MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A snowstorm and traffic gridlock prevented top-ranked Kansas from arriving at the arena until an hour before playing West Virginia.

It didn’t get any easier for the Jayhawks on the court.

Kansas became the latest No. 1 team to fall this season, committing a season-high 22 turnovers in a 74-63 loss to No. 11 West Virginia on Tuesday night.

“We couldn’t get stops,” said Perry Ellis, who led the Jayhawks with 21 points. “They were getting anything they wanted driving down the lanes and that really hurt us. It shows we definitely have a lot to work on and I feel like we can get better and learn from this.”

Since beating No. 2 Oklahoma 109-106 in triple overtime a week ago, Kansas hasn’t broken 70 points in two games.

“The game in a nutshell is that they were so much more aggressive and quicker,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “They were way more athletic than we were and played above the rim. We didn’t do any of that.”

Kansas (14-2, 3-1 Big 12) shot 42 percent from the field and was held to its lowest point total of the season.

“They’re great at what they do,” Ellis said. “They were all over the place and we definitely give them credit.”

The Jayhawks joined North Carolina, Kentucky and Michigan State as No. 1 teams to lose this season.

Jaysean Paige scored 26 points and Devin Williams had 17 points and 12 rebounds for West Virginia (15-1, 4-0). The Mountaineers haven’t started a season this well since 1982, when it won 24 of its first 25 games.

West Virginia fans stormed the court and sang John Denver’s “Country Roads” after the Mountaineers’ first win over a top-ranked team in 33 years.

Williams had his seventh double-double of the season but the first over a span of seven games.
