Oklahoma State’s gritty performance was on life support.
Lindy Waters III dribbled in the center court well behind the 3-point line waiting for the Cowboys’ play to develop with less than 3 minutes remaining. Yor Anei was the target, but he couldn't get open.
The shot clock was nearing zero. Waters had to make something happen.
He fired a long 3 and when it found nothing but net, the Cowboys’ demeanor suddenly changed.
They’re 18-point lead was gone, but they rallied when Houston tied the game 90 seconds before.
“I had to make it,” Waters said on the radio about the shot that put OSU ahead four with 2:28 remaining.
