Courtney Paris had 25 points and 16 rebounds for her 122nd career double-double as No. 2 Oklahoma clinched a share of the Big 12 title with a 73-63 win over Oklahoma State yesterday in Norman.
Oklahoma (25-3, 13-1) bounced back from a one-point loss Monday at No. 12 Texas A&M that ended the Sooners' 20-game winning streak.
Andrea Riley scored 29 points to lead Oklahoma State (15-12, 4-10), which suffered a serious blow to any hopes of receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
-- CONNECTICUT 81, SETON HALL 50: Maya Moore scored 18 points and Tina Charles added 16 to help the Huskies rout the Pirates in Hartford, Conn., clinching the Big East's regular season title.
Moore added seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocked shots as the Huskies improved to 29-0, 15-0. She even sang the national anthem, in a duet with junior forward Kaili McLaren.
Kandice Green led Seton Hall (15-13, 3-12) with 10 points.
-- LOUISVILLE 75, PITTSBURGH 51: Candyce Bingham scored a career-high 26 points to lead the No. 8 Cardinals, at home, to a win over the 15th-ranked Panthers.
Angel McCoughtry also scored 26 and grabbed seven rebounds for the Cardinals (26-3, 13-2 Big East).
The victory helped Louisville clinch the No. 2 seed in next week's Big East tournament. Pittsburgh (21-6, 11-4) also will have a bye to the quarterfinals as it will finish in the top four seeds.
