Freshman helps No. 6 Oklahoma hold off Iowa State

? Freshman Danielle Robinson scored a career-high 23 points to lead No. 6 Oklahoma past Iowa State, 67-64, on Wednesday night in a rematch of last season’s Big 12 title game.

The Sooners (10-2, 1-0 Big 12) picked up their 10th straight win despite a subpar night from junior star Courtney Paris, who spent most of the second half on the bench because of foul trouble. Paris finished with 12 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks, but was just 4-of-11 from the field.

The Cyclones saw their home winning streak snapped at 15 games.

Down 10 with 4:46 left, Iowa State (11-3, 0-1) went on an 11-0 run to take a 61-60 lead. Amanda Nisleit tied the game with a three, and freshman Kelsey Bolte gave the Cyclones the lead on a free throw with 54.5 seconds left.

But Paris, a 51 percent free-throw shooter, hit two from the line to give the Sooners a 62-61 lead. Iowa State turned the ball over on its next possession, and Jenna Plumley and Amanda Thompson hit free throws to make it 66-62.

Allison Lacey then hit a pair from the line to bring Iowa State within three, but her three-point try at the buzzer rimmed out.

Bolte led Iowa State with a career-high 23 points.

No. 8 Baylor 72, Texas Tech 67

Lubbock, Texas – Jessica Morrow and Jhasmin Player each scored 19 points, and Baylor beat Texas Tech.

Dominic Seals tied a career high with 22 for Texas Tech, which lost back-to-back games for the first time this season. Both losses came to ranked teams.

The game was close throughout, as each team shot below 40 percent from the field.

Kansas State 67, No. 13 Texas A&M 54

College Station, Texas – Kimberly Dietz scored 20 points to lead Kansas State over Texas A&M. It is the second consecutive time the unranked Wildcats have upset a ranked A&M team. They beat then-No. 17 Texas A&M 48-45 in the last meeting a little more than a year ago.

That game was the last time the Wildcats had defeated a ranked team.
