Oklahoma State showed some grit, battling back from a double-digit lead inside a hostile United Supermarkets Arena, but No. 19 Texas Tech was just too much to handle for 40 minutes. The Cowboys fell on the road 78-57. The Red Raiders won’t be No. 19 next week.
The Red Raiders (13-3, 3-1 in Big 12 play) came in off consecutive wins over No. 6 Kansas at home and then No. 1 Baylor in Waco. They brought that excitement from the tip. The Cowboys (8-7, 1-3) took some body blows from Big 12’s top team and were able to battle back.
