Kansas Jayhawks drill West Virginia in Big 12 Tournament as Bob Huggins is ejected early

Kansas' men's basketball fans certainly enjoyed the play of the fastbreaking Jayhawks, who raced to a 15-point lead nine minutes into Thursday's Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal at T-Mobile Center.

The same can't be said of veteran West Virginia coach Bob Huggins. He picked up a pair of technical fouls following a technical call on WVU guard Taz Sherman and was ejected with 9:58 remaining in the first half of KU's 87-63 victory.

KU's Jalen Wilson hit five of six technical foul shots, giving KU a 24-4 lead. Wilson finished with 15 points and five boards for the No. 6-ranked and top-seeded Jayhawks (26-6), who advanced into Friday's 6 p.m. semifinal matchup against No. 5 seed TCU, a 65-60 winner over Texas in Thursday's quarterfinals.
