STILLWATER - Oklahoma State is in Austin to battle No. 25 Texas at 7 p.m. Wednesday on the Longhorn Network. Notes and a head-to-head comparison entering the game:
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
► Be its third over an opponent ranked in the top 25 of the Associated Press poll this season. The Cowboys previously beat No. 10 Texas and No. 20 Baylor in Stillwater.
► Mark the Cowboys' fourth over a team with an RPI in the top 40 and their seventh over a team with an RPI in the top 100.
► Be the Cowboys' sixth in their last seven meetings with Texas, dating back to 2012.
► Give the Cowboys their second regular-season sweep over Texas in the last three seasons. OSU claimed both ends of the 2013 home-and-home series, claiming a 72-59 win in Austin and a 78-65 win in Stillwater that season.
► Mark the 18th time that OSU has beaten an opponent ranked in the top 25 of the Associated Press poll since Travis Ford took over as head coach in 2008-09.
► Mark the third straight season and the fourth in the last six under coach Travis Ford that OSU has beaten at least three teams ranked in the Associated Press top 25 in the same season.
► Be the third road win for OSU this year. The Cowboys earlier beat Memphis in Memphis and beat Missouri in Kansas City in a game that the NCAA considers a home game for Mizzou.
