NORMAN, Okla. -- Dionnah Jackson scored 18 points and Laura Andrews added 15 -- all in the second half -- and Oklahoma got charged up by a shoving match before putting away No. 16 Kansas State 77-61 on Sunday.

Claire Coggins made two free throws with 17:17 to play to bring Kansas State (17-5, 8-3 Big 12) within 44-37, but she got Oklahoma (13-9, 5-6) fired up in the process. After Lauren Shoush fouled Coggins on a fastbreak layup try, Coggins shoved Shoush in the back, but no foul was called.

After Coggins hit her foul shots, Andrews drilled a 3-pointer from the left wing, Jackson scored on a fastbreak, and Erin Higgins hit a 3-pointer that bounced twice on the rim and banked off the backboard before falling in.
