OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Keiton Page scored 18 points and Jean-Paul Olukemi added 16, but New Mexico's Kendall Williams scored 16 points and New Mexico posted its fifth win this season over a team from a BCS conference, beating Oklahoma State 66-56 in the All-College Classic on Saturday night.
Drew Gordon added 13 points and 20 rebounds for New Mexico (8-2), which won its sixth-straight game by seizing control with a 12-0 first-half run, then weathering a second-half rally by Oklahoma State (6-4).
The Lobos also have recorded wins this season over Boston College, Washington State, Arizona State and USC. New Mexico is now 3-1 all-time against Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma State is 8-3 in the All-College Classic since the nation's oldest college basketball event moved to a classic format.
Le'Bryan Nash and Philip Jurick both recorded double-figure rebounds, but the Cowboys also committed 15 turnovers in the loss.
OSU will travel to Birmingham, Ala., next Wednesday for a neutral-site matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
