Wiggins leads No. 8 KU past West Virginia 83-69 Every time West Virginia coach Bob Huggins looked to the scorer's table, Kansas coach Bill Self was getting ready to send another line change into the game. You see, depth is a luxury for the eighth-ranked Jayhawks. It's a liability for the Mountaineers. So as the fouls began to pile up Saturday, Kansas was able to keep shuffling fresh bodies into the game. That allowed the defending Big 12 champions to bide their time until their starters could take over down the stretch, spurring them on to an 83-69 victory.

Kansas State ends No. 15 Texas' seven-game winning streak Texas coach Rick Barnes understands how imperative the latter half of the conference schedule is for Kansas State. His team, however, didn't receive the message. After escaping TCU with a win on Tuesday, the Longhorns went through a hangover at the hands of the Wildcats. With only one road win in conference play, the Wildcats needed to continue their dominance on their home court and they capitalized in almost every facet of the game. Marcus Foster scored a career-high 34 points on 13-of-16 shooting, and Kansas State beat No. 15 Texas 74-57 on Saturday, ending the Longhorns' seven-game winning streak.

Ejim scored a Big 12-record 48 points, making 20 of 24 shots, and grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds to lead No. 16 Iowa State past TCU 84-69 on Saturday, keeping the Horned Frogs winless in the conference.

OK State's Marcus Smart shoves fan late in loss to Texas Tech Marcus Smart hustled back on defense to prevent a dunk and went careening into the crowd behind the basket. He was helped to his feet with only seconds remaining and No. 19 Oklahoma State on its way to a fourth straight defeat. That's when all the trouble started. Suddenly incensed, Smart got in the face of a Texas Tech fan who appeared to say something to the star guard. Smart shoved him with two hands. The man stumbled backward a bit but didn't fall. Teammates quickly pulled Smart away from the fracas, and he pointed back in the direction of the fan. Smart was called for a technical foul but was not ejected. He remained on the bench until the final buzzer. As fans stormed the court to celebrate Texas Tech's 65-61 win Saturday night, Smart was escorted off the floor by a man wearing Oklahoma State colors -- with a uniformed police officer trailing right behind.

West Virginia hands No. 11 Iowa State its worst loss of season It was tough to tell what Remi Dibo enjoyed more: being the centerpiece of West Virginia's 3-point show against No. 11 Iowa State, or clamping down on Big 12 scoring leader Melvin Ejim. Dibo scored a career-high 20 points to lead the Mountaineers to a 102-77 victory Monday night, the Cyclones' most lopsided loss of the season.

Joel Embiid's status uncertain Kansas center Joel Embiid's status remains uncertain for Saturday's game against TCU.
