COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M is on a roll. And it couldn’t have come at a better time.

The 10th-ranked Aggies beat Oklahoma State 79-49 on Thursday night for their fifth straight win and are hoping it gives them momentum heading into their regular-season finale against Baylor.
Takia Starks and Tanisha Smith scored 18 points each in the win that put them in a tie with the Bears for second place in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma.
Texas A&M (23-5, 11-4 Big 12) led throughout and opened the second half with an 11-2 run to stretch its lead to 50-29 with about 16 minutes left.
After losing by 10 to No. 3 Oklahoma in their last game, the Cowgirls suffered their worst loss of the season Thursday night.
Oklahoma State (15-13, 4-11) got 15 points from Andrea Riley as the Cowgirls lost their fourth straight. OSU shot 33 percent overall, and Riley made just three of 14 shots and was 1-of-7 on 3-pointers.
Oklahoma State coach Kurt Budke wasn’t in the mood to talk much after the game.
"There’s really nothing to say,” he said.
When asked what the problem with his team was Thursday he said: "No idea.”
As if getting blown out weren’t bad enough, there was also the matter of the brief shoving match on the Cowgirls’ bench between Riley and trainer Amy Shipman.
"I have no idea what you are talking about,” Budke said when asked about the altercation.
