STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - Danielle Robinson scored a career-high 36 points and No. 13 Oklahoma beat No. 10 Oklahoma State 77-66 on Saturday, the Sooners' 21st win over their Bedlam rival in their last 22 meetings.
In a showdown of 2 of the Big 12's - and nation's - top point guards, Robinson outdueled Oklahoma State's Andrea Riley, the conference's leading scorer, who led the Cowgirls with 30 points.
Despite coach Kurt Budke breaking out his rarely seen orange blazer as a motivational ploy, Oklahoma State (18-5, 6-3 Big 12) lost its first home game ever as a top-10 team. Oklahoma State remained tied with the Sooners for second place in the Big 12 behind undefeated No. 4 Nebraska. The Cowgirls lost by 21 at Nebraska on Wednesday.
Oklahoma (16-6, 6-3), which lost by 18 at home to Texas on Wednesday, avoided what would have been its first losing streak of the season.
