WACO, Texas (AP) — Nina Davis scored 18 points, Niya Johnson had 12 assists and No. 3 Baylor led throughout to stretch its winning streak to 14 games, 79-47 over Iowa State on Tuesday night. The Lady Bears (15-1, 4-0 Big 12) built a 22-point lead in the first half, when Johnson already had 11 of her assists.

Iowa State (11-4, 2-2) was coming off a 59-57 comeback victory Saturday over then-No. 3 Texas, when the Cyclones overcame an 18-point deficit for their first win over a top-five team in 11 years. They never recovered at Baylor, where they haven’t won since 1997.

Nicole Blaskowsky had 20 points with six 3-pointers for Iowa State. Bryanna Fernstrom had 14 points.
