PITTSBURGH — Sam Young scored 20 points as No. 4 Pittsburgh seized the lead with a late first-half run and went on to beat rival West Virginia 70-59 on Monday.

Young followed up a 22-point game in Pitt's 79-67 win at West Virginia two weeks ago. Levance Fields had 13 points and seven assists to help the Panthers (22-2, 9-2 in Big East) win their fourth in a row.

Alex Ruoff scored 17 points and Devin Ebanks 16 for West Virginia (16-8, 5-6).

"It was a strange game — their best two players were in foul trouble and two of our best were in foul trouble," Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon said. "But we played through it."

No. 17 Missouri 62, No. 16 Kansas 60


In Columbia, Mo., Zaire Taylor hit a 10-footer from just outside the lane with 1.3 seconds to go, capping the Tigers' comeback from a 14-point halftime deficit in a victory over the Jayhawks.

DeMarre Carroll had 22 points and seven rebounds for Missouri (21-4, 8-2 Big 12), that won its 16th in a row at home against a bitter border rival that had beaten them five straight times.

Cole Aldrich had 15 rebounds, five blocked shots and eight points for Kansas (19-5, 8-1), which entered with an eight-game win streak and as one of only six Division I schools unbeaten in conference play.
