STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — David Loubeau scored 22 points, B.J. Holmes hit two key free throws in the final seconds and No. 21 Texas A&M continued its recent dominance against Oklahoma State with a 67-66 victory on Saturday night.
Texas A&M (21-5, 8-4 Big 12) maintained its hold on third place in the conference standings and extended its winning streak to four games. The Aggies have won three straight against Oklahoma State (16-10, 4-8) and four of the last five in the series.
The loss put a damper on Oklahoma State’s already tenuous NCAA tournament hopes, and it won’t get easier soon for the Cowboys, who visit No. 1 Kansas on Monday.
Reger Dowell scored a career-high 22 points for Oklahoma State and put the Cowboys up 66-65 with two free throws with 17 seconds left. But he fouled Holmes in the backcourt with 15.9 seconds left and Holmes hit both free throws.
