Oklahoma State took control in the second half, extending an eight-point lead to 51-33 as the Red Raiders went nearly 7 1/2 minutes without scoring. Newberry finished the 10-0 run by soaring to dunk an alley-oop pass from Hickey and his 3-pointer extended the advantage to 54-34 with a little more than eight minutes left.
