Mens/Womens .Va. -- Its NCAA chances all but gone, West Virginia
showed it still has some fight left in a lacklustre season. West Virginia built
a 25-point lead and had to withstand 41 points by freshman Andrew Wiggins and a
furious comeback by No. 8 Kansas to upset the Jayhawks 92-86 in their Big 12
regular-season finale Saturday. "We just had to stay composed, not get too down,
dont say, dang, theyre going to come back," said Eron Harris, who led West
Virginia with 28 points. "Youve got to always have confidence in your team that
youre going to win." The Mountaineers (17-14, 9-9 Big 12) could have finished
with a thud like they had in losing four of their five previous games that
reduced them to playing for a spot in the NIT. The young Mountaineers, who have
no seniors, watched Kansas tear into the deficit behind Wiggins, who set a
season high for scoring and a freshman record for the Jayhawks before fouling
out in the final seconds. He also eight rebounds, four blocks and five steals,
to go along with 12-of-18 shooting from the field. Ben McLemore has the Kansas
single-game freshman scoring record with 36 last season. West Virginia made some
clutch free throws in the final minute to thwart the comeback and keep coach Bob
Huggins sanity intact. "When we get a little more experience, well handle those
things a little better," said Huggins, who earned $25,000 for beating Kansas in
the regular season, one of the bonus clauses in a 2012 contract extension. Juwan
Staten added 24 points and Devin Williams, WVUs star freshman, had a season-high
22 points along with 13 rebounds. It marked the first time this season that
Kansas had allowed three opposing players to score 20 points. "I thought Staten
controlled the game," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Harris was terrific and
Williams was by far the best big in the game. "They were terrific and then we
didnt guard at all. Weve gone through stretches this year where we havent
guarded well, but thats probably as poor as weve been. But give them credit,
they were a lot better than us offensively than we were defensively." West
Virginia shot 53 per cent from the floor and outrebounded Kansas 37-31. Perry
Ellis added 14 points for Kansas (23-8, 14-4), which clinched its 10th straight
regular-season title a week ago and had little riding on this game. The Jayhawks
will have a first-round bye in the conference tournament that begins Wednesday
in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas was without 7-foot freshman Joel Embiid, who sat out
his second straight game to rest a lower back strain. Tarik Black, starting in
Embiids place, went to the bench with his second foul four minutes into the
game. The Mountaineers led nearly the entire game but fell apart down the
stretch. Still, West Virginia managed to beat a ranked team for the third time
in seven tries over the past month. Kansas went more than seven minutes without
a field goal spanning the halves and found itself with its biggest deficit of
the season, 64-39, with 16:43 left in the game after a Harris 3-pointer. But the
Mountaineers have had trouble holding double-digit leads this season, and Kansas
-- especially Wiggins -- was hardly done. West Virginia struggled against Kansas
full-court press, and Wiggins followed Landen Lucas three-point play with four
free throws and a 3-pointer over a 47-second span to pull Kansas within 78-68
with 6:13 remaining. Wiggins scored 14 straight points at one point for the
Jayhawks. Frank Masons 3-pointer trimmed the deficit to 85-80 with 1:24 left.
But West Virginia made 7 of 8 free throws in the final minute to hang on.
Backups Lucas and Jamari Traylor couldnt keep up with Williams, who scored 10
straight points for the Mountaineers at one point. He had 18 in the first half
to give the Mountaineers a 50-38 halftime lead -- the most points given up by
the Jayhawks in the first half this season. "I thought Devin played really
well," Huggins said. "(He) scored it through contact and made open shots, which
he does in practice. And then he rebounds the ball for us. Hes the one guy who
can really go rebound it in a crowd." West Virginia had its second sellout of
the season, thanks to hundreds of Kansas fans who made the 900-mile trek east
and those especially coming to see Wiggins, who played his high school ball on
the other side of the state at Huntington Prep. "Ive never seen him play like
that," Huggins said. "When he makes shots hes really difficult to defend."
