MANHATTAN, Kan. — West Virginia coach Bob Huggins has a play card packed with 75 offensive sets, yet he couldn’t seem to find anything that would work against Kansas State on Monday. The Mountaineers’ pressure defence caused several lengthy first-half droughts for Kansas State, and at one point West Virginia had built a 25-15 lead with just over three minutes to go. It took little-used guard Brian Patrick, whose career-best night came against West Virginia last season, to get the Wildcats going. Kansas State trailed 65-55 with 5 1/2 minutes left when it made a final run. Kansas State scorched the nets in a win at Iowa State to open Big 12 play.
