MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) The best game of Andrew Wiggins' short Kansas career helped temper the fact that the regular-season champion Jayhawks are limping into the Big 12 tournament with losses in two of their last three games.

Wiggins scored a season-high 41 points, a record from a Jayhawks freshman, but his effort to bring the Jayhawks back from a 25-point deficit fell just short and No. 8 Kansas lost to West Virginia 92-86 on Saturday.

Before fouling out in the final seconds, Wiggins broke Ben McLemore's freshman single-game scoring record of 36 points set last season. It marked the second-most points ever by a Big 12 freshman. Michael Beasley had 44 for Kansas State against Baylor in 2008.
