Huff added a pair of free throws, and Treysen Eaglestaff also made a 3 and two free throws during the surge.

Jizzle James’ 3-pointer for Cincinnati capped the scoring with three seconds left. He then forced a turnover but missed from long range to end it.

Huff shot 7 of 14 from the field and 6 of 10 from beyond the arc. Chance Moore added 14 points for West Virginia (10-5, 1-1 Big 12). Eaglestaff finished with 10 points, and he and Huff combined for 15 of the Mountaineers’ 37 rebounds.
