FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Vasean Allette scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and TCU beat West Virginia 65-60 on Wednesday night to give coach Jamie Dixon his 500th career win.

Dixon, a TCU alum, has the program’s second-most wins at 172 since taking over in 2016 after 13 years at Pittsburgh.

Javon Small scored 20 points and dished out seven assists for West Virginia (14-8, 5-6). Joseph Yesufu scored 11 points and fellow reserve Eduardo Andre 10.

Allette’s three-point play with 1:02 left broke a tie at 58 and he proceeded to close out TCU’s scoring with a layup and a pair of foul shots. Small’s layup off a steal brought the Mountaineers into a 58-all tie with 1:29 remaining.

In a game of swings, Ernest Udeh Jr.’s three-point play with 8:20 left extended TCU’s lead to 52-43 before West Virginia outscored the Mountaineers 15-6 in seven minutes to tie it.

West Virginia built an early 10-2 lead in the first six-and-a-half minutes and reached its first double-digit lead at 23-12 with 7:28 before halftime on a Small layup. But the Horned Frogs rallied and went on to outscore West Virginia 16-6 and reached the break down just 29-28.

The Mountaineers host Utah on Saturday. TCU hits the road to face eighth-ranked Iowa State on Saturday.
