AMES, Iowa (AP) — Ashley Joens had 32 points and a season-high 16 rebounds, and her go-ahead layup with 10.2 seconds left helped No. 24 Iowa State get past shorthanded Oklahoma 64-63. The Cyclones (10-4, 6-1 Big 12 Conference) have won eight of their last nine, including a 75-71 victory over then sixth-ranked Baylor to snap the Bears’ 61-game home winning streak. Joens pulled the Cyclones to 63-62 with 21 seconds left and her game winner followed a Sooners’ turnover on a charging call. After an Oklahoma timeout, Navaeh Tot and Tatum Veitenheimer each missed shots to end it. Taylor Robertson scored 26 points for Oklahoma (4-6, 1-4), which only dressed eight players.

The Atlantic boys basketball team took control of their Tuesday night game at Red Oak late in the second quarter and pulled away for a 71-50 victory. The Trojans got a bucket right before the first half buzzer from Dayton Templeton to give them an 8 point lead, 28-20, at the break. The Trojans then opened up the second half with a 9-0 run to blow the game open. Skyler Handlos scored all 9 of those points in the run and dropped in 13 of his game high 24 points in that third quarter.

Atlantic led 48-33 by the end of the third and never let the Tigers get closer than 17 the rest of the way. Grant Sturm was the only other Trojan to finish in double figures with 10 but the Trojans had 10 different players get in the scorebook. Some role players took advantage of some added playing time and helped Atlantic seal the win. Keaton Juhl was a late spark with 8 points in the final quarter, including a couple of left wing threes. Atlantic improves to 4-5 on the season and will now prep to host Harlan on Thursday night.

Red Oak was led by 19 points from Baylor Bergren and 10 from Max DeVries. The Tigers fall to 5-7 with the loss and they will travel to face 3A #10 Glenwood on Thursday night.
