KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- West Virginia has made a habit of reaching the Big 12 Tournament title game lately.
Now, the Mountaineers will try to end the habit of losing it.
Daxter Miles Jr. scored 22 points and Jevon Carter added 17, and the tournament's No. 3 seed advanced to its third straight championship game Friday night when Texas Tech's Niem Stevenson missed a half-court heave at the buzzer to give West Virginia a 66-63 victory over the No. 14 Red Raiders.
The challenge awaiting Saturday night: ninth-ranked Kansas.
"It means everything at this point," Miles said.
