Oklahoma State defeated No. 1 Baylor 61-54 in Waco on Saturday. It marks the first road win over the nation’s top-ranked team in school history, and the Cowboys did it with tenacious defense and a couple of heroic performances. Henry Iba and Eddie Sutton would have been proud.
The team with every reason to come in sneakers dragging, hit the maple running. In their third road game in five days, the Cowboys brought the energy and controlled the game almost wire-to-wire. OSU held the No. 5 offense in the country according to KenPom to 31 percent shooting and scored 18 points off of 11 Baylor turnovers.
