AMES, Iowa (AP) —Seanna Johnson hit a layup with 19 seconds left, and Number 3 Texas’s unbeaten start is history after Iowa State rallied from an 18-point deficit to stun third-ranked Texas 59-57 on Saturday. Nikki Moody had 17 points to lead Iowa State (11-3, 2-1 Big 12), which defeated a top-three team at home for the first time in 12 years. The way the Cyclones did it sure was a head scratcher though.

Texas led by 37-19 late in the first half. But Iowa State answered with a 38-13 run and the Longhorns went cold in the second half, hitting just 8 of 38 shots. Iowa State plays at Number 5 Baylor on Tuesday.
