(AP) -- Baylor and West Virginia appear to be hitting their strides with March just around the corner.

The 19th-ranked Bears look to build on one of their more impressive wins Saturday when they host the 20th-ranked Mountaineers, who could be out for revenge after getting blown out in Morgantown earlier this month.

Both schools have won three in a row as they battle for positioning in the Big 12, widely considered to be the toughest conference in the nation this season. West Virginia (22-6, 10-5) is tied with No. 12 Iowa State and No. 16 Oklahoma for second place, one game behind No. 8 Kansas with three to go - including another much-anticipated showdown with the Jayhawks on Tuesday following the Mountaineers' 62-61 win Feb. 16.
