LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Maurice Baker scored 18 points and Victor Williams added 16 Saturday as Oklahoma State rallied from a 22-point deficit to down Arkansas, 85-76.

Baker led the team in scoring for the second straight game as the Cowboys (12-0) won for the 32nd time in the last 39 meetings with the Razorbacks (6-4).

The Cowboys took their first lead, 75-74, with 2:19 left as Williams made two free throws to cap a 19-9 burst over seven minutes.

Williams also scored the final six points as Oklahoma State closed the game with a 12-2 run over the final 2 1/2 minutes.

Jannero Pargo scored 21 points for Arkansas, which lost for the 13th time in as many neutral-site contests with Oklahoma State.

The Razorbacks' pressure defense proved effective in the opening 20 minutes, forcing 19 turnovers. Off a steal by T.J. Cleveland, Brandon Dean nailed a jumper with 8:44 to go in the half as Arkansas sprinted to a 32-10 lead.
