Juwan Staten made a layup with 4 seconds left to lift No. 23 West Virginia to a 62-61 victory over No. 8 Kansas on Monday night.
Staten finished with 20 points to give the Mountaineers (20-6, 8-5 Big 12) their first 20-win season in four years.
It was Staten's first field goal over the final eight minutes after he had gone to the bench with leg cramps.
After Staten made a spin move around Frank Mason III and hit a left-handed layup, the Jayhawks' Perry Ellis caught a long pass but missed a layup between two defenders just before the final buzzer.
