Andrew Wiggins explodes for 41 points but Kansas falls

West Virginia built a 25-point lead and had to withstand 41 points by freshman Andrew Wiggins and a furious comeback by Kansas to upset the Jayhawks 92-86 in their Big 12 regular-season finale Saturday.

The Mountaineers (17-14, 9-9 Big 12) could have finished with a thud like they had in losing four of their five previous games that reduced them to playing for a spot in the NIT.

Juwan Staten added 24 points and Devin Williams, WVU's star freshman, had a season-high 22 points along with 13 rebounds. It marked the first time this season that Kansas had allowed three opposing players to score 20 points.

Perry Ellis added 14 points for Kansas (23-8, 14-4), which clinched its 10th straight regular-season title a week ago and had little riding on this game.
