Elijah Johnson scored a career-high 39 points on 13-for-22 shooting, willing KU to a 108-96 overtime victory over Iowa State on Monday night at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.
Johnson scored KU's final eight points in regulation, including two free throws with 4.9 seconds left to tie the game at 90.

Releford added 19 points, while Kevin Young and Jeff Withey added 13 each.
The loss was ISU's first at Hilton this season.
KU (24-4, 12-3 Big 12) will play host to West Virginia at 1 p.m. Saturday.
