No. 14 Kansas State played a back-and-forth game with Oklahoma State in Stillwater Saturday before steadying the offense and pulling away late to win 73-68.
It was the first road win for the Wildcats (22-7, 10-6 Big 12) since beating Texas and Baylor back-to-back in the first week of January. For the Cowboys (16-13, 7-9) it was the fourth straight loss, after they had forged a 5-game winning streak that included victories over then-No. 15 TCU at home and then-No. 11 Iowa State on the road.
The game was competitive throughout, with K-State forging a 29-24 lead with under five minutes to play in the first half, only to see Oklahoma State make an 11-0 run to take a 6-point advantage with 1:33 to go.
