LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Keiton Page scored 20 of his 22 points over an eight-minute span, but the Cowboys could not keep the Red Raiders off the free throw line as Oklahoma State fell to Texas Tech 81-74 here in Big 12 basketball action on Saturday.
John Roberson, who was held scoreless in the first meeting in Stillwater, scored a season-high 28 points while Mike Singletary added 22.
The win halted a two-game skid for the Red Raiders (15-7, 3-5 Big 12) and extended the Cowboys' losing streak to three.
The Red Raiders started the second half with a 13-4 run to go up 48-30 with about 15 minutes remaining. They had no turnovers in the first 10 minutes.
The Cowboys used an 18-7 run to pull within 63-57, and cut the deficit to 65-61 on two free throws by Ray Penn with 3:38 left but could get no closer.
Texas Tech held James Anderson, the nation's seventh-leading scorer (22.8 average), to 10 points, matching his season low. He fouled out with 5:02 left. Anderson had 28 points in the Cowboys' win over the Red Raiders in January.
Matt Pilgrim grabbed 12 rebounds as OSU outboarded the Raiders, 42-33.
Oklahoma State (16-7, 4-5) will take a week off before hosting the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday, Feb. 13, at 1 p.m. inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
