Virginia squeaks by Kansas, 62-61 Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Feb. 17, 2015 @ 2:00 am By The Associated Press Posted Feb. 17, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Juwan Staten made a layup with 4 seconds left to lift No. 23 West Virginia to a 62-61 victory over No. 8 Kansas on Monday night. Staten finished with 20 points to give the Mountaineers (20-6, 8-5 Big 12) their first 20-win season in four years. It was Staten's first field goal over the final eight minutes after he had gone to the bench with leg cramps. After Staten made a spin move around Frank Mason III and hit a left-handed layup, the Jayhawks' Perry Ellis caught a long pass but missed a layup between two defenders just before the final buzzer. Ellis finished with 19 points, Mason had 18 and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 14 points for Kansas (21-5, 10-3). Jevon Carter added 13 points for West Virginia, including back-to-back 3-pointers to put West Virginia ahead 60-59 with 2:31 remaining. Mason made a layup with 2:13 left to give Kansas the lead, but the Jayhawks didn't score again. He missed another layup with nine seconds left and the ball went out of bounds, setting up the final possession for West Virginia. Ellis had 15 points after halftime, capping a 10-0 run to start the second half with a 3-pointer to put Kansas ahead 40-33. But the Jayhawks later went seven minutes without a field goal. No. 2 VIRGINIA 61, PITTSBURGH 49: At Charlottesville, Va., Malcolm Brogdon scored 18 points and Virginia used a late 8-0 scoring run to win The Cavaliers (24-1, 12-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) three times held Pittsburgh scoreless for more than 5 minutes, and they needed all three to overcome their own problems putting points on the board. The victory allowed Virginia to tie the best start to a season in program history, first accomplished in the 1981-82 season. Jamel Artis scored 20 and Sheldon Jeter 10 for the Panthers (17-10, 6-7). Pittsburgh cut a 10-point deficit to three with just under 8 minutes to play, but the Cavaliers then reeled off eight straight. Anthony Gill added 12 points and London Perrantes had 10 points and six assists for Virginia. No. 6 VILLANOVA 80, SETON HALL 54: At Villanova, Pa., Darrun Hilliard scored 18 points and Daniel Ochefu had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Villanova. Dylan Ennis had 12 points and Ryan Arcidiacono and JayVaughn Pinkston each scored 10 to help Villanova (24-2, 11-2 Big East) win its seventh straight game. Isaiah Whitehead scored led the way with 15 points for Seton Hall (15-11, 5-9). Sterling Gibbs had 12 before he was ejected for a flagrant foul in the second half. The Pirates have lost five in a row. Coming off a comeback win at No. 19 Butler, the Wildcats led from the start and never let up in avenging a 66-61 overtime loss at Seton Hall on Jan. 3. No. 19 BUTLER 58, CREIGHTON 56: At Omaha, Neb., Roosevelt Jones made the winning layup with 1.9 seconds to lift Butler to a win over Creighton and avoid getting upset by the Big East's last-place team. The Bulldogs (19-7, 9-4 Big East) wouldn't have been in position for Jones' game-winner if Alex Barlow hadn't scrambled to rebound Kellen Dunham's missed shot a few seconds earlier. Devin Brooks missed Creighton's last-second 3-pointer.
