Marshall Moses came up with a big score every time Oklahoma State needed it as the Cowboys outlasted LaSalle, 92-87, in double overtime in an exciting non-conference matchup at the Palestra in Philadelphia.
Moses finished with 30 points for Oklahoma State and helped force overtime with a jumper with 11 seconds left in regulation to tie the game, 67-67.
He hit two free throws with 26 seconds to play in the first overtime, but LaSalle’s Aaric Murray returned the favor and made a jumper 18 seconds later to knot it at 79-79 and force a second OT.
The Cowboys (7-1) scored the first five points in the second overtime on a bucket by Nick Sidorakis and a 3-pointer by Keiton Page, but LaSalle hung around.
The Explorers (5-3) cut the deficit to two before Moses hit a jumper with 14 seconds to go to extend the lead to 91-87.
Murray and Jerrell Williams each scored 23 points for LaSalle, which is 0-3 against the Big 12 this season and undefeated against everyone else. The Explorers have lost close games to No. Baylor 10 and No. 8 Missouri and now to Oklahoma State.
