Lots of action in the Big XII, but only one result you might call an upset: historically-bad Oklahoma State knocked down historically-very-good Texas in Austin. Cowgirls PG Andrea Riley, who shot 8-17, led the come-from-behind win.
OK State coach Budke on Riley: "You're looking at the Big 12 Freshman of the Year right here; it's not even close. I wouldn't trade her for any point guard in this league."
In Voepelland, Mizzou took out K-State behind Eetisha Riddle's double-double. The Tigers led at the half; the Wildcats made it a one-possession game near the end, but couldn't close the deal.
Mizzou coach Cindy Stein: "You have to respect Kansas State’s offense a lot. It takes a lot of experience to defend them."
Elsewhere in the Big XII, all the ranked teams won, though Oklahoma had to work to beat Kansas; the Sooners stayed on track despite 56% free-throw shooting, including Courtney Paris' 8-16.
