Reserve J. J. Crawl swiped a pass near midcourt and hit a driving layup with three seconds remaining as West Virginia upset 17th ranked Oregon State, 64-62, in the first round of the NCAA Mideast Regional basketball tournament last night in Birmingham, Ala.

The victory advanced the Mountaineers to Saturday's second round for a battle with 11th-ranked Maryland.

Crawl, who had missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw situation with 21 seconds left, stepped into the path of Alan Tait's pass intended for Charlie Sitton, and drove for the game-winning basket that eliminated the Beavers, who shared the Pac-10 championship with Washington.

West Virginia, 20-11, trailed 56-51 with eight minutes remaining, but fought back for a 60-59 lead with 5:57 left on Renardo Brown's driving layup.

Sitton converted a three-point play with 5:30 to play, the last shot the Beavers took in the game.
