AMES, Iowa - Anne O'Neil hit a 15-foot jump shot with .2 seconds to play, lifting Iowa State to a 64-63 victory Wednesday night that ended No.2 Texas Tech's 15-game winning streak.

O'Neil, who had 16 of her 20 points in the second half, missed one free throw but made the second to give Iowa State a 62-61 lead with 18 seconds left.

Jia Perkins' jump shot with eight seconds left gave Texas Tech a 63-62 lead. But O'Neil brought the ball up, drove to the left of the free-throw line and made her sixth field goal in 20 attempts to give the Cyclones (8-5, 2-2 Big 12) the victory.

Texas Tech (15-1, 1-1) called timeout but failed to get a shot off before the horn sounded.

NO.24 BAYLOR 78, NO.3 TEXAS 64: Emily Niemann scored 15 to help the host Bears snap the Longhorns' 15-game winning streak in the Big 12.

Sophia Young and Steffanie Blackmon added 14 points for Baylor (14-2, 2-1), which overwhelmed Texas (14-2, 2-1) in the first half with its pinpoint shooting. The Longhorns, led by Tiffany Jackson's 14 points, made two baskets over the first nine minutes of the second half.

Baylor put Texas on its heels early and looked like the team more deserving of the No.3 ranking in taking a 42-32 lead.

NO.15 OKLAHOMA 65, TEXAS A&M 56 (OT): Maria Villarroel scored 21 and Leah Rush had six of her 17 in overtime to lead the visiting Sooners.

Tocarra Williams went the length of the floor for Texas A&M with 26 seconds left to tie it at 55 and force overtime. The Sooners (12-2, 2-1 Big 12) outscored Texas A&M (7-7, 0-3) 10-1 in overtime, with the Aggies missing all nine of their shots.

NO.23 VA. TECH 63, NO.19 VILLANOVA 50: Kerri Gardin scored eight of her 14 during an opening 15-4 run, and the host Hokies (13-2, 2-2 Big East) never were challenged.

The Wildcats (12-3, 2-2) shot less than 37 percent, were outrebounded 39-24 and were outscored 15-2 from the free-throw line. Virginia Tech was whistled for eight fouls, Villanova 15.

NO.21 UM 57, GEORGETOWN 55 (2OT): Tamara James had 17 points and eight rebounds before leaving with an injury for the host Hurricanes.

James left in the second overtime after banging her head on the floor. Her neck was immobilized and she was taken off on a stretcher. Team officials called it a strained neck.

Miami (14-1, 3-1 Big East) held on despite shooting 30 percent and making 17 baskets.

Yalonda McCormick made 3 of 12 3-pointers, but her 3-pointer with less than a minute left in regulation tied it. Reserve Rebekkah Brunson led Georgetown (7-7, 1-3) with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
