AMES, Iowa -- Texas needed 10 minutes of torrid shooting -- and the best game of Ariel Atkins' life -- to notch yet another win on the road.
Atkins notched career highs with 22 points and 11 rebounds, and sixth-ranked Texas beat Iowa State 65-49 on Saturday to improve to 9-0 on the road.
Empress Davenport added 13 for the Longhorns (21-1, 10-1 Big 12). They won in Ames for the first time since 2009 by outrebounding Iowa State 52-33 and shooting 62 percent in the third quarter.
Texas used a 21-9 run midway through the second half to push past the Cyclones (12-10, 4-7), who've lost six of seven.
