OSU's win gives seniors Jeffrey Carroll and Mitchell Solomon a victory in every current Big 12 venue. The last OSU players to earn a victory in every conference venue was in 1954. It ends a six game losing streak in Hilton Coliseum.
The Cowboys earn the two-game season sweep of Iowa State for the first time since 1995. The Cowboys also accomplished that feat in 1994, 1987, 1981, 1975, 1965, 1963 and 1928. They pick up their seventh Big 12 victory of the year. It would mark the 18th time in 22 years of the Big 12 that OSU has won at least seven conference games.
The Cowboys opened the second half on a 14-3 run to take a 62-46 lead with 13:29 to go. It would be the Cowboys' biggest lead of the game.
The Cowboys' 48 first-half points was the most they have scored in the first half of Big 12 play this season.

Over a 4:24 mark in the first half, the Cowboys went on a 17-3 run to take a 33-21 lead.
