No. 8 Oklahoma 80, New Mexico 58
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Courtney Paris scored a school-record 43 points and grabbed 25 rebounds, helping Oklahoma bounce back from its first loss. The 6-foot-4 sophomore All-America center broke the Oklahoma single-game scoring record of 40 points Phylesha Whaley set against Arkansas in March 1999. Paris matched the second-best rebounding game in school history, missing her own school record by one. She completed her 39th straight double-double with 4:18 left in the first half, the second time this season she's had a first-half double-double and the sixth time in her career. Paris joined Baylor's Danielle Cockrum as the only Big 12 Conference player ever to have at least 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game. Cockrum did it against Texas A & amp;M in January 2001. Paris also set a Big 12 record for field goals in a game, finishing 20-of-26. Oklahoma (10-1) ended Lobos' nine-game winning streak. Oklahoma had its 23-game regular-season winning streak snapped by Ohio State on Dec. 20.
