Motley 23 points for No. 11 Baylor to beat No. 10 WVU 71-62 Ishmail Wainright is the lone senior for 11th-ranked Baylor, and was recognized with a video tribute after his final home game. This also likely was the Ferrell Center finale for Johnathan Motley, a standout junior and potential NBA lottery pick who delivered quite a farewell to Bears fans if this was indeed his last game there. Motley scored 19 of his 23 points after halftime in a 71-62 victory over 10th-ranked West Virginia on Monday night. The Bears avenged a 21-point loss in Morgantown on Jan. 10, when they were playing their first-ever game as No. 1 in the AP Top 25 after winning their first 15 games.

TCU stuns No. 1 Kansas 85-82 in Big 12 quarterfinals It didn't matter to TCU that it was playing just down the road from the Kansas campus in Lawrence, or that the Horned Frogs already had endured a taxing opening-round game in the Big 12 Tournament. It probably mattered a great deal that the Jayhawks were missing star freshman Josh Jackson. Regardless, the spunky underdogs from Fort Worth held on after squandering an 11-point second-half lead, and Desmond Bane's three free throws with 2.5 seconds left gave the Horned Frogs an 85-82 victory over the nation's top-ranked team in the quarterfinal round Thursday.

Brown sends K-State past No. 9 Bears 70-64 in Big 12 tourney Barry Brown and D.J. Johnson heard what critics were saying about Kansas State, all those rumors that coach Bruce Weber was on the hot-seat and the Wildcats were an NCAA Tournament long shot. They provided a defiant answer to all those people Thursday night. Brown had 21 points, including a series of crucial foul shots down the stretch, and Johnson had 13 points and seven rebounds to help the Wildcats upset ninth-ranked Baylor 70-64 in the Big 12 Tournament -- clinching not only a spot in the semifinals but likely a berth in the NCAA's field of 68.

Carter leads No. 11 W Virginia past Texas in Big 12 tourney West Virginia's Bob Huggins sure sounds motivated by last year's runner-up finish at the Big 12 Tournament, but don't ask the often-irascible coach whether his players feel the same way. "I don't know, man. You're asking me to know what they're thinking," Huggins said after his No. 11 Mountaineers cruised to a 63-53 win over Texas in the quarterfinals Thursday night. "I wish I knew."

No. 23 Iowa St beats Oklahoma St 92-83 in Big 12 tourney Monte Morris had the ball in his hands with Iowa State's victory assured, knowing he was only an assist shy of the second triple-double in the history of the Big 12 Tournament. The senior star held the ball until teammate Naz Mitrou-Long came over and took it so he'd get the turnover instead when the shot clock ran out. The moment at the conclusion of the No. 23 Cyclone's 92-83 victory over Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals Thursday was evidence of two things: How selfless and mature Morris has become during his career in Ames, and how respected he is by Mitrou-Long and the rest of his teammates.

Vick leads No. 4 Kansas to 92-56 win over Tennessee State Tennessee State coach Dana Ford forked over the cash to watch the online feed of Kansas playing in Italy last summer, and $40 for the pay-per-view of the Jayhawks' exhibition game against Missouri.

Mykhailiuk helps No. 4 Kansas rout South Dakota State, 98-64 It was late in the first half Friday night that Kansas began walking the ball up court, the searing temperature inside Allen Fieldhouse and the Jayhawks' shortened bench having left them spent.

The senior sharpshooter poured in a career-high 27 points, Lagerald Vick finished with 22 and the fourth-ranked Jayhawks routed Summit League favorite South Dakota State 98-64 in their first game since topping seventh-ranked Kentucky in the Champions Classic earlier this week. read more http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=400989175

Nobody on the court seemed to be doing it for him. But despite going the final 8 minutes, 43 seconds without a field goal, the No. 22 Bears somehow managed to hang on to beat Wisconsin 70-65.
