? Marlies Gipson had a season-high 21 points and 16 rebounds, and Kimberly Dietz hit four three-pointers in the second half to help No. 22 Kansas State win its ninth straight game, beating No. 14 Oklahoma State, 68-63, on Sunday.

Kansas State (14-5, 6-0 Big 12) moved into a tie with Baylor for the conference lead by winning its third straight game against a ranked foe. In Big 12 play, the Wildcats have also won at Texas A&M and Texas.

Kansas State’s 6-0 start is its best since the Big 12 came into existence with the 1996-97 season. The Wildcats started 8-0 in league play on three occasions as members of the Big Eight Conference.

Oklahoma State (16-3, 4-2) lost its second straight game. Andrea Riley led the Cowgirls with 34 points and added nine rebounds, but that wasn’t enough to keep Kansas State from ending Oklahoma State’s 12-game winning streak at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

No. 11 Oklahoma 65, No. 17 Georgia 57

Paris had 18 points and 14 boards to surpass the previous Big 12 record of 1,316 set by Baylor’s Sophia Young.
