No. 6 WVU avoids upset at Cleveland St. (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Da'Sean Butler's layup with 1.2 seconds left, after West Virginia finally handled a suffocating press, gave No. 6 West Virginia an 80-78 win over Cleveland State on Saturday. Kevin Jones scored a career-high 23 and Butler added 18 and nine rebounds for the Mountaineers (8-0), who did just enough against a bothersome zone and full-court press to hold off the Vikings (4-8).
