^^ I'm curious, why exactly would the B12 be protecting Kansas? That loss puts West Virginia on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. Kansas was a lock, regardless of the result. So if you believe in Conspiracy theories, which I don't, why would the B12 want Kansas to win this game? More teams in the tourney means more money for the conference, right?
One other thing to point out in that game is the Fighting Huggies had their defense extended out quite far, so Kansas attacked the rim much more, resulting in more fouls. 35-2 is a strange stat, I will admit, but making a statement like The B12 was protecting KU is ridiculous.
