NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Conference scoring leader Danielle Adams scored 31 points, including the decisive free throws with 7.6 seconds left, and No. 6 Texas A&M won its 12th straight game by beating No. 13 Oklahoma 80-78 on Wednesday night to move into sole possession of first place in the Big 12.

It was the second straight road win over a ranked foe for Texas A&M (18-1, 6-0), which won for the first time ever at Iowa State on Saturday. The Aggies won’t have long to savor either win, though, as they’re set to host No. 1 Baylor on Sunday in yet another conference showdown.

Danielle Robinson led Oklahoma (15-4, 5-1) with 33 points and almost single-handedly fueled a comeback from a 17-point first-half deficit. But Robinson, an 87 percent free throw shooter, missed the front end of a one-and-one opportunity with 30.6 seconds left and her driving shot over Adams as time expired wasn’t close.
