LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Courtney Paris and Danielle Robinson each scored 19 points to lead No. 10 Oklahoma over Texas Tech 65-55 Wednesday night.

Paris, who also got 22 rebounds, extended her double-double streak to 87 games.

She struggled in the first half but with her team down, Paris came out and scored the Sooners first seven points. Robinson picked up from there, scoring eight of OU's next 12 points, including a basket to tie it at 48.

Jenna Plumley hit her third 3 of the game to put OU up for good at 51-50.

The comeback by Oklahoma (21-5, 11-3 Big 12) included a 14-4 run for a 60-52 lead with four minutes remaining.

Tech (16-12, 4-10) was held to two field goals in an 11-minute span late in the game and hit on only nine of 17 free throws.

The Sooners, who last month beat Tech 78-39 to hand the Lady Raiders their worst loss since 1990, have now won 10 of their last 11 games.

Jordan Murphree scored 18 points and Maria Moore added 12 to lead the Lady Raiders.

Tech led 36-29 at halftime. The Lady Raiders tied it at 16 and used a 19-5 run, with Murphree scoring nine points, to go up 31-21.

During the spurt, the Sooners went 10 straight possessions without a field goal in a six-minute span. But OU battled back, using a 6-0 run to whittle the deficit to 31-27. Murphree hit her second 3 of the half to give the Lady Raiders their edge at the break.
