Saturday's Top 25 Women's College Basketball Capsules

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Casey Morris scored 13 points to lead Texas Tech to a 56-45 win over top-ranked Baylor on Saturday.

Fans swarmed the court to celebrate the win, the Lady Raiders' second over a Top 25 team in the past week. The win avenged a loss in Lubbock last year when Brittney Griner was ejected for punching a Texas Tech player.

This was the first time a No. 1 team lost to an unranked since Jan. 26, 2006, when Kentucky beat top-ranked Tennessee 66-63.

Griner finished with 15 points and six rebounds to lead Baylor (24-2, 11-1 Big 12).

Texas Tech (19-7, 6-6) led most of the game, going ahead 52-37 with 5:23 left when Kierra Mallard hit a jumper in the lane.

No. 2 Connecticut 78, No. 8 Notre Dame 57

STORRS, Conn. (AP) - Bria Hartley scored a career-high 29 points to help No. 2 Connecticut win its 14th straight since its 90-game winning streak ended at Stanford on Dec. 30.

Maya Moore added 12 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the Huskies (26-1, 13-0 Big East), who will likely move back to No. 1 on Monday because top-ranked Baylor lost earlier in the day.

Skylar Diggins scored 22 points and Natalie Novosel added 18 to lead No. 8 Notre Dame (22-5, 11-2), which had its nine-game winning streak end. The Irish had won every game during the streak by at least 15 points and had a week to prepare for this game.

No. 5 Texas A&M 76, Oklahoma St. 67

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Danielle Adams scored 24 points and No. 5 Texas A&M outlasted Oklahoma State.

The score was tied 54-all with about 5 minutes remaining before Texas A&M (22-3, 10-2 Big 12) scored 11 straight points. Sydney Colson scored the first five points in that run and Adams capped it with a jump shot with about 2 minutes left.

The Aggies were up by as many as 16 points in the first half before Oklahoma State (15-10, 3-9) took the lead midway through the second period. Texas A&M had trouble feeding Adams down low and was cold from outside for most of the second half to allow the Cowgirls to hang around until the late run.

Oklahoma State was led by Toni Young's 23 points and 17 rebounds.

No. 14 Oklahoma 91, Texas 62

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Whitney Hand scored 23 points, Aaryn Ellenburg had 21 and No. 14 Oklahoma rebounded from its worst defeat in nearly 33 years with its largest win against Texas.

Kathleen Nash and Chassidy Fussell scored 17 points each for Texas (17-9, 6-6), and Tiffany Moore added 13 points.

Robinson picked up three fouls in the first 11 minutes and got her fourth only 3 minutes into the second half. She totaled only 17 minutes.

Ellenberg's 3-pointer from the corner gave Oklahoma a 30-point lead less than 8 minutes into the second half.

Green Bay led most of the game, but could not put Milwaukee (9-16, 6-8) away. The Panthers cut the lead to 57-49 with 10:24 remaining when Sami Tucker scored on a driving layup and was fouled, and she made the free throw to complete the three-point play.

Green Bay went on an 11-2 run to grab a 68-51 lead with 5:36 remaining when Hannah Quilling hit two free throws. Milwaukee could get no closer than 12 the rest of the way.

Taneisha Harrison had 28 points for Pitt (13-13, 5-8), which had won four of its previous five.

West Virginia went on a 10-1 run midway through the first half and led by at least 10 from that point until there was 1:03 to play. The Mountaineers led by as many as 21 in the second half.

The Panthers set season highs in free throws attempted (37) and made (25).
