Heather Ezell scored 25 points as No. 21 Iowa State routed 10th-ranked Texas A&M, 67-50, last night in Ames, Iowa, handing the Aggies their worst loss of the season.
Kelsey Bolte added 17 points for the Cyclones (17-4, 5-2 Big 12), who won their fourth straight and improved to 12-0 at home.
Texas A&M entered play ranked second in the nation in three-point percentage defense, but that didn't faze Ezell. She made four straight three-pointers to open the second half.
Takia Starks scored 18 points to lead the Aggies (17-4, 5-3).

· KANSAS STATE 58, MISSOURI 54: Ashley Sweat had 25 points and made the decisive plays down the stretch, helping the No. 18 Wildcats hold off the visiting Tigers.
Kansas State (19-2, 6-2 Big 12) entered with the nation's best scoring defense at 49.8 points per game, but it was Missouri's defense that dictated the flow of the game.
The Tigers (10-11, 1-7) repeatedly forced the Wildcats deep into the shot clock, resulting in difficult shots.
