WACO, Texas (AP) _ Courtney Paris scores 21 of her 32 points after halftime as eighth-ranked Oklahoma overcomes a 10-point deficit and beats ninth-ranked Baylor 76-to-63 Wednesday.

Oklahoma extended its record Big 12 Conference winning streak to 22 games.

The Sooners were down 39-29 in the opening minute of the second half. After that, Baylor couldn't do anything to slow down OU's dominating 6-foot-4 sophomore center.

Paris then had a layup, the first of her 17 points in a 29-to-17 stretch over 10-and-a-half minutes that put OU ahead to stay.

Paris also had 16 rebounds, her 42nd straight double-double. Chelsi Welch and Leah Rush both had 13 points, and Rush also had 13 rebounds.

Bernice Mosby led Baylor with 26 points and 11 rebounds.

OU moves to 13-and-1 overall and 3-and-oh in Big 12 play while Baylor falls to 15-and-2 and 2-and-1.
