Coming into Wednesday night, no Big 12 team was below .500, now Oklahoma State is the only one.
The Cowboys (10-11, 3-6 in conference) dropped a heartbreaker in Manhattan thanks to a dramatic finish. The Wildcats (11-10, 3-6) didn’t lead for most of the second half but went out winners thanks to a game-winning deep ball from their leading scorer.
The two squads came in as the only two in the conference at .500 and each riding three-game skids. Something had to give but it was a hard-fought battle both ways.
This was just the second Big 12 game in which three Cowboys scored in double digits and first since their 57-56 win against TCU on Jan.
