AUSTIN, Texas - Edwina Brown scored 28 points, including 14 in a
decisive second-half run, to lead No. 25 Texas past Arizona State 76-63 Tuesday
night.
Brown, who leads the Big 12 Conference in scoring, was 14-of-24 from the floor. Texas shot 53 percent.
Although listed as a forward, Brown is the Longhorns' best ballhandler and created most of her points on drives to the basket against Arizona State's man-to-man defense. She also had four assists.
Asha Hill added 15 points and eight assists and Dana Godfrey scored 12 points for Texas (8-3). Alisha Sare added 13 points in her first start for the Longhorns.
Kitch Kitchen led Arizona State (7-2) with 17 points but after going 7-for-7 shooting in the first half was only 1-of-8 in the second.
Sarah Allen gave Arizona State a 43-36 lead on a 3-pointer with 17:09 to play before Brown's layup sparked a 22-2 Texas run.
Brown scored the first six points in the run that put Texas ahead 60-45 with 9:39 left.
Arizona State cut the deficit to 64-55 on Rachel Holt's layup but got no closer.
Kristine Sand scored 16 points and Theresa Jantzen added 10 for Arizona State.
The Sun Devils shot 50 percent in the first half but just 36 percent in the second.
The teams combined to shoot just nine free throws. Texas was 0 for 2 from the foul line, the first time since 1977 the Longhorns have played a game without making a free throw.
