No. 17 West Virginia 65, Kansas State 59: Tarik Phillip delivered a career high-tying 12 points off the bench as the balanced Mountaineers posted an ugly road victory in a Big 12 contest.

Devin Williams added eight points and nine rebounds for West Virginia (17-3, 5-2 Big 12), which became the first team in the nation to win 10 games away from home this season. Mountaineers point guard Juwan Staten, who scored a career-high 35 points against the Wildcats last season, finished with 11 on 3-of-7 shooting.

Marcus Foster went 4-of-12 en route to 15 points for Kansas State (12-9, 5-3), which committed a season-high 25 turnovers and went 20-of-35 from the foul line, including 15-of-22 in the second half. Wildcats forward Nino Williams, who had averaged 20 points and 7.3 rebounds in his last three games, suffered a knee injury in the first half and watched the second half from the bench.

The teams combined for 27 turnovers and 25 fouls during a hideous first half that ended with West Virginia ahead 26-24 as neither team shot above 30 percent in the session. The Mountaineers began to heat up midway through the second half, pushing their lead to 49-41 on a three-point play by Phillip, but Foster scored four points to rally the Wildcats within 51-48 with just over six minutes left.

West Virginia only made two field goals in the final 8 1/2 minutes, but it made enough free throws to keep Kansas State at a comfortable distance. Foster drained a 3-pointer with 24 seconds left and Wesley Iwundu tipped in a Foster miss on the next possession to get the Wildcats within 64-59, but Nigel Johnson's missed 3-pointer after Staten made 1-of-2 foul shots essentially sealed the outcome.
