STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Marshall Moses had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Markel Brown added 10 points and a career-high five blocks and Oklahoma State dented Baylor’s NCAA tournament hopes by beating the Bears 71-60 on Tuesday night.

The Cowboys (18-11, 6-9 Big 12) charged ahead in the second half, then held off a late run by Baylor to send Moses, Matt Pilgrim and Nick Sidorakis out as winners in their final regular-season game at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Quincy Acy led the Bears (18-11, 7-8) with 13 points and nine rebounds. Big 12 scoring leader LaceDarius Dunn was held to a season-low seven points on 2-for-16 shooting and missed out on a chance to claim the conference’s career scoring record.

Brown blocked three of Dunn’s shots in the second half, including one that would have put the Bears ahead in the final 8 minutes.
