On January 10, Texas Tech beat Oklahoma State 106-43. Jia Perkins had 21. It was one of those games that was one-sided to the point of embarrassment. At the time, I called it silly.

Yesterday, Oklahoma State got some revenge over the former #1. They beat Tech 88-87 in double OT.

"We just knew that we owed them one," said Nina Stone, who had 30. "We wanted to pay them back on our home court. We weren't about to let them come in and beat us by 63 points on our home floor. We were going to let them know that it was going to be a battle."

I can't ever recall a team losing by so much in one meeting and winning the next. Obviously, this is a unique situation, since Tech has lost its star in the interim.

A few days ago I said that the Red Raiders probably don't deserve their ranking. I think we'll see them slip further after this one.
