Norman, Okla. ? Courtney Paris had proven time and again that she could score and rebound with the nation’s best. However, her twin sister wasn’t convinced she could come through in the clutch.

That changed Sunday, when Paris had 31 points and 19 rebounds, and hit two key free throws to keep No. 9 Oklahoma ahead in the final minute of an 81-77 overtime victory against 12th-ranked Baylor.

“Ashley these last few days has been telling me, ‘Courtney, You’re not clutch. You can’t do anything clutch,'” Paris said. “‘You can’t come down the court and shoot three-pointers. You can’t be my favorite player. My favorite player can do this, can do that.’

“Now I can tell her, ‘Clutch free throws.”‘
