Ames, Iowa ? Iowa State found out on Saturday what the rest of the Big 12 already knows: You can only keep D.J. Augustin down for so long.

A.J. Abrams led all scorers with 25 points, Augustin added 17 – including a key jumper with 38 seconds left in overtime – and Texas rallied from a 13-point deficit to beat Iowa State 71-65 for its sixth victory in seven games.

Gary Johnson tied a career high with 15 points for the Longhorns, who held Iowa State to three points in overtime. Texas continues to show a knack for digging out of its own holes, rallying from double-digit deficits to win its last three games.

The Longhorns (19-4, 6-2 Big 12) pulled this one off despite an off night from Augustin, who was 5-of-22 from the floor. But his overtime jumper gave the Longhorns a 66-62 lead that they expanded at the free-throw line, and Justin Mason’s layup sealed the win.

“He stayed with it, and I told him in the locker room, ‘You missed a bunch but you made the big one,”‘ Texas coach Rick Barnes said of Augustin.

Jiri Hubalek had 24 points to lead Iowa State (13-11, 3-6), which lost its ninth straight against ranked opponents. Wesley Johnson scored 10 on 4-of-17 shooting.

The Cyclones were just 1-of-9 from the floor in overtime, their only make coming on a Diante Garrett three with 14 seconds left. Iowa State has lost five of six after an encouraging start to the conference schedule.

“It’s a disappointing loss,” said Cyclones coach Greg McDermott, who is 0-8 against Top 25 teams in two seasons with Iowa State. “I don’t think anyone is into moral victories in our locker room, and that’s a good thing.”

With 56 seconds left in regulation, Abrams was knocked to the floor by Rahshon Clark and hit two free throws for a 62-60 lead. The Cyclones then caught a break when Hubalek was fouled on the wing, and he hit two from the line to tie the game at 62.

Nebraska 73, Texas Tech 62

Lincoln, Neb. – Nebraska turned to Aleks Maric early, and the senior center responded, scoring 22 points and grabbing 14 rebounds for his fourth straight double-double in a victory over Texas Tech.

“I felt we had an advantage in there,” Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. “We have to look for him because he gives you so many other opportunities for the guys outside.”

Nebraska (14-7, 3-5 Big 12) shot 57 percent in the first half, when Maric scored 17 of his points.

“The way Al is playing is really helping us,” said Ryan Anderson, who scored 19 points on 8-of-9 shooting. “He has confidence in what he’s doing. His aggressiveness is getting us good shots.”

The Huskers’ lead grew to 18 midway through the second frame after Cookie Miller’s three-pointer made the score 60-42. But Texas Tech (12-10, 3-5) went on a 13-2 run, and Mike Singletary’s jumper cut the Nebraska lead to 62-55. The Huskers countered with a 8-3 spurt that put the game out of reach.

Colorado 72, Oklahoma 58

Boulder, Colo. – Richard Roby and Marcus Hall each scored 19 points, helping Colorado snap a six-game slide with a victory over Oklahoma.

The Buffaloes (10-13, 2-7 Big 12) led by as many as 14 points early in the second half and then withstood a late Oklahoma charge, sending the Sooners to their third straight loss.

Hall played all 40 minutes for the sixth time this season. He also had three assists.

The Sooners (15-8, 3-5) were led in scoring by freshman Blake Griffin with 25 points, two points shy of tying his career high set against Kansas State on Jan. 12. He also had five assists and five rebounds.

Tony Crocker added nine points, all on three-pointers, while Taylor Griffin and David Godbold each added eight points.

Colorado put two defenders on Blake Griffin to try to slow him down, but the ploy didn’t work. Griffin got free anyway, helping the Sooners dominate inside. Oklahoma outscored Colorado 36-18 in the paint.

No. 18 Texas A&M 77, Missouri 69

Columbia, Mo. – Donald Sloan scored a career-high 21 points, and Texas A&M took control with a 15-point run to open the second half of a victory over Missouri.

Bryan Davis had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Josh Carter added 14 points for the Aggies (20-4, 6-3 Big 12), who had a dominating 42-25 rebounding advantage and shot 56 percent in the second half to win their fifth straight game. Texas A&M won for only the second time in seven tries at Missouri, capitalizing on a program still struggling in the wake of the disciplinary suspensions of five players late last month.

Stefhon Hannah, the team’s leading scorer and the central figure in a nightclub altercation, was arrested for third-degree misdemeanor assault on Friday, his first trip to the campus since his jaw was broken.

He was not on the bench as Missouri (13-11, 3-6) lost for the third time in four games since the incident.
