Oklahoma State is 16-7 overall this season and 4-5 in Big 12 Conference action following the Cowboys' 81-75 win over bedlam-rival Oklahoma last Saturday afternoon. OSU is currently in a four-way tie for fifth place in the Big 12 standings, just one and a half games out of third place.
The Cowboys are led by senior forward Marshall Moses who is averaging 14.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. He recorded his seventh double-double of the season last week against Texas. Junior guard Keiton Page is chipping in 14.1 points per contest, including a 21 ppg average over the last three games. Sophomore wing Jéan-Paul Olukemi is averaging 12.2 points per game, including 19 points in each of the games last week.
