ISU women tripped up in Top-25 matchup

AMES (AP) — Taliah Scott hit the winning shot with 2.9 seconds left and scored all 21 of her points in the second half, leading No. 22 Baylor past No. 10 and previously unbeaten Iowa State 72-70 on Sunday.

Baylor (13-3, 2-1 Big 12) let the clock run down after Iowa State (14-1, 2-1) had tied it on Jada Williams’ 3-pointer. Scott got a screen from Kiersten Johnson to give her a wide-open look from the left elbow. Time ran out on Iowa State when a pass to Audi Crooks in the post was knocked away.

Darianna Littlepage-Buggs had 12 of her 13 points in the first quarter and matched her career high with 20 rebounds for Baylor.

Crooks had 26 points but was limited to four in the second half and fell short of a sixth straight game with at least 30 points. She had her way early but Baylor packed the lane in the second half to limit her touches, and she attempted only two shots in the fourth quarter.

The Bears picked up their second win over a top-10 team. They beat then-No. 7 Duke 58-52 in the season opener.

Iowa State visits Cincinnati on Wednesday.
