- — The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLI­S>> Caitlin Clark became the all-time leading women’s scorer in major college basketball by scoring 33 points to pass Lynette Woodard and post her 17th career triple-double for sixth-ranked Iowa in a 108-60 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday night.

Clark also broke the NCAA single-season record by sinking eight 3-pointers for a total of

156 in 2023-24. She now has 3,650 career points. Woodard had 3,649 points for Kansas from 1977-81, before the NCAA sanctioned the sport. Earlier this month, Clark broke Kelsey Plum’s NCAA scoring record (3,527 points).

NO. 20 OKLAHOMA 71, NO. 3 TEXAS 70>> Lexy Keys hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 4 seconds left to help host Oklahoma beat Texas and clinch the outright Big 12 title.

After a flurry of action, Oklahoma got possession trailing 70-68 with 13.4 seconds remaining. Skylar Vann missed, but scrambled to the ball and saved it to Keys. She hit the corner shot to push her game total to 16 points.

Texas called timeout after Keys’ basket, but couldn’t get off a shot before the buzzer.

Oklahoma now has won 12 of 13.

NO. 2 OHIO STATE 67, MICHIGAN 51>> Jacy Sheldon scored 22 points to lead Ohio State to its 15th straight win and the Big

Ten regular-season title with a win over Michigan at home.

Cotie Mcmahon had 18 points and seven rebounds for the Buckeyes (25-3, 16-1 Big Ten), who had already clinched at least a share of the title and the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament with a win over Maryland on Sunday.

The game was revenge for the Buckeyes, whose only conference loss this season came in a 69-60 shocker against Michigan in Ann Arbor Dec.

30. Ohio State hasn’t lost since.

NO. 10 UCONN 67, VILLANOVA 46>> Paige Bueckers scored 31 points and Aaliyah Edwards added her 16th double-double of the season as Uconn beat Villanova.

Bueckers made 11 of her 15 shots from the floor and Edwards finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds in the final regular-season home game for Connecticu­t (25-5, 17-0 Big East). The Huskies had already clinched the regular-season conference title and the top seed in next week’s Big East Tournament.

IOWA STATE 82, NO. 15 KANSAS STATE 76>> Addy Brown scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Iowa State held off Kansas State in the fourth quarter to tighten the Big 12 Conference standings with one game left.

Brown, a freshman from Derby, Kansas, had 11 points in the fourth quarter, including three free throws in the last minute, and finished 9 of 13 from the field.
