STILLWATER, Okla., Jan. 14 (UPI) -- John Lucas scored 22 points and Tony Allen added 20 Wednesday night as Oklahoma State never trailed in crushing No. 13 Oklahoma, 77-56.
Oklahoma (10-2, 0-1 Big 12) had its perfect start ruined Sunday with an 86-59 loss at Connecticut. If the Sooners found the trip to Gampel Pavilion difficult, they encountered more trouble in their annual visit to Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Back-to-back baskets by Joey Graham' gave Oklahoma State (11-2, 1-1) a 12-2 edge nearly four minutes into the game. Another 12-2 run that was capped by twin brother Stephen Graham's layup made it 31-13 with 6:47 to go before halftime.
The Sooners climbed within 35-26 at the break before the Cowboys came out of the locker room with another huge charge. Lucas' jumper capped a 14-3 surge for a 49-29 cushion with 13:13 to go.
