    No. 2 Oklahoma holds off Oklahoma State 74-72

    Oklahoma now knows what Kansas must have felt like after their thriller last week.

    In that game, Oklahoma's Buddy Hield scored 46 points, but Kansas got the win in triple overtime.

    This time, Oklahoma State's Jawun Evans scored 42, but No. 2 Oklahoma held on for a 74-72 victory on Wednesday night.

    No. 22 Baylor 82-54 win to stay unbeaten vs. TCU in Big 12

    No. 22 Baylor got on a roll after a couple of significant switches -- Terry Maston coming off the bench and making shots, along with coach Scott Drew's decision late in the first half to go from zone to man-to-man defense.

    And the Bears once again beat TCU in the Big 12, running away with an 82-54 victory Wednesday night.

    Khadeem Lattin's tip lifts Oklahoma past W. Virginia

    Khadeem Lattin made the most of his second chance, and now the Oklahoma Sooners could be on the verge of a No. 1 ranking.

    Twelve days after Lattin missed a free throw that could have beaten Kansas in a game the Sooners eventually lost in triple overtime, his tip-in with one second remaining Saturday gave No. 2 Oklahoma a 70-68 victory over No. 11 West Virginia.

    Bragg, Diallo off bench help No. 1 Jayhawks beat TCU 70-63

    Kansas coach Bill Self has long insisted that five-star recruits Carlton Bragg and Cheick Diallo might be the best players on his team -- five years down the line.

    They might have been the best on Saturday.

    Bragg had 10 points and four rebounds, Diallo had nine points and nine boards, and their spark off the bench helped the top-ranked Jayhawks to an otherwise sluggish 70-63 victory over TCU.

    No. 17 Iowa State beats Kansas State 76-63

    Iowa State's Georges Niang and Monte Morris both felt the ball hadn't bounced their way in consecutive Big 12 losses.

    They didn't leave anything to chance on Saturday.

    Morris scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half, Niang continued his form at Bramlage Coliseum with 15 points, and No. 17 Iowa State kept Kansas State at arm's length in a 76-63 victory.

    No. 22 Baylor hangs on to beat Texas Tech 63-60

    Lester Medford was feeling under the weather for No. 22 Baylor's game against Texas Tech on Saturday.

    He had just enough left in the tank, though, to hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer -- his only one of the game -- to lift the Bears to a 63-60 victory over the Red Raiders, Baylor's fourth straight win.

    No. 6 West Virginia mentally absent in loss to Texas, Bob Huggins says

    West Virginia had just split a pair of games against Kansas and Oklahoma last week to move up the national rankings.

    The No. 6 Mountaineers fell flat on Wednesday night, falling to unranked Texas 56-49.

    No. 13 Baylor beats Kansas State 79-72 in double overtime

    Al Freeman was scoreless in regulation, and Lester Medfordjust missed making a buzzer-beating winner for the second game in a row for No. 13 Baylor.

    Still, the Bears extended their home winning streak to 15 games and moved into first place in the Big 12. It just took two overtimes against young Kansas State.

    Freeman scored all 11 of his points in the extra periods, Medford hit the go-ahead free throws to start the second OT and Baylor won 79-72 after trailing by as many as 10 points before halftime Wednesday night.

    No. 6 West Virginia rallies to beat Texas Tech 80-76

    West Virginia coach Bob Huggins is glad he has a good bench for when his starters get in foul trouble or are having a tough game.

    "That's the good thing about this team, you know?" Huggins said. "Devin (Williams) gets in foul trouble and Elijah (Macon) answers the bell. JC (Jevon Carter) gets in foul trouble, Tarik (Phillip) plays well. Jaysean (Paige) hadn't been playing very well, and he played pretty well today."

    Phillip scored West Virginia's final eight points and the sixth-ranked Mountaineers ended the game on a 10-2 run to rally for an 80-76 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday, snapping a two-game losing streak.

    Kansas regroups to knock off Texas

    The way Kansas had labored over the past two weeks, coach Bill Self headed into Saturday's game against Texas firmly believing it was the Jayhawks' most important of the season.

    Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden Jr. rose to the occasion.

    Ellis had 26 points in a dominant performance, Selden led a big second-half run and finished with 19, and the Jayhawks overcame a slow start to beat the Longhorns 76-67.

    No. 1 Oklahoma beats No. 13 Baylor 82-72

    Buddy Hield became a cheerleader while sitting on the Oklahoma bench with two fouls in the first half. The dynamic guard got back to scoring after halftime when the Sooners made a case to stay No. 1.

    The Sooners started their first week atop the AP poll since 1990 with a close loss at No. 19 Iowa State on Monday night.

    They ended it Saturday with the Big 12 scoring leader getting 14 of his 19 points after halftime in an 82-72 victory at No. 13 Baylor, snapping the Bears' 15-game home winning streak and matching them for the conference lead in a game that wasn't really that close.

    No. 19 Iowa State tops TCU 73-60 after beating top-ranked OU

    Iowa State guard Monte Morris' production over the past five games is right up there with teammate Georges Niang and that came in handy on an off day for the Big 12's second-leading scorer.

    Now Cyclones coach Steve Prohm figures he will need both of them after a brief reprieve in a flurry of Top 10 opponents.

    Morris had 18 points and six assists, and No. 19 Iowa State followed up a win over top-ranked Oklahoma and tuned up for a game against No. 3 Kansas with a 73-60 victory over TCU on Saturday.

    No. 14 ISU goes on 24-7 run in second half to put away No. 4 KU

    Kansas had Iowa State's number for what felt like a century.

    The Cyclones might finally be turning this rivalry in their favor.

    Monte Morris scored 21 points, Georges Niang had 15 of his 19 in the second half and No. 14 Iowa State blew past No. 4 Kansas 85-72 on Monday night for its fourth straight win.

    Holton leads No. 9 West Virginia over Kansas State 70-55

    West Virginia played so well against Kansas State on Tuesday night that two technical fouls couldn't even slow down the Mountaineers.

    Jonathan Holton had 14 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 9 West Virginia to a 70-55 victory that gave the Mountaineers a sweep of the season series.

    Gathers' big 2nd half leads No. 17 Baylor past Oklahoma St.

    Baylor forward Rico Gathers asserted himself to start the second half against Oklahoma State.

    The Cowboys were powerless to stop the 6-foot-8, 275-pound wrecking ball.

    Gathers scored 14 of his 16 points after the break and led No. 17 Baylor to a 69-65 victory on Wednesday night.

    Wayne Selden Jr.'s 33 points lead No. 4 Kansas over Kentucky in OT

    Wayne Selden Jr. was tired of driving into the teeth of the Kentucky defense and getting his shot swatted away, so the Kansas guard decided in overtime to dunk no matter who got in his way.

    His emphatic slam over 6-foot-11 freshman Skal Labissiere proved to be the exclamation point on the finest performance of his career -- and an important victory for the Jayhawks.

    Selden finished with a career-high 33 points, seven of them in overtime, and fourth-ranked Kansas beat the No. 20 Wildcats 90-84 on Saturday night in the premier showdown of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.

    Buddy Hield scores 32, spurs No. 1 Sooners' second-half rally vs. LSU

    Oklahoma senior Buddy Hield has taken plenty of shots in crunch time and could not have looked more comfortable letting it fly again while his team roared back from a double-digit deficit in front of a packed, hostile and fully wound-up crowd.

    Hield made seven of his eight 3-pointers in the second half on his way to a 32-point performance, Isaiah Cousins hit a go-ahead jumper with 4 seconds left and No. 1 Oklahoma overcame a 14-point deficit to escape with a 77-75 victory over LSU on Saturday.
