MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — No. 10 West Virginia avoided a letdown against Big 12 bottom-feeder TCU and didn’t let down its defensive pressure in a 73-42 win Saturday
Forward Jonathan Holton scored 14 in returning from a four-game suspension for West Virginia (20-5, 9-3 Big 12), which remained tied for the conference lead with the upcoming Oklahoma-Kansas winner. Freshman forward Esa Ahmad added a career-high 14 points and Devin Williams finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds to help the Mountaineers climb to 8-0 all-time in the series.
TCU (11-14, 2-10), among the most turnover-plagued teams in Division I, committed 26 more, matching its season-high.
