No. 6 Texas A&M 80, No. 13 Oklahoma 78

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Conference scoring leader Danielle Adams scored 31 points, including the decisive free throws with 7.6 seconds left, and the Aggies won their 12th straight game by beating the Sooners to move into sole possession of first place in the Big 12.

It was the second straight road win over a ranked foe for Texas A&M (18-1, 6-0), which won for the first time ever at Iowa State on Saturday. The Aggies won't have long to savor either win, though, as they're set to host No. 1 Baylor on Sunday in yet another conference showdown.

Danielle Robinson led Oklahoma (15-4, 5-1) with 33 points and almost single-handedly fueled a comeback from a 17-point first-half deficit. But Robinson, an 87 percent free throw shooter, missed the front end of a one-and-one opportunity with 30.6 seconds left and her driving shot over Adams as time expired wasn't close.
