STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - No. 23 Oklahoma State, after a slow start Wednesday night, went on a 33-4 first-half run that allowed the Cowboys to coast to a 75-47 victory over Baylor.
Desmond Mason scored 18 points and Adrian Peterson had 16 for the Cowboys (13-4, 5-1 Big 12). Baylor (6-13, 0-6) shot just 32 percent and committed 18 turnovers in losing its sixth straight, all in conference play.
Oklahoma State missed 11 straight shots as Baylor took a 9-6 lead, but a tip-in by Fredrik Jonzen got the Cowboys going and started a 6-0 spurt.
A follow shot by Baylor's Jamie Kendrick made the score 12-11, then came 14 straight points by Oklahoma State, including back-to-back 3-pointers by Glendon Alexander and Doug Gottlieb.
After Kish Lewis made a jumper for Baylor, Oklahoma State scored 11 more in a row to make it 39-13.
Nine Cowboys scored during the big run, which lasted about 11 1/2 minutes. Baylor was 2-of-16 with 10 turnovers during that time.
Oklahoma State, which beat Baylor by 13 in Waco on Jan. 9, had a 41-18 lead at halftime and led by as many as 35 in the second half.
Junior center Alex Webber had the best conference game of his career, scoring 14 points.
Lewis had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Baylor, which scored its second-lowest total of the season. The Bears were held to 46 in a loss to Missouri-Kansas City.
