NORMAN, Okla. — Angela Tisdale scored a career-high 35 points and Rachel Allison added 17 to help Baylor beat Oklahoma. Tisdale helped put some distance between the Bears (16-1, 4-0 Big 12) and Sooners when she scored seven points in an 8-1 run midway through the second half.

Courtney Paris had a season-high 28 points and 12 rebounds for her 76th double-double in a row for Oklahoma (11-4, 2-2),which had beaten Baylor six straight games.

No. 7 Stanford 60, Arizona State 56

TEMPE, Ariz. — Candice Wiggins scored 18 points and Jayne Appel added 16 as Stanford rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit.

No. 9 LSU 84, Mississippi State 31

BATON ROUGE, La. — Quianna Chaney scored 14 of her 16 points in the first half to help LSU rout Mississippi State. It was the Lady Tigers’ largest-ever margin of victory in Southeastern Conference play. LSU (14-3, 3-0 SEC) started fast, hitting their first five shots and jumping out to a 9-0 lead. Mississippi State (12-6, 0-3) hit their first field goal with 17:18 left in the first half, but LSU then built a 22-point lead during the next eight minutes through a 17-2 run.

No. 12 Georgia 71, Alabama 53

ATHENS, Ga. — Tasha Humphrey scored a season-high 25 points and Georgia snapped out of its recent malaise. The Lady Dogs ended a losing streak at two games, avoiding an almost unprecedented freefall.

But playing at home against a young Alabama team, Georgia never had much reason to worry. Georgia (15-3, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) won its 16th consecutive home game and 13th straight against the Crimson Tide. Camilla Blands scored 16 to lead Alabama (8-11, 1-3), which lost its third straight.
