Matthews went from WVU to Washington back to WVU
Suenmick came from Robert Morris to Trion College to WVU
Wague came from Harcum Junior College to WVU
Stevenson went from Wichita State to Washington to South Carolina to WVU

Iowa State handed #1 North Carolina its first loss, 70-65, but #3 Kansas lost to #22 Tennessee, 64-50
Oklahoma State beat Tulsa, 82-56
Oklahoma beat Seton Hall, 77-64
So Big 12 is 4-1 Friday night with TCU leading California, 50-38, with 6 minutes left in that game.
