Iowa State (14-16) will play seventh-ranked and No. 2 seed Texas (24-5) in a Saturday quarterfinal.

Carleton shot just 2 of 12 from the floor but made 9 of 10 free throws in the first half. She finished 5-of-17 shooting, made two 3-pointers and 12 of 13 free throws. Emily Durr added 15 points and Madison Wise had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Cyclones.

Brittany Brewer and Lyndsey Whilby scored 11 points apiece to lead Texas Tech. Haley Bruedigam chipped in 10 points.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — If this was Trae Young’s last home game for Oklahoma, he went out a winner. Young had 15 points and six assists to help Oklahoma defeat Iowa State 81-60 on Friday night. The freshman who leads the nation in scoring and assists is projected to be a high draft pick if he leaves school. He has said he will sit down with his family after the season to make a decision.

Kameron McGusty scored 18 points and Christian James added 15 for the Sooners (18-12, 8-10 Big 12), who needed the win to strengthen their NCAA Tournament resume after a blowout loss to Baylor earlier in the week. It was the first time Oklahoma won by more than 10 points since Jan. 3.

Lindell Wigginton scored 20 points for Iowa State (13-17, 4-14), which lost its sixth straight. The Cyclones were without injured starters Nick Weiler-Babb and Solomon Young for the fourth straight game, and they continued to struggle. Iowa State shot just 32.3 percent from the field.

Iowa State made just 15 of 27 free throws. Oklahoma made one more free throw than the Cyclones, despite having seven fewer attempts. Prohm, taking blame for Iowa State’s struggles: “We should be better. We are not. I take blame. Put it on me. I haven’t got them to perform on the level they need to. It’s unacceptable. It’s not what this program deserves. Bottom line. I get it. I know it. And it’s frustrating because it deserves better.”

UP NEXT: Iowa State will play in the Big 12 Tournament. Oklahoma will also play in the Big 12 Tournament.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Donte Thomas wrapped up his 13-point, 14-rebound double-double with a putback with 1.2 seconds left to lift Bradley to a 63-61 win over Drake on Friday in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.

Darrell Brown led the fifth-seeded Braves (20-12) with 24 points. He sank a clutch 3-pointer to tie the game at 61 with 2:49 to play. Both teams had opportunities after that, but the fourth-seeded Bulldogs (16-16) missed their last eight shots after Reed Timmer’s 3-pointer at 6:29 produced a 57-56 lead. Bradley had four misses between its last two baskets.

Bradley faces league champion Loyola Chicago in the semifinals on Saturday.
Drake, which hasn’t played in a MVC semifinal since 2008, closed the first half with a 10-2 run for a 35-27 lead. Bradley scored the first 12 points of the second half to go up 39-35 and the biggest lead after that was six points.

Timmer led the Bulldogs with 18 points. Drake shot 29 percent from the floor in the second half and was outrebounded 25-14 after intermission.
