MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Three Baylor Bears scored double figures Wednesday as they edged West Virginia 65-62 to snap a three-game losing string and keep hopes alive of an at-large NCAA tournament bid.

The Bears (17-11, 8-7 Big 12 Conference) not only had lost three in a row, but six of their past eight. On top of that, coming in, they led West Virginia (13-15, 6-9) by only one game for sixth place in the league.

West Virginia has lost three in a row and is in danger of having the first losing season in the program since former coach John Beilein’s first year here in 2002-03. That group finished 14-15. The Mountaineers have gone to five straight NCAA tournaments under coach Bob Huggins.

Baylor was led by Isaiah Austin’s 21 points, while guard Pierre Jackson added 15 and A.J. Walton finished with 10 before fouling out.

Freshman guard Eron Harris scored a career-high 25 points for the Mountaineers. Kevin Noreen finished with 10.

Noreen’s 3-point shot brought the Mountaineers within 63-62 with 1:36 to go, but teammate Juwan Staten’s shot was blocked by Austin at the end.
