Home Win Streak Ends at 26 Games for Iowa State

Brooke Reves scored 24 points and Suzi Raymant had 20 as Kansas ended No. 10 Iowa State’s home win streak at 26 games with a 79-71 Big 12 victory Wednesday night at Ames, Iowa.

Kansas (18-6, 9-3) forced 27 turnovers with a trapping, physical defense that took Iowa State (18-5, 9-3) out of its game. The Jayhawks built a 17-point lead, then held off a late flurry by the Cyclones, whose 55% shooting wasn’t enough to offset their ballhandling problems.

Iowa State lost at home for the first time since March 16, 1998, when it was beaten by Rutgers, 62-61, in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

The Cyclones had not lost a regular-season game at home since a 76-52 setback to Nebraska on Jan. 30, 1997.

No. 5 Notre Dame 70, Villanova 52--Ruth Riley had 14 points to lead four players in double figures and the Irish (22-2, 13-0) had runs of 8-0 and 9-2 early in the second half en route to a Big East victory over the Wildcats (14-9, 7-5) at Villanova, Pa.

No. 12 Texas Tech 66, Nebraska 62--Aleah Johnson scored 18 points in leading the Red Raiders (20-3, 9-3) to a Big 12 victory over the Cornhuskers at Lubbock, Texas.

Texas 77, No. 18 Oklahoma 70--Joruth Woods scored 15 points and three others were in double figures as the Longhorns (17-8, 8-4) beat the Sooners (20-4, 10-2) in a Big 12 game at Norman, Okla.

No. 19 Boston College 72, Georgetown 49--Cal Bouchard made six of eight three-pointers and finished with 25 points as the Eagles (20-6, 9-3) earned consecutive 20-win seasons with a Big East victory over the Hoyas (13-10, 6-6) at Boston.
