Quick Summary:

No. 7 Houston rallied late for an 82–75 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.
OSU built an early cushion, leading by as many as 13 points near the 6:00 mark of the first half. Isaiah Coleman capped a 9–1 run with a pair of transition baskets to give the Cowboys a 32–19 advantage.
The Cowboys carried a 41–37 lead into halftime, fueled by strong starts from Anthony Roy and Kanye Clary, who combined for 20 first-half points on six made 3-pointers.
Roy, one of four seniors honored in pregame ceremonies, led OSU with 18 points on 4-of-11 shooting. Fellow senior Christian Coleman added seven rebounds, including four on the offensive glass.
OSU controlled the boards, outrebounding Houston 36–33 and holding an 18–9 edge in second-chance points.
Houston caught fire from deep after the break, hitting 8-of-15 threes in the second half. Back-to-back triples in the final 90 seconds stretched a one-point lead to seven and sealed the comeback.
Chase McCarty sparked the Cougars, knocking down 6-of-9 from beyond the arc on his way to a career-high 20 points.
Freshman Kingston Flemings added 13 points and nine assists with just one turnover for Houston.
Turnovers proved costly for OSU. Houston held a slight 11–9 edge in the category but converted those opportunities into a 21–6 advantage in points off turnovers.
