KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ja’Mee Asberry scored 26 of her 28 points after halftime and Oklahoma State rallied from 15 down for an 89-80 overtime win over Bedlam rival Oklahoma in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament on Friday night.

Asberry made a pair of key 3-pointers late in the second half that helped close the deficit for the third-seeded Cowgirls (18-7). Oklahoma State advanced to a semifinal matchup with No. 2 seed and 17th-ranked West Virginia on Saturday.

The sixth-seeded Sooners (12-12) led 66-56 on Madi Williams’ layup with 5:28 left in the fourth quarter. The Cowgirls went on an 8-0 run and Asberry later made 3s on back-to-back possessions to cut the deficit to 71-70 with 2:08 left.

Natasha Mack made the second of two free throws to tie the game at 71 with 1:28 left and both teams missed on opportunities in the final minute. The Cowgirls pulled away with a 9-0 run in overtime and finished the game making 12 of their last 18 shots.

Mack had 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting and grabbed 16 rebounds. Lauren Fields added 12 points, Kassidy De Lapp scored 11 and Taylen Collins had 10.

Oklahoma had 8-0 and 9-0 runs in the second quarter to lead by as many as 15 points and go into halftime with a 36-23 lead.
