MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The Big 12 has fined Texas Tech $25,000 and reprimanded West Virginia forward Wes Harris for hitting a fan who joined thousands of others in storming the court during a postgame celebration.

Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a statement Monday that Texas Tech did not ensure the safety and security of West Virginia players.

Texas Tech safety Justus Parker was put on scholarship and head coach Kliff Kingsbury got some help from a couple of Patriots to make the announcement.

Videos posted on social media by fans at the game in Lubbock, Texas, show Harris and other West Virginia players trying to reach the sideline as fans swarmed the court Saturday in celebration of Texas Tech's 72-71 win over West Virginia.

2. The headline from the newspaper was horrible

and I don't know why they used Morgantown at the beginning. The game was in Lubbock while the Big 12 offices are in Irving, Texas.

Unfortunately the quality of writing by reporters has deteriorated significantly over the past 20 years.
