"It was a great game, a great, hard-fought game by two teams who were really fighting for a win," said Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford. "You could tell both teams really had a great desire to win the game. They made a great run at us in the second half."

"We came out the second half and we fought, had a chance to win the game, but just couldn't pull it off," Taylor said, who missed the front end of a one- and-one with 3.2 seconds left in regulation and the score tied at 56.

Texas trailed by 15 points late in the first half and didn't catch Oklahoma State until Taylor's jumper knotted the score with 43 seconds left.
