The Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-10 overall and 2-4 in the Big 12 Conference) couldn't overcome the Oklahoma offense or their own mistakes in Saturday's 77-66 loss to the Sooners in Norman, Okla. No. 24 Oklahoma (15-4 and 4-3) is on a athee-game winning streak, while Nebraska has lost seven of the last nine.
"It's a nice feeling to have a three-game winning streak right now," said Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson. "A week ago, we had lost two straight games. And now our kids are playing better and improving and that is still my main focus presently."
J. R. Raymond sparked the Oklahoma offense in the first half, scoring 20 of his 25 points in the first 20 minutes.
"For the first time in a long time, I finally played the way I'm capable of playing," Raymond said. "We came out of the gates with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. We were ready to go."
Poor shooting from the field and the line kept the 'fuskers from making a serious run at Oklahoma. Nebraska was just 3-14 from the field in the last 14 minutes of the second half, and shot 15-27 from the free-throw line.
Colorado upsets Oklahoma State The Buffaloes (13-7 and 3-4) had five players score in double figures as they ended Oklahoma State's five-game winning streak with an 81-71 win Saturday in Boulder, Colo.
Colorado forward Jamahl Mosley scored 20 points and pulled down 11 boards.
Maurice Baker, who had a game-high 27 points, led the Cowboys (13-4 and 4-2).
Texas rolled by No. 7 Arizona
Texas tolered by No. 14 Arizona.
Maybe taking a break from Big 12 Conference play wasn't the best idea for the Texas Longhorns (15-5). The Wildcats (14-5) stretched their winning streak to six games in Saturday's 80-52 pounding of Texas.
Arizona bolted out to a 21-6 lead and never looked back. Texas didn't have the firepower to hang in the game, as it made just 22-71 shots from the field.
Chris Owens was the lone bright spot for the Longhorns, scoring 19
points and collecting 17 rebounds. However, those 19 points came at a high price, because Owens hit just eight out of 25 shots.
No. 15 Iowa State cruises against Texas A&M
Jake Sullivan led a balanced scoring attack with 14 points and Iowa State hit 21-of-25 free throws as the No. 17 Cyclones rolled to a 72-53 victory at Texas A&M on Sunday.
The Cyclones (17-3 and 5-2) controlled the game from the start, hitting their first 11 free-throws against the undersized Aggies (6-13 and 0-7), who lost their seventh-straight game and dropped to 0-5 all-time against Iowa State.
The crowd at Reed Arena observed a moment of silence before the game in honor of 10 people, including two Oklahoma State basketball players, who died in a plane crash Saturday night while returning from a game in Colorado.
Martin Rancik scored 13 points, Jamaal Tinsley added 11, and Tyra Pearson had 10 points for the Cyclones.

It's clear Baylor didn't like being ousted from the women's Top 25 poll last week.
How else do you explain the Bears' dominance against ranked teams in their last two games?
Baylor's 73-51 win at No. 21 Texas on Saturday came just three days after handing No. 8 Iowa State its first Big 12 Conference loss of the season, 79-74
If Baylor was trying to send a message to Associated Press pollsters, it worked. The Bears re-entered the poll this week at No. 20, which marked the first time the Big 12 has had six ranked teams at one time.
Baylor snapped a three-game losing skid with the wins and moved to 4-3 in the Big 12.
The Bears can attribute a lot of their success to forward Danielle Crockrom, who has scored 56 points in the last two games. Crockrom's 22.7 points per game ranks seventh in the nation.
Baylor (15-3 overall and 4-3 in the Big 12) got a big lift from freshman Jessika Stratton, who matched a career-high 17 points off the-bench against Texas.
Bench-scoring accounted for 20 points against Texas (15-6 and 3-4).
"That's what we needed," Crockrom said. "Our bench has helped us tremendously."
No. 10 Sooners rip No. 12 Red Raiders
No. 10 Oklahoma came on top in a battle of Big 12 superpowers with an 84-66 victory against No. 12 Texas Tech on Sunday in Norman, Okla.
Oklahoma (15-4 and 6-1), which never trailed in the game, was lethal from the field, knocking down 59 percent of its shots. Caton Hill led the Sooners with 22 points and Stacey Dales added 21.
The win put Alabama (15-4 and 6-1) in a tie with Iowa State (16-2 and 6-1) and Texas Tech (15-3 and 6-1) for first place in the Big 12 standings.
No. 8 Cyclones trounce No. 23 Buffaloes
No. 8 Iowa State rebounded from its
loss to Baylor with a 95-61 shellacking of No. 23 Colorado (14-4 and 5-2) on Saturday in front of a season-high 12,962 fans at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.
Angie Welle scored 28 points and Megan Taylor added 23 as the Cyclones halted the Buffaloes' five-game winning streak.
Hot shooting fueled Iowa State in the game. The Cyclones made 65 percent of their shots, including 12-of-15 from behind the arc.
Cowgirls conquer Aggies
Oklahoma State rolled past Texas A&M on Saturday, 85-69, thanks to 61 points from bench scoring.
Junior Jessica Bates led Oklahoma State with 18 points and was one of five Cowgirls in double figures.
Junior guard Mandy Stuber scored a career-high 16 points off-the-bench after missing the previous two games.
Texas A&M was led by Jaynetta Saunders, who scored a game-high 31 points.
