WACO ? Brittney Griner had 15 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks in just 24 minutes to help top-ranked Baylor beat McNeese State 90-50 on Wednesday night.

Freshman Sune Agbuke also had a double-double with 10 points and 15 rebounds for Baylor (12-0), which had six players score in double figures.

Odyssey Sims had 16, Kimetria Hayden 15, Destiny Williams 13 points and Ashley Field scored 10.

Caitlyn Baggett scored 18 for McNeese (9-3), which was picked to repeat as Southland Conference champions in a preseason media poll.

Nine blocks in Baylor's 66-61 win over Connecticut on Sunday gave Griner 455 blocked shots, a Big 12 record.

She was presented with a ceremonial game ball before tipoff marking the accomplishment.

Connecticut 72, Charleston 24: Bria Hartley scored 15 points and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 13 as the No. 2 Huskies (10-1) blasted the Cougars (2-8).

The Cougars made just seven of their 49 shots (14 percent) and turned the ball over 24 times. Charleston's 24 points were just four away from the best defensive effort ever by the Huskies (10-1).

But Connecticut's offense didn't look crisp. The Huskies shot just 44 percent, committed 14 turnovers and had their lowest scoring first half of the season with just 27 points.

Georgetown 71, Miami 46:Sugar Rodgers scored 24 points and the Hoyas limited the nation's highest-scoring team to 21 percent shooting and its fewest points this season as the No. 17 Hoyas (10-2) beat the No. 7 Hurricanes (9-2).

Georgetown stifled the Hurricanes from the start, going ahead 34-21 at halftime while holding Miami to just one field goal in the last six minutes. The Hoyas maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way in snapping a seven-game losing streak to Miami that dated to 2000.

Shenise Johnson led Miami with 10 points.

Kentucky 90, Samford 61:Samantha Drake scored 18 points and the No. 8 Wildcats (11-1) rebounded from their first loss of the season with their 31st straight nonconference home victory.

Paige Anderson led Samford with 24 points.

Texas Tech 75, Western Kentucky 38: Casey Morris scored 11 points to lead the No. 15 Lady Raiders (10-0), who are off to their best start since beginning the 2003-04 season 15-0.

Texas Tech never trailed after scoring the first 11 points of the game. Western Kentucky (3-9) missed its first nine shots and finished the game just 22 percent from the field.

LaTeira Owens scored seven points to lead Western Kentucky.

The win also gave Kristy Curry her first 10-0 start in 13 seasons as head coach at Texas Tech and Purdue.

Penn State 78, Bucknell 54:Maggie Lucas scored 22 points to help the No. 16 Nittany Lions (10-2) win their final non-league contest before Big Ten play starts next week.
