Frank Mason III had 24 points, including two free throws, to cap a frantic rally from 14 down in the final three minutes of regulation, and No. 3 Kansas stunned No. 9 West Virginia 84-80 in overtime Monday night in Lawrence, Kan., to assume control of the Big 12 race.

Devonte Graham added 18 points, hitting two of his five 3-pointers in the extra period, and Josh Jackson added 14 points and 11 rebounds as the Jayhawks (23-3, 11-2) avenged a loss in Morgantown while extending their lead over fourth-ranked Baylor to two games in the league standings.

Esa Ahmad scored 20 points and Tarik Phillip had 18 for the Mountaineers (20-6, 8-5), who appeared to have the game locked up when they led 64-50 with 2:58 left in the second half. Kansas answered with some more Allen Fieldhouse magic, forcing overtime and never trailing in the extra period.

Baylor goes down again: For the fourth time in Big 12 play this season, No. 4 Baylor was on the wrong end of the score. Keenan Evans scored 23 points and Niem Stevenson added 21 as Texas Tech surged in the second half to beat Baylor 84-78 at home.

The Bears (22-4, 9-4) struggled to contain the Red Raiders (17-9, 5-8), who hit 30 of 43 free throws.

Rule change for NIT: Next month’s NIT will experiment with rules incorporating elements of playing four quarters while staying with a two-half format.

The NCAA said Monday its rules oversight panel has approved resetting team fouls to zero at the end of 10-minute segments in each half, as well as doing away with the 1-and-1 free throw in favor of two foul shots on many fouls.

Instead, teams will shoot two free throws after teams have reached a four-foul limit during each 10-minute segment and three fouls during overtime. The fouls will reset at the 9:59 mark of each half.

The panel also approved resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds, or leaving it the same if there was more time when play was stopped, instead of going back to 30 seconds when a team inbounds the ball in its frontcourt after a foul that results in no free throws. AP
