The overtime meeting in Lubbock saw Cunningham hit a trio of free throws with 27 seconds left to tie the game and send it to OT. Cunningham fouled out shortly into the overtime period, but the Pokes’ energy guys provided a pair of 5-0 runs to close things out. Anderson and Isaac Likekele finished with 17 apiece.
The Cowboys lead the all-time series 47-23. OSU started the series 8-0 before it was upset 49-48 in 1954 in a game played in Goodwell, Oklahoma.
