TOP 25 ROUNDUP VCU routs George Washington behind freshman Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 28, 2015 @ 2:00 am By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 28, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News RICHMOND, Va.— Freshman Terry Larrier scored 15 points and No. 14 VCU pulled away with a 16-2 run early in the second half to beat George Washington 72-48 on Tuesday night for its 12th consecutive victory. Larrier's point total was his highest since conference play began for the Rams (17-3, 7-0 Atlantic 10), and it came on a night when VCU scoring leader Treveon Graham managed just seven points on a still-tender left ankle and struggling Melvin Johnson continued to do so, scoring eight on 4 of 10 shooting. Kethan Savage scored 18 to lead George Washington (16-5, 6-2) and Joe McDonald had 11. The Colonials went behind for good when VCU scored 12 of the last 14 points of the first half to lead 29-21 at the intermission. After George Washington used a 6-2 burst to get within 31-27 early in the second half, the Rams turned up their defensive pressure and turned the contest into a runaway. No. 17 WEST VIRGINIA 65, KANSAS STATE 59: At Manhattan, Kan., Tarik Phillip matched a career-high 12 points and West Virginia, relying on its high-pressure defense, shut down Kansas State for the victory. In a game marred by fouls and poor play, the Mountaineers (17-3, 5-2 Big 12) forced the Wildcats (12-9, 5-3) into 25 turnovers while holding them to 36 percent shooting from the field. West Virginia's leading scorer, Juwan Staten, had just 11 points while dealing with foul trouble all night. Second-leading scorer Devin Williams had eight points and nine rebounds. OKLAHOMA STATE 64, No. 20 BAYLOR 53: At Stillwater, Okla., Phil Forte scored 16 points and Le'Bryan Nash added 13 to help Oklahoma State defeat Baylor. Forte, a 5-foot-11 shooting guard, made 4 of 7 3-pointers and matched a career high with five rebounds for the Cowboys, who claimed their second win over a ranked opponent this season. Michael Cobbins had six points, a season-high 11 rebounds and matched a career high with five blocks. Anthony Hickey had eight points and a career-high 10 assists and freshman Tavarius Shine added a season-high 11 points for the Cowboys (14-6, 4-4 Big 12), who will host No. 24 Oklahoma on Saturday. XAVIER 66, No. 21 GEORGETOWN 53: At Washington, Myles Davis scored 19 points in his third start of the season, and Xavier held Georgetown without a field goal for more than 11 minutes in the first half in a victory that completed a sweep of the Hoyas. Davis went 6 for 9 from the field, including back-to-back 3-pointers to cap an 18-4 run in which the Musketeers totally shut down Georgetown's motion offense. Georgetown got as close as seven late in the second half, but the Hoyas went cold again — going more than three minutes without a field goal — as Xavier (14-7, 5-4 Big East) closed with a 12-6 run to snap a five-game road losing streak.
