STILLWATER, OKLA.- (AP) Keiton Page made a key 3-pointer just before the halftime buzzer and then scored the rest of his 23 points in the second half to lead Oklahoma State past Stanford 79-68 Tuesday night for its seventh straight win.
After putting the Cowboys ahead just before halftime, Page hit two more 3s early in the second half as Oklahoma State outscored the Cardinal 20-7 to take control of the game.
Stanford (6-4) cut a 14-point deficit down to six in the final two minutes, but Page hit another 3-pointer and the Cowboys (11-1) were able to close it out from the free-throw line.
Josh Owens tallied his second double-double of the year, matching his career-highs in points (21) and rebounds (10) to lead the Cardinal. Jeremy Green scored 17 and Aaron Bright added a career-high 12 points off the bench.
Ray Penn added 14 points, Marshall Moses scored 13 and Jean-Paul Olukemi had 12 for Oklahoma State.
Olukemi had seven points, including a 3-pointer, as Oklahoma State pulled away in the first 10 minutes of the second half. His basket on a Stanford goaltend made it 54-40 with 10:06 to play.
Owens had a pair of two-handed dunks and seven points during a 13-6 comeback by the Cardinal, with Green's transition jumper cutting the deficit to 60-53 with 4:56 remaining. Stanford got within 67-61 when Owens scored the final four points in a 6-0 push by the Cardinal, but Oklahoma State was able to protect its lead down the stretch.
Penn and Green exchanged free throws, then Page hit another big 3 - pumping twice to create an opening before knocking it down to make it 72-63 with 58 seconds left.
