EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Liz Shimek scored 24 points and No. 11 Michigan State overcame a sluggish start to beat Houston 76-53 on Saturday night.
Shimek, the Big Ten's leading scorer, was 11-for-14 from the field and had eight rebounds and five assists as the Spartans (7-2) won their fifth straight game.
Victoria Lucas-Perry scored 14 points, Rene Haynes had 13 and Lindsay Bowen added 11 for Michigan State, which will travel to No. 15 Oklahoma and No. 3 LSU the next two Wednesdays.
Tye Jackson, a transfer from Purdue, had 26 points on 7-for-27 shooting in her first game with the Cougars (2-5). Freshman Sha'Ratta Hawkins, the No. 3 scorer in Conference USA, had 12 points for Houston.
The Spartans trailed 22-21 when Shimek scored three times and fed Lucas-Perry for a 3-pointer to spark a 24-6 surge that ended the first half. The lead grew to 26 points with 7:35 left.
Michigan State had a 56-39 rebounding edge but committed 26 turnovers. The Cougars shot 25 percent from the field and missed 27 3-pointers.
