MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Its NCAA chances all but gone, West Virginia showed it still has some fight left in a lacklustre season. West Virginia built a 25-point lead and had to withstand 41 points by freshman Andrew Wiggins and a furious comeback by No. 8 Kansas to upset the Jayhawks 92-86 in their Big 12 regular-season finale Saturday. "We just had to stay composed, not get too down, dont say, dang, theyre going to come back," said Eron Harris, who led West Virginia with 28 points. "Youve got to always have confidence in your team that youre going to win." 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. The young Mountaineers, who have no seniors, watched Kansas tear into the deficit behind Wiggins, who set a season high for scoring and a freshman record for the Jayhawks before fouling out in the final seconds. He also eight rebounds, four blocks and five steals, to go along with 12-of-18 shooting from the field. Ben McLemore has the Kansas single-game freshman scoring record with 36 last season. West Virginia made some clutch free throws in the final minute to thwart the comeback and keep coach Bob Huggins sanity intact. "When we get a little more experience, well handle those things a little better," said Huggins, who earned $25,000 for beating Kansas in the regular season, one of the bonus clauses in a 2012 contract extension. Juwan Staten added 24 points and Devin Williams, WVUs 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. "I thought Staten controlled the game," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Harris was terrific and Williams was by far the best big in the game. "They were terrific and then we didnt guard at all. Weve gone through stretches this year where we havent guarded well, but thats probably as poor as weve been. But give them credit, they were a lot better than us offensively than we were defensively." West Virginia shot 53 per cent from the floor and outrebounded Kansas 37-31. 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. The Jayhawks will have a first-round bye in the conference tournament that begins Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas was without 7-foot freshman Joel Embiid, who sat out his second straight game to rest a lower back strain. Tarik Black, starting in Embiids place, went to the bench with his second foul four minutes into the game. The Mountaineers led nearly the entire game but fell apart down the stretch. Still, West Virginia managed to beat a ranked team for the third time in seven tries over the past month. Kansas went more than seven minutes without a field goal spanning the halves and found itself with its biggest deficit of the season, 64-39, with 16:43 left in the game after a Harris 3-pointer. But the Mountaineers have had trouble holding double-digit leads this season, and Kansas -- especially Wiggins -- was hardly done. West Virginia struggled against Kansas full-court press, and Wiggins followed Landen Lucas three-point play with four free throws and a 3-pointer over a 47-second span to pull Kansas within 78-68 with 6:13 remaining. Wiggins scored 14 straight points at one point for the Jayhawks. Frank Masons 3-pointer trimmed the deficit to 85-80 with 1:24 left. But West Virginia made 7 of 8 free throws in the final minute to hang on. Backups Lucas and Jamari Traylor couldnt keep up with Williams, who scored 10 straight points for the Mountaineers at one point. He had 18 in the first half to give the Mountaineers a 50-38 halftime lead -- the most points given up by the Jayhawks in the first half this season. "I thought Devin played really well," Huggins said. "(He) scored it through contact and made open shots, which he does in practice. And then he rebounds the ball for us. Hes the one guy who can really go rebound it in a crowd." West Virginia had its second sellout of the season, thanks to hundreds of Kansas fans who made the 900-mile trek east and those especially coming to see Wiggins, who played his high school ball on the other side of the state at Huntington Prep. "Ive never seen him play like that," Huggins said. "When he makes shots hes really difficult to defend." Oscar Lindberg Jersey .

Jake Bischoff Jersey .com) - Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer were among the third-round winners Friday at the French Open.London, England - Two-time champion Rafael Nadal, seven- time titlist Roger Federer and Australian Open winner Stan Wawrinka posted second-round victories Thursday at Wimbledon. The second-seeded world No. 1 superstar Nadal exacted some revenge by coming back to beat Czech Lukas Rosol 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4, 6-4 on the famed Centre Court. Rosol shocked Nadal in the second round here two years ago, and Nadal was a first-round loser against Belgian Steve Darcis in the opening round last year. Rosol had a set point in the second-set tiebreak but was unable to convert, as Nadal saved it with a forehand winner and Rosol double-faulted two points later to give the Spaniard the set. Nadal ultimately completed his comeback in 2 hours, 44 minutes. The big-serving 6-foot-5 Rosol popped 17 aces, compared to 11 for Nadal, who broke his Czech counterpart three times, compared to two breaks for the loser. Nadal has now beaten Rosol twice since losing to the Czech slugger here in 2012. The mighty Spaniards other win came in Doha, Qatar, back in January. "I never play for revenge. Every match is a different match. My goal is not to beat Rosol but to play as well as I can in the tournament," Nadal said. The 14-time Grand Slam champion Nadal, who is the reigning French and U.S. Open titlist, is now 38-7 lifetime at Wimbledon, where hes a two-time winner and three-time runner-up. Up next for the 28-year-old great will be Kazakhstans Mikhail Kukushkin. The fourth-seeded former world No. 1 great Federer eased past Luxembourgs Gilles Muller 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 under the roof on Centre Court. Rain forced the closure of the roof during the second set. Federer improved to 69-8 lifetime at The Championships, where he also finished as a runner-up in 2008 in addition to those seven titles. The 17-time Grand Slam king titled on grass in Halle two weeks ago. He awaits the Marcel Granollers-Santiago Giraldo winner. The fifth-seeded Swiss star Wawrinka moved on by striking 56 winners and holding off Taiwans Yen-Hsun Lu, 7-6 (8-6), 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Wawrinka will meet Uzbekistans Denis Istomin on Saturday.

The two men returned to the court knotted at 9-9 in the final set on Thursday. Tsonga and Querrey combined for 70 aces, including 37 from the French winner, in the two-day, 3-hour, 49-minute affair. The match featured only three service breaks, with Tsonga gaining two of them. Italian Simone Bolelli took out 22nd-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, while 23rd-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo bested Frances Adrian Mannarino 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5) and Czech Jiri Vesely upended 24th-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils 7-6 (7-3), 6-3, 6-7 (1-7), 6-7 (3-7), 6-4.
