Stillwater, Okla. • Marcus Smart scored 28 points, Le’Bryan Nash added a season-high 26 and No. 17 Oklahoma State beat Oklahoma 84-79 in overtime Saturday for its third straight down-to-the-wire win at home.
Smart fed Nash for a right-handed slam with 53 seconds left in overtime to put the Cowboys (19-5, 9-3 Big 12) up 80-79, and Oklahoma couldn’t come up with an answer. Markel Brown’s steal led to a fastbreak layup by Michael Cobbins, and Smart blocked Steven Pledger’s attempt at a tying 3-pointer that gave Oklahoma State the ball back with 18 seconds to go.
