STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Jordan Hosey and Imani Boyette each scored 12 points and No. 4 Texas jumped out to a big early lead and routed Oklahoma State 78-48 on Saturday night.

Boyette added 11 rebounds, and Empress Davenport and Ariel Atkins each had nine points for the Longhorns (15-0, 4-0 Big 12). They led 25-7 after one quarter and 43-13 at the half.

Brittney Martin led Oklahoma State (12-3, 2-2) with 17 points and 13 rebounds. The Cowgirls shot 27.8 percent (15 for 54) from the field.

Texas took a game-high lead of 40 at 67-27 on Boyette's free throw with 7:37 remaining

The Longhorns jumped out to a fast start, building a 13-2 advantage, while limiting the Cowgirls to just 1-of-10 shooting, including seven straight misses.

Texas had a 14-0 run in a 4:21 span bridging the end of the first quarter into the second, going ahead 34-7 on Brady Sanders' free throw with 6:32 left in the second.

Up to that point in the game, Oklahoma State was shooting 3 for- 15 from the floor. It didn't get much better the rest of the quarter, as Oklahoma State ended the first half 4 of 25 (16 percent) after missing eight consecutive shots.
