West Virginia Knocks Off No. 8 Purdue

Lasher scored 9 of his 17 points during a late 18-6 run and host West Virginia surprised No. 8 Purdue on Sunday, 68-64.

West Virginia (12-4) has won a season-high four straight.

Hubert Flottz added 15 points for West Virginia, which lost in a blowout to the Boilermakers last season.

West Virginia shot 14 of 27 (52 percent) from the floor after halftime and was able to overcome another strong effort from Skittles, who scored 26 points and kept Purdue in the game until the final seconds.
