WACO, Texas (AP) -- Angela Tisdale and Rachel Allison were among four players who scored in double figures for the Lady Bears (22-3, 10-2 Big 12), the only Big 12 team without a loss at home, as they defeated the Sooners 79-59 Sunday.

Oklahoma (18-5, 8-3) had a seven-game winning streak snapped.

Tisdale, the lone senior and only player remaining from Baylor's 2005 national championship team had 23 points. Jessica Morrow added 20 points, while Allison had 16 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Jessika Bradley added 10 points and 10 rebounds. Danielle Robinson had 12 points.

Courtney Paris and Ashley Paris both had double-doubles for the Sooners. Courtney had 21 points and 15 rebounds for her 84th consecutive double-double dating back to December 2005, and Ashley had 13 points and 14 rebounds.

It was only the second time Oklahoma lost when the pair of 6-foot-4 sisters accomplished that. The other was also against Baylor, 84-73 last month in a game that featured 15 lead changes and 10 ties in the Sooners' last loss.

This time, there was only one tie (2-2) and four lead changes. And all those came early.

Oklahoma had an early 6-2 lead after consecutive baskets by Robinson, a short jumper and then a breakaway layup after a turnover. The Lady Sooners led 8-7 when Courtney Paris missed a shot, eventually grabbed the rebound that rattled around several players and made a layup.

The Sooners then missed six straight shots, and Allison hit a go-ahead basket to start a 7-0 run. When Allison added a short jumper to make it 13-8, Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale called timeout. Before going to their huddle, Allison and Tisdale stopped and leaped, excitedly bumping into each other.

Baylor led by as many as 13 points before halftime, then had a 59-39 lead with 9:45 left after Morrow drove for a layup and then hit the free throw.

The Lady Bears had lost two of three games since starting guard Jhasmin Player tore knee ligaments Feb. 2. Both losses were on the road, including 61-51 at Texas on Wednesday. Back at home, they were unbeatable again.

When Allison ran into the Paris sisters in the first half, she passed the ball around them to Morrow for a jumper that made it 29-18. Another basket by Morrow made it 35-22 with just over a minute left before halftime.
