NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Hallie Christofferson scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds Thursday night, and No. 24 Iowa State beat No. 22 Oklahoma 72-68 to move into second place in the Big 12. Chelsea Poppens added 19 points and eight rebounds for the Cyclones (18-5, 9-4 Big 12), who completed a season sweep of the Sooners. Iowa State won the previous meeting 82-61 on Jan. 15 in Ames, Iowa. Nicole Blaskowsky scored 15 for Iowa State. The Cyclones’ lead never got below four points down the stretch.

Three players scored 14 points for the Sooners (18-6, 8-4). Sharane Campbell, Aaryn Ellenberg and Nicole Griffin shared the scoring honors with Morgan Hook scoring 13 for Oklahoma. Four Sooners fouled out as Iowa State was 27 of 34 from the free-throw line, led by Christofferson who was 11 for 14.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Devyn Marble scored 22 points and Melsahn Basabe blocked a potential game-tying layup with 21 seconds left to help Iowa hold off Penn State 74-72 on Thursday night. Iowa (16-9, 5-7 Big Ten) led by at least 10 twice in the game but couldn’t put away the league’s last-place team until late.

The Nittany Lions (8-16, 0-12) went 0 for 2 from the field in the last 30 seconds with a chance to tie or take the lead, capped by Basabe’s block of Jermaine Marshall’s drive to the paint. Marble was fouled on the ensuing inbounds and hit two foul shots for a four-point lead with 20.9 seconds left.

Penn State had one last chance, down three with 1.5 seconds left and Marshall on the foul line. Marshall hit both shots, but the Nittany Lions whiffed on a chance for a game-tying putback if Marshall had missed at the line.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A newspaper says the athletics department at the University of Iowa last year erroneously spent more than $2,000 from a fund for student athletes to send administrators to sporting events. The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports officials blame an accounting error on using the money by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to send administrators to wrestling and track events. The money has been returned.

NCAA offers annual funding for student athletes through two programs to help with personal expenses ranging from parking permits to travel costs. UI received more than $450,000 last year from the two programs. School officials say rules on how to spend the money are deliberately broad. They say funds used for document shredding, displays for Carver-Hawkeye Arena, child care and legal fees are not a mistake.
