Staten leads No. 18 West Virginia over Wofford West Virginia's Juwan Staten has responded to naysayers with his best two-game stretch of the young season. The Big 12 preseason player of the year recently saw a TV network's list of top 10 college point guards -- and he wasn't among them. That upset him a bit and he started doing something about it. After scoring a season-high 24 points Saturday against North Carolina State at Madison Square Garden, Staten had 17 points and 10 rebounds in No. 18 West Virginia's 77-44 win over Wofford on Monday night.

No. 22 Baylor holds on 70-66 over Southern U Baylor made its season debut in the Top 25, then had to make its free throws to avoid an upset on the same day.

No. 25 TCU tops Grambling 80-39 in return to poll TCU's return to the rankings for the first time in almost 16 years doesn't mean coach Trent Johnson is finished building the program. It means he's just getting started. "When this thing is built, is when we're having a conversation that we're in multiple NCAA tournaments -- four out of five years, five out of six years," Johnson said after the No. 25 Frogs beat Grambling State 80-39 Monday night in their first game as ranked team since January 1999.

O'Neale helps No. 22 Baylor rout Norfolk State 92-51 The only thing that could slow Royce O'Neale in Baylor's game on Tuesday was his own coach. O'Neale scored 15 points in a 23-2 run to open the second half, and Baylor coach Scott Drew pulled him and other starters from the game with 12:28 remaining. "Everybody was looking to him, he was shooting with confidence and he wasn't forcing shots, taking bad shots," Drew said. "That's why he was 7-for-9. The only person who stopped Royce tonight was me by taking him out, so he was outstanding." O'Neale finished with a career-best 23 points in leading No. 22 Baylor past Norfolk State 92-51.

Mason had 18 points and seven assists in another virtuoso performance Sunday, helping the No. 13 Jayhawks pull away late in a 76-61 victory in their nonconference finale.
