Keiton Page and J.P. Olukemi each scored 19 points to lead Oklahoma State to a 76-70 upset win over No. 14 Missouri Wednesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Cowboys, who ended a three-game losing streak, took a big lead and then withstood the Tigers' press to hold on for the victory. Page knocked down a couple of big free throws in the waning moments to give OSU the necessary cushion at the end.
In addition to Page and Olukemi, the Cowboys (15-7, 3-5 Big 12) also got a key performance from Darrell Williams, who scored 15 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help his team win the rebounding battle, 38-31.
The Cowboys also held a substantial edge in free-throw shooting, converting 29 of 43, compared to just 11 of 16 for the Tigers (17-5, 3-4).
Missouri, which is 0-4 in Big 12 road games, was led in scoring by Marcus Denmon and Matt Pressey, who scored 15 points each.
