KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Brandy Perryman's 3-pointer with 28.9 seconds remaining lifted Texas past No. 25 Oklahoma State 65-64 Friday in the second round of the Big 12 tournament.
Cowboys center Brett Robisch missed a layup just before the buzzer as the underdog Longhorns (14-16) moved into the third round against either Missouri or Oklahoma. Texas is the tournament's 10th seed.
Kris Clack, who twice was hobbled by injuries in the closing minutes, stole the ball from Joe Adkins with just under 50 seconds to play. Clack, who appeared to reinjure a knee that caused him to miss time in January, then drove the lane for a score with about 48 seconds left to get Texas within 64-62.
Oklahoma State (21-6) failed to score on its next possession, and Perryman hit a long 3-pointer from the corner.
Texas played most of the second half without 7-foot center Chris Mihm, who picked up his third foul early in the half, sat out about seven minutes and then fouled out with 4:05 to play.
Clack, the Longhorns' leading scorer, first went down with 5:30 to play while battling for a rebound. He returned shortly after, but was hurt again while fouling Adrian Peterson on a breakaway. But he came back again seemingly determined to take over the game.
Clack had scored 28 points in Texas' first-round victory Thursday over Texas Tech, even though he missed practice all week after suffering a separated right shoulder in a scrimmage Sunday. Clack is a left-handed shooter.
He finished with 13 points and Mihm and DeJuan Vazquez each had 11.
Peterson finished with 24 and Adkins had 14 for Oklahoma State.
Texas went on a 13-3 run to lead 35-29 with 1:06 left in the first half, and finished the half with a 37-32 lead.
