LUBBOCK, Texas - No. 9 Texas Tech held Oklahoma State to eight points in the first half Sunday en route to an 82-29 rout that extended the Lady Raiders' home winning streak to 39, the nation's longest.
Texas Tech led 45-8 at halftime, the lowest point total ever for a Lady Raiders' opponent at the half.
Jia Perkins scored 19 points for Texas Tech (15-2, 6-0 Big 12). Katrisa O'Neal had 10 points at the half, more than the entire Oklahoma State team.
The Cowgirls (9-8, 1-5) were led by Jessica Spinner's nine points.

It took until 16:28 of the second half for Oklahoma State to hit double digits. It was Oklahoma State's first basket since a free throw with 8:49 left in the half.
With just more than eight minutes left, Tech padded its lead to 47 points. The Lady Raiders' freshmen then took the court.
