Kalib Boone scored all 12 of his points in the second half to lead Oklahoma State to a 64-55 win over Oklahoma on Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Cowboys (11-11, 4-6 Big 12), while the Sooners (13-10, 3-7) have lost three consecutive contests and seven of their last eight.
Oklahoma's Tanner Groves, who finished with 23 points, had been held scoreless in the second half until less than five minutes remaining. He scored six consecutive points to help the Sooners pull within six after the Cowboys had taken a double-digit lead for the first time.
But with just under two minutes remaining, Moussa Cisse took a feed from Isaac Likekele right under the basket and laid it in while being fouled by Groves. Cisse's free throw stretched the lead back to nine and stopped the Sooners' momentum, kicking off seven consecutive points by Oklahoma State to put the game away.
Cisse also finished with 12 points, Rondel Walker 11 and Keylan Boone added 10 for the Cowboys.
Kalib Boone got going during an 11-0 Oklahoma State run early in the second half. He later scored nine consecutive Cowboys' points to help keep the Sooners in control.
Groves and Elijah Harkless (15 points) provided most of Oklahoma's offense in the first half, combining to score 24 of the Sooners' 28 points before the break.
Harkless, making his first start since Jan. 22, hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first two minutes. Then Groves got going, scoring 10 consecutive Oklahoma points.
No one other than those two scored for the Sooners until C.J. Noland's layup with just less than nine minutes remaining in the half put Oklahoma ahead by seven.
From there, the Sooners missed eight of their last 10 shots before halftime.
The Cowboys missed seven of their last 10 before half, but took a one-point lead into the break thanks to a pair of late 3-pointers by Keylan Boone.
While Groves and Harkless were a combined 11 of 16 from the floor in the first half, the rest of the Sooners were just 1 of 11.
