<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In the league’s second overtime game of the day, the No. 22 Iowa State Cyclones squeaked past the Baylor women’s basketball team, 81-77, in front of the second-largest crowd
at the Ferrell Center this season in the team’s annual Play4Kay game on Saturday. The overtime outing marked the second time this season, and just the third time in the Nicki Collen era, that a game needed more than 40 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The dynamic rookie duo of Darianna Littlepage-Buggs and Bella Fontleroy led the offensive charge for the Bears, finishing with 19 points apiece. In limited minutes due to
foul trouble, Caitlin Bickle added 13 with a perfect 6-for-6 showing at the charity stripe. Senior Jaden Owens accounted for 10 of Baylor’s 16 assists, leading the Bears in the category for the 17th time this season. Additionally, she grabbed a career-high
seven rebounds and tallied a game-high four steals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

TCU, 64-42 in Waco. Three players reached double figures led by Caitlin Bickle’s 19-point performance, which at the time, was a season high for the forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
