STILLWATER -- Phil Forte, III, and Jeffrey Carroll each scored 18 points to lead Oklahoma State to a convincing 84-71 victory over Texas on Saturday.

Five OSU players scored double digits in the win against the Longhorns.

Davon Dillard posted a career-high 15 points and eight rebounds. His night also included another highlight-reel dunk early in the second half. It marks his third double-digit scoring game in the last six games. He has scored at least eight points in five of the last six outings.

After going scoreless in his last two games, senior Leyton Hammonds posted 11 points on 3-of-3 shooting from behind the arc.

Jawun Evans contributed 12 points, seven rebounds and six assists for Oklahoma State, which has won six of its last seven.

During a dominant stretch covering the last nine minutes of the first half and the first 2:32 of the second, Oklahoma State took over the contest, out-scoring the Longhorns 36-12 to take a 51-35 lead. The Cowboys maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Jarrett Allen had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Longhorns, while Andrew Jones scored 16.

After a furious comeback attempt, which included a 12-0 run in the final three minutes, fell short in a 72-69 loss to No. 6 Baylor on Wednesday, the Cowboys bounced back with another strong performance. Following a mid-season tweak in defensive tactics, Oklahoma State has gone 6-1 and has consistently looked like an elite team, and that was on full display again.

The victory moves the Cowboys to 16-9 on the year and 5-7 in Big 12 play. OSU jumps Texas Tech in the Big 12 standings and is now tied with Kansas State for sixth place.
