In Big 12 action last night --
Iowa State got back on track. Mary Fox made 9 of 10 as the Cyclones beat up on Oklahoma State. "It was a big night for the whole team," Fox said. "When you have a good shooting night, it feels good, but after the week we had last week, I'm just happy for the team and happy I contributed."
Texas Tech struggled against Kansas but still won. "I'm always thrilled to get a victory on the road, but I thought we played a little inconsistent at times and was disappointed in our ability to put them away," coach Marsha Sharp said. "But at this point, we have to feel good about being 5-1 on the road in Big 12 play. We have two more road games and two more at home, and if you win them, you have the chance to hold a trophy up."
With Sophia Young on the bench in foul trouble, Stephanie Blackmon took over, scoring a career-high 31 points to lead Baylor over Mizzou. "It was weird because I've never played that much without her," Blackmon said. "When she went out, I decided to step it up."
And in the night's biggest game, Texas edged K State. Wecker was the only Wildcat in double figures -- she accounted for 28 of the Cats' 60 points and 12 of 28 rebounds. "I don't think there's any way to stop her," coach Jody Conradt said of Wecker. "We just had to do the best job we could to make it hard for the rest of the team to score."
Nebraska and Oklahoma both won to stay, at least, on the bubble.
