Oklahoma State Post-Game Notes
Final Score: Oklahoma 64, Oklahoma State 56
► Le'Bryan Nash went to the bench at the 15:41 mark of the first half after picking up his second foul. The Cowboys held a 9-2 lead at that point. Oklahoma immediately went on a 5-0 run. The Cowboys settled down and eventually went on a 10-1 run to open up a 22-10 lead. The Pokes took a 32-25 lead into the locker room at halftime and knocked down 11-of-23 shots from the field during the opening stanza (.478 pct.) The second half was controlled by the Sooners, who limited the Cowboys to only 24 points after intermission.
► The Cowboys led by 12 at 29-17 in the first half, but Oklahoma went on a 23-9 run to take a 40-38 lead with 14:41 left in the game. The Cowboys suffered through a four-minute, 11-second scoring drought during one stretch of the second half and were off target until a late 6-0 run brought the score to 58-54 in favor of the Sooners with 1:52 remaining.
► Le'Bryan Nash played only four minutes in the first half due to foul trouble and Michael Cobbins played only 10 minutes in the second half before fouling out.
► Oklahoma State turned the ball over 16 times - the most turnovers they've had in a Big 12 game this season.
► Phil Forte finished with four steals - his ninth game with three or more steals this year. Forte entered the game as the Big 12 leader with 2.25 steals per game.
► Anthony Hickey was productive, scoring 10 points, grabbing eight rebounds and making three steals. It marked Hickey's 10th double-digit scoring day of the season and the ninth time this year that the 5-foot-11 inch point guard has grabbed at least five rebounds in a game.
► Le'Bryan Nash entered the game with 1,632 career points. He added 12 to that total and now has 1,644 points as a Cowboy. He needs just six points to pass Keiton Page for eighth on OSU's all-time list.

► Phil Forte entered the game having made 28 consecutive free throws, dating back to OSU's win over Texas on Jan. 10.

Forte drained 43 straight free throws during one stretch from Feb. 13-Nov. 28, 2013, which tied Joe Smith (1967) for the longest consecutive free throws made streak in school history.
► Le'Bryan Nash has scored in double figures in 20 consecutive games (all of his games this season).

TEEMCO BEDLAM SERIES
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma compete yearly in the TEEMCO Bedlam Series, an all-sports competition between the two schools, which are separated by only 80 miles along Interstate 35. The TEEMCO Bedlam Series champion is decided by wins and losses in head to head competition. In sports where there is no head to head matchup, the Big 12 Championship final standings are used. Oklahoma State won last year's TEEMCO Bedlam Series, 17-14. The Pokes lead this year's TEEMCO Bedlam Series, 5-4, with wins in football, soccer, men's cross country, women's cross country and wrestling. The Sooners have two men's basketball wins, plus victories in soccer and women's basketball.
