Stillwater, Okla. -- Again Kansas University came close, and again the Jayhawks came up short.

The KU women's basketball team rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit, but fell to Oklahoma State, 60-56, on Wednesday at Gallagher-Iba Arena. It was the Jayhawks' 19th-straight regular-season Big 12 Conference loss, and it came against the team with the worst overall record in the league.

Trisha Skibbe collected 21 points and eight rebounds for Oklahoma State (5-9 overall, 1-2 Big 12). Chantoya Hawkins scored 12 points and had four rebounds for OSU.

Kansas (7-7, 0-3) outshot Oklahoma State 46 percent to 39 percent in the first half, but still trailed 35-28 at the half. Both teams shot 41 percent from the field for the game.

Erica Hallman led Kansas with 17 points, three rebounds and two assists. Tamara Ransburg scored 10 points and had four rebounds.

It was KU's second straight close loss. The Jayhawks fell to Iowa State, 72-70, on Saturday in Ames, Iowa.

Counting two losses in the Big 12 tournament, Kansas has lost 21 straight games to Big 12 teams. KU hasn't beaten a league opponent since a 66-56 victory over Texas A&M in the 2001 regular-season finale.

Kansas and Oklahoma State committed a combined 53 turnovers and were a combined 4-for-20 on three-point tries.

OSU doubled up the Jayhawks, 16-8, on made free throws. Kansas was 8-for-10 from the free-throw line to OSU's 16-for-21. Kansas was called for 20 fouls to OSU's 19.

KU will play host to Colorado on Saturday. Tipoff will be 1:05 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
