Coach Kristy Curry didn't call up the play that sealed Texas Tech's 65-62 win over No. 8 Texas yesterday in Lubbock, Tex.
With the game tied at 62, Tilmila Martin was supposed to drive to the basket. But the junior guard got too deep along the baseline and kicked the ball out to Dominic Seals.
Seals, who finished with 16 points, hit a short jumper with 7.4 seconds remaining to give the Lady Raiders their fifth straight win.
"That was not what we wanted to run, but players make plays and you have to credit our kids," Curry said.
Jordan Murphree had 19 points for the Lady Raiders (10-4, 1-0 Big 12), who won their second straight over the Longhorns (12-3, 0-1) in Lubbock.
Brittainey Raven had 21 points for Texas, which dropped its third straight road game. Kathleen Nash added 20 points.
· CONNECTICUT 85, WEST VIRGINIA 55: Renee Montgomery scored 28 points to lead the top-ranked Huskies past the Mountaineers in Morgantown, W.Va.
Connecticut (15-0, 2-0 Big East) improved to 20-1 against the Mountaineers. The Huskies have won every game this season by double digits.
West Virginia (10-5, 0-3) entered the game with one of the top defenses in the nation, allowing just 52 points per game. But Connecticut almost had that by halftime, when it led 47-30.
· TEXAS A&M 62, MISSOURI 56: Danielle Gant scored 22 points, going 10 for 10 from the field, and the No. 3 Aggies withstood a late rally to beat the Tigers in Columbia, Mo., in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
