LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Jia Perkins scored 27 points, including
six 3-pointers, to lead Texas Tech to a 72-41 victory over
Kansas State on Wednesday.
Tech's Natalie Ritchie added another 10 points for the Raiders (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today; No. 12 Associated Press), including two 3-pointers.
The Raiders (16-3, 7-1 Big 12) came out strong during the
first half, leading by 28 points at the half, 49-21.
Perkins hit three of her 3-pointers by the 12:15 mark, allowing
the Raiders to take a 20-4 lead. They held the Wildcats (11-8,
1-7) to four points until a technical foul was assessed on Texas Tech
coach Marsha Sharp for questioning a foul called on Plenette
Pierson and then throwing her arms up in disgust at the referee.
Kansas State's Kristin Rethman hit the two free throws before
the Raiders went on a 24-10 run to lead the Bobcats 46-15 with
1:52 in the half.
Nicole Ohlde scored 15 points to lead Kansas State, which
suffered its fifth consecutive defeat against the Raiders.
The victory tied the Raiders for the longest current home-court
winning streak in the nation at 40 games. Kent also has 40
consecutive home victories.
It was Sharp's 450th career victory. She is 450-137 in her 19th
year at Tech.
