AMES, Iowa (AP) — Taurean Prince scored 20 points and 19th-ranked Baylor upset No. 12 Iowa State on the road 79-70 for its third straight win Wednesday night. The Bears (21-7, 9-6 Big 12) shot 14 of 26 from 3-point range, becoming the first team other than Kansas to win in Ames since 2012.

Baylor hit five straight 3s late in the second half, the last two by Prince, to take a 72-66 lead with 4:41 left. The Bears held Iowa State to just four points in the final 6:26. Jameel McKay had a career-high 21 points for the Cyclones (20-7, 10-5), who are now a game behind the first-place Jayhawks in the Big 12 with just three games to play.
