Oklahoma earned its first win at Hilton Coliseum since 2008 with a 75-54 victory over No. 20 Iowa State Tuesday night.

The Sooners (12-7, 3-3 Big 12) handed the Cyclones(14-4, 3-4) their fourth straight loss, and third straight at home to match their longest losing streak in Big 12 history.

The Sooners controlled the paint and forced the Cyclones to shoot from the perimeter. Iowa State managed just four 3-pointers on 26 attempts and were outscored 36-22 in the paint.

The Sooners' leading scorer Aaryn Ellenberg had just two points in the first half, but exploded for 20 over the final 20 minutes.

Oklahoma led 30-26 at halftime.

Ellenberg also had the assignment of guarding ISU freshman Jadda Buckley, who had a career-high 29 points on 9-of-10 field goal shooting in earlier matchup, but was held to zero Tuesday night.

Iowa State played without its leading scorer Hallie Christofferson, who had 15 points and eight rebounds, for the final eight minutes after fouling out.

OU center Nicole Griffin scored 12 points and guard Sharane Campbell totaled 10 points and a game-high nine rebounds.

Nikki Moody scored 18 points for the Cyclones.
