MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Cartier Diarra tied a career high with 25 points, Xavier Sneed added 16, Dujuan Gordon had a career high 15, and Kansas State held off No. 12 West Virginia 84-68 for their first win in Big 12 play this season. Kansas State (8-9, 1-4 Big 12) went up by as many as 23 points on Saturday, but a 15-0 run by the Mountaineers cut the lead to eight in the second half, thanks in part to seven turnovers in four minutes by the Wildcats. West Virginia (14-3, 3-2) would get as close as six, but the Wildcats held on and won by 16.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Devon Dotson returned from a hip injury to score 21 points and lead No. 6 Kansas over Texas 66-57. Dotson scored the Jayhawks' final seven points of the game. He made a long 3-pointer with just under 3 minutes left and then closed out the victory with four straight free throws in the final 39 seconds. Udoka Azubuike scored 17 points and a scoring burst from him early in the second half allowed Kansas to take the lead after trailing much of the first half. Jericho Sims led Texas with 20 points.
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Freddie Gillespie had 17 points and Devonte Bandoo scored 16 points to help No. 2 Baylor overcome a 12-point second-half deficit to defeat Oklahoma State 75-68.

WACO, Texas (AP) — The No. 2 Baylor women set another Big 12 record with their 45th consecutive conference win in regular season play. Moon Ursin had a career-high 22 points to lead five Lady Bears in double figures in a 91-51 win over No. 17 West Virginia on Saturday night. The Lady Bears had matched their own record of 44 in a row earlier this week. They never trailed in breaking that. Baylor also won its nation's-best 49th home game in a row overall. Kysre Gondrezick had 15 points for West Virginia, which has consecutive lopsided losses after its first 3-0 start ever in Big 12 play.
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Kyler Edwards had 22 points coming off the highest-scoring game of his career and No. 23 Texas Tech pulled away from Iowa State in the second half of a 72-52 victory. The sophomore was 5 of 6 from 3-point range after scoring 24 points in a victory at Kansas State that stopped a two-game skid. Texas Tech went on an 18-2 run in the second half. The Cyclones missed their first 15 attempts from 3-point range and finished 3 of 22. Tyrese Haliburton led the Cyclones with 13 points.
UNDATED (AP) — Brady Manek scored a career-high 31 points to lead Oklahoma to an 83-63 win over TCU on Saturday.

He scored 15 of his points in the first half, hitting a pair of 3-pointers in the final 3:02 before the break to help the Sooners extend their lead from five to 12 in the closing minutes of the half. Desmond Bane led the Horned Frogs with 12 points and Jaedone LeDee added 11 off the bench.
