(9) Texas - 72
Oklahoma St - 60
in Stillwater, OK
Before his team played No. 9 Texas, Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford knew only a few things about Jordan Hamilton.The freshman swingman had played only two minutes in the Longhorns' loss at Baylor two days earlier -- a game that went into overtime. Now, Ford knows so much more.
Hamilton scored a career-high 27 points and Texas finally slowed down James Anderson in the second half to beat Oklahoma State 72-60 on Monday night.

Wednesday, February 3
Baylor - 84
Iowa St - 63
in Waco, TX
LaceDarius Dunn hit four 3-pointers, scooped in an underhand shot while being fouled in the lane, drove the baseline for a reverse layup and started a series of late-game dunks for No. 20 Baylor.Yet, Dunn's most impressive play in the Bears' 84-63 victory against Iowa State on Wednesday night might have been none of the above.
With Baylor (17-4, 4-3 Big 12) still trying to gain control early in the second half, Dunn began a wild sequence after Tweety Carter missed a 3-pointer and the ball bounced to the other end of the court. Dunn outran several Cyclones to save it from going out of bounds, a long offensive rebound that set up a botched alley-oop that still resulted in a dunk for Baylor.
