Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2521361, member: 6927"] A couple of upsets: [LIST] [*][B]Purdue[/B] may have just played its way into the right side of the bubble, pulling off their second consecutive win over a top-25 team with a huge road victory (76-70) at [B]#18 Iowa[/B], led by the 34-point output from Andreona Keys. Megan Gustafson of Iowa had 37 points and 14 rebounds in the losing effort. [*]The same can perhaps be said about [B]Kansas State[/B], after their convincing 80-64 win over [B]#20 Oklahoma State[/B]. Kaylee Page of KSU hit six 3-pointers and, with her 20 points, led five players in double figures. Kaylee Jensen had 24 points and 13 boards for OSU. [/LIST] A couple of close calls: [LIST] [*][B]#21 Rutgers[/B], after losing ugly to Purdue, got back in the win column with a 70-60 overtime win over [B]Minnesota[/B]. Rutgers was led in scoring by Tyler Scaife (25 points) and Stasha Carey (23), but they got all they could handle from Minnesota, which was led by Carlie Wagner and Destiny Pitts with 22 points apiece. (Pitts is a candidate for Big Ten FOY.) [*][B]#7 Texa[/B]s got a tougher-than-expected game from [B]Kansas[/B]. The Jayhawks actually led by 2 at halftime and, after Texas took control in 3Q, came as close as 7 points midway through 4Q before the Longhorns finally pulled away for good. Texas was led by Ariel Atkins' 22 points, but as a team continues to underwhelm. [/LIST] Ongoing: [LIST] [*][B]#15 West Virginia[/B] is up by 6 early in 4Q against [B]TCU[/B], which is fresh off its upset of Texas. The good news for the Mountaineers is that Kristina King, who broke her foot last month and wasn't projected back until early February, is back on the court. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
