VAVEL College Basketball Pick 'Em Week Six

West Virginia vs Oklahoma. History on the line. The Mountaineers have a shot to put themselves in the college basketball books should they knock off the second-ranked Sooners.

For the first time since 1997, the same team will play the #1 and #2 ranked team in the same week. Back in 97, a lowly Missouri Tigers team knocked off the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks and lost a close game to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. It's been 19 long years since a team has played the top two ranked teams in back-to-back games in the same week, now, we'll get to see it. 

Kansas was the last team to beat the top two ranked teams in consecutive games defeating #2 LSU and #1 UNLV in 1989. In 1990, Oklahoma knocked off back-to-back #1s in Missouri and Kansas. Can West Virginia put themselves in the history books with a win and solidify themselves as true National Championship contenders? We'll find out.
