After the Mountaineers' Lauren Fields canned a
3-pointer to make it 62-62 with 3:17 remaining in overtime,
Kansas State took over. It rattled off the next 11 points, eight
of which came from Lee, to build a 73-62 cushion that
effectively sealed the victory.
Serena Sundell added 11 points for the Wildcats, who shot 47.2
percent overall to win for the third time in four games.
JJ Quinerly paced West Virginia (22-4, 11-4) with 23 points
before fouling out in overtime. Kylee Blacksten had nine points
and Fields had eight to go along with eight boards, but the
Mountaineers saw a modest two-game winning streak come to an
end.
No. 5 Texas 77, Texas Tech 72
Taylor Jones led four scorers in double figures with 19 points
as the Longhorns held off the Red Raiders in Austin, Texas.
Amina Muhammad recorded a 16-point, 15-rebound double-double and
Madison Booker (14 points) and DeYona Gaston (12) also played a
large part in Texas' seventh straight win.
Jasmine Shavers netted 27 points and Bailey Maupin tallied 22
for Texas Tech (16-12, 5-10 Big 12), which was within three with
nine seconds to go after Shavers canned a trey. But Booker iced
the game with a pair of free throws, allowing the Longhorns
(25-3, 12-3) to hang on.
No. 24 Baylor 69, Kansas 61
Dre'Una Edwards came off the bench for 20 points, helping the

Edwards went 9-for-15 from the floor and grabbed seven rebounds
for Baylor (20-6, 9-6 Big 12). Jana Van Gytenbeek posted 11
points and Darianna Littlepage-Buggs followed with 10 as the
Bears won back-to-back games for the first time since early
January.
S'Mya Nichols made all 10 of her free-throw attempts en route to
a game-high 23 points for Kansas (15-11, 8-7), which trailed by
at least six for the entirety of the fourth quarter. The
Jayhawks had won their previous five games.
