STILLWATER, Okla. -- Coming off a big 71-70 win over then-No. 19 Florida State on Saturday, Oklahoma State didn't respond well to all the accolades they received.
Tuesday night, they started slowly, falling behind by as many as eight points in the first half, but Kendall Smith scored 13 of his 16 points in the second half to help the Cowboys rally for a 71-59 victory over Tulsa.
Three days after scoring 23 points and being named the Orange Bowl Classic MVP, Jeffrey Carroll recorded his first double-double of the season, with 14 points and 11 rebounds, for Oklahoma State (9-2).
