WVU upended by TCU on road

Struggles continue away from home

Kevin Samuel scored six of his 19 points in overtime and TCU extended No. 17 West Virginia’s Big 12 road woes with a 67-60 victory over the Mountaineers on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Horned Frogs (15-12, 68) thought they had won for just the second time in nine games in regulation when Desmond Bane sent the crowd into a frenzy on a driving layup with 0.9 seconds left. But the senior guard was called for pushing off.

Jaire Grayer broke the 5555 tie with his only 3-pointer to start overtime, and Samuel hit two buckets and two free throws as the Mountaineers lost their fifth consecutive road conference game.

Derek Culver had 18 points and 12 rebounds for West Virginia (19-8, 7-7).
