Texas Tech Falls to No. 3 Oklahoma
March 4, 2009
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Courtney Paris added to her record-setting double-double total with 12 points and 16 rebounds in the final home game of her illustrious career, and No. 3 Oklahoma survived a sloppy senior night to beat Texas Tech 61-49 and clinch the Big 12 championship outright. Danielle Robinson added 18 points and Courtney's twin sister, Ashley, had 15 points and 10 rebounds to help the Sooners (26-3, 14-1 Big 12) overcome 23 turnovers. After the Sooners trailed at halftime at home for only the second time this season, Robinson scored the final six points in a 10-0 surge that pushed Oklahoma ahead to stay. Her last two points came on a pair of free throws following a technical foul called against Kierra Mallard during a scrum for a loose ball, and that made it 38-30 with 16:09 to play. Mallard and Dominic Seals led Texas Tech (15-14, 5-10) with 11 points apiece.
