizona. Battle is averaging 21.5 points, Farrakhan 14.2 points and Kriisa 9.4 points and 5.8 assists.

The Mountaineers are without forward Jesse Edwards (14.8 ppg, 8.7 rebounds), who broke his wrist on Dec. 16. Iona transfer forward Quinn Slazinski, the only player to start all 14 games, averages 15 points.

West Virginia interim head coach Josh Eilert is a Kansas State graduate and was a graduate assistant with the Wildcats under Bob Huggins in 2006-07, before following him to Morgantown the following year.

Cam Carter averages 16.2 points, Tylor Perry 15.7 points and 5.4 assists, and Arthur Kaluma 15.1 points and 8.4 rebounds for K-State.

W.Va. Gov. Morrisey announces another mining-related death


MARSHALL COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey made an announcement Friday about another mining-related fatality in the state within 24 hours – the latest in northern West Virginia.

The governor released the following statement:

“Denise and I were deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Darin Reece, who passed away following an accident at the Ohio County Mine. We extend our condolences to his family, his fellow miners, and all those who knew him. He served as a Continuous Miner Section Supervisor and was part of a workforce that takes on difficult and dangerous work every day.

“The impact of these events reaches far beyond the job site. It is felt by families, coworkers, and entire communities. That weight is even greater today, as this marks the second loss of life in West Virginia’s mining community in less than 24 hours.

“The West Virginia Office of Miners’ Health, Safety, and Training is on site and conducting a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident.

“We ask West Virginians to keep Darin’s loved ones and the entire mining community in their thoughts during this difficult time.”

Earlier on Friday, Morrisey announced another mining-related death in Raleigh County in the southern part of the state.

West Virginia GOP closes primary to registered Republicans starting in May

West Virginia GOP closes primary to registered Republicans starting in May


West Virginia voters heading to the polls for May’s primary will see a major change this year – the Republican Party’s primary will be closed.

Starting with this election, only voters registered as Republicans will be allowed to vote in the Republican primary. Independent and unaffiliated voters will no longer be able to participate in those primaries, a shift from previous elections.

With the deadline to change party affiliation approaching, officials are urging voters to check their registration status now. Jimmy Willis said voters who want to take part in the Republican primary should confirm their party affiliation and make changes if needed.

“They’ll have to look on the Secretary of State’s website or go to the county courthouse and get their party affiliation switched if they know they’re not a registered Republican and would like to vote in the Republican primaries, they can just go do that,” Willis said. “But, if they’re unsure, they can just look it up online and go from there. But, it’s just important that people know that they’re going to have to be Republicans to vote in the primary this year.”

The last day to change party affiliation is April 21. West Virginia’s primary is May 12. More information, click HERE.
