Five Notes from the Week
► The Cowboys moved to 13-6 overall and 3-4 in Big 12 play with their win over Texas Tech and their loss at Kansas State.
► The Cowboys are 9-1 overall and 3-0 in conference play at home this season.
► Phil Forte passed John Lucas and Richard Dumas on the Oklahoma State career scoring list during OSU's game at Kansas State. He enters this week's action ranked 32nd all-time at OSU with 1,120 career points and needs 16 points to pass Mario Boggan and Chianti Roberts and crack into the top 30.
► Including his efforts against the Red Raiders and the Wildcats, Le'Bryan Nash now has 1,619 career points, a mark that ranks him 20th among all active players in the NCAA. That total is good for ninth on OSU's career list. Nash needs 37 points to pass a pair of his former teammates, Keiton Page (1,651 points from 2008-12) and Markel Brown (1,655 points from 2010-14) and move to seventh on the OSU list.
► Oklahoma State extended its winning streak against Texas Tech in Stillwater to 12 games. The Red Raiders haven't beaten OSU in Gallagher-Iba Arena since 2003.
