No. 17 West Virginia 86, TCU 85
(OT): Freshman Jevon Carter hit two free throws with 0.9 seconds left
in overtime to help the Mountaineers escape an upset bid by the
visiting Horned Frogs.
Carter, who finished with eight
points, was fouled going for a breakaway layup just after TCU's Trey
Zeigler had put the Horned Frogs up by one with 1.8 seconds to go.
Juwan Staten had 18 points and a career-high 12 assists for West
Virginia (16-3, 4-2 Big 12), while Devin Williams added 18 points and
12 rebounds.
Kyan Anderson scored 22 points to
lead six double-figure scorers for TCU (14-5, 1-5), while Charles
Hill Jr. added a season-high 13 points off the bench. Kenrich
Williams had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Horned Frogs, and
Amric Fields added 11 and six boards off the pine.
The game was close throughout the
first half, with eight lead changes, and West Virginia could manage
only a one-point halftime lead. TCU went on a 10-0 run to take a lead
late in the second half, but Daxter Miles Jr.'s runner tied the game
with 1.1 seconds to go to send the game to overtime.
TCU scored the first four points
of the extra period and led by four with 37 seconds to go on
Brandon Parrish's free throws, but Miles Jr. hit a 3-pointer to pull
the Mountaineers within one. Williams hit one of two free throws with
27 seconds to go to push the Horned Frogs' lead to two, but Miles Jr.
hit another 3 — this one with 11 seconds left — to put the
Mountaineers up one, setting up the frenetic finish.
