STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Maurice Baker scored
22 points and Oklahoma State used a late rally to beat
Texas A&M 76-64 Wednesday night.
Oklahoma State (13-3, 4-1 Big 12)
outscored the Aggies 14-4 in the final
three minutes of the game after the two
teams had stayed within five points
through the first part of the second half.
A&M (6-12,0-6) took advantage of
cold shooting by OSU and some key 3-
pointers by sophomore guard Bernard
King and junior guard Andy Leather-
man to keep the game close until the
end, when OSU made key free throws down the stretch
to seal the win.
It was the fifth straight win for OSU and the sixth
straight loss for the Aggies.
Baker hit 4-of-7 3-pointers and grabbed 10 rebounds.

Oklahoma State outrebounded the Aggies 46-32, led by
12 from Fredrick Jonzen.
The teams played even through the first seven min
utes of the game, but OSU went on a 10-0 run to take a
23-13 lead on a 3-pointer by Victor Williams with 10:35
left in the half.
Then the Cowboys got sloppy. Up 27-18, the Cow
boys committed three turnovers and two fouls, and the
Aggies cut the lead to 27-23 on a jumper by Carlton
Brown with 5:47 left in the half.
The Aggies hung in through the rest of the half and
were ready to head to the locker room down just 37-36,
but Andre Williams tipped in an inbounds pass at the
buzzer to give OSU a 39-36 halftime advantage.
King led the Aggies with 19 points. Leatherman
scored 15 and Brown had 14.
Victor Williams had 14 points for the Cowboys.

Houston Rockets, met with team
owner Les Alexander prior to
Wednesday night’s game against the

Alexander said. “We both want the
