Jordan Harrison collected 19 points and four steals as No. 24 West Virginia defeated TCU 77-52 on Tuesday in Fort Worth, Texas.

JJ Quinerly added 15 points, Kyah Watson had 13 and Jaylah Hemingway had 12 as the Mountaineers (21-3, 10-3 Big 12) bounced back from a loss at then-No. 18 Baylor on Saturday. Watson added eight rebounds and five steals to help West Virginia earn its eighth win in nine games.

Agnes Emma-Nnopu amassed 18 points and six blocked shots while Sydney Harris logged 12 points for the Horned Frogs (15-9, 2-11), who lost their fifth game in a row.

TCU took its lone lead of the game on a layup from Emma-Nnopu with 1:20 left in the first quarter. Hemingway's fastbreak layup with 35 seconds to go in the period put West Virginia up 15-14, the margin at the quarter's end.

The Mountaineers led by 13 points at halftime, then outscored the Horned Frogs 28-13 in the third quarter to pull away.
