SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Elias Harris scored a season-high 22 points as Gonzaga beat Oklahoma State 73-52 on Friday night, giving coach Mark Few the 300th victory of his 12-year coaching career.
Robert Sacre had 16 points and a career-high 15 rebounds for Gonzaga (9-5), which has won five in a row since an early December slump knocked it from the Top 25. Gonzaga is 4-0 against Oklahoma State.
Marshall Moses led Oklahoma State (11-2) with 17 points. The Cowboys saw their seven-game winning streak broken in what was only their second game on an opponent's home court this season.
Jean-Paul Olukemi added 11 points for the Cowboys. Keiton Page, who came in averaging nearly 16 points per game, was held to two.
Gonzaga's inside tandem of Harris and Sacre dominated, giving the Bulldogs a 44-32 rebounding edge and a 32-22 lead in inside scoring. Sacre had his third double-double of the season.
Gonzaga's leading scorer, Steven Gray, who has been slowed by a back injury the last three games, had 10 points and six assists in his best game since scoring 18 against Notre Dame.
The Cowboys took an early 17-11 lead behind eight points by Moses, as Gonzaga made just three of its first 16 shots. Then the Zags got hot, making 9 of 12 during a 24-7 run that gave them a 35-24 lead they never relinquished. Harris had 10 points for Gonzaga during the run.
David Stockton's half-court buzzer-beater gave Gonzaga a 40-26 lead at halftime. Harris had 16 in the first half, while Sacre had nine points and nine rebounds. Moses had 12 points for the Cowboys in the first half.
Demetri Goodson's 3-pointer gave Gonzaga a 54-36 lead midway through the second half.
The lead held up as Oklahoma State shot just 36 percent, compared to 45 for Gonzaga. The Cowboys made only 5 of 14 free throws.
Few has a career record of 300-78 in 12 years, all at Gonzaga.
Gonzaga is 82-5 in the McCarthey Athletic Center since it opened in 2004.
