Top 25: Cowboys ride past Longhorns in triple OT

Mario Boggan set career highs with 37 points and 20 rebounds and hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds left in the third overtime to lift No. 12 Oklahoma State to a 105-103 victory over No. 21 Texas on Tuesday night in Stillwater, Okla.

Kevin Durant, the Big 12’s leading scorer and rebounder, put Texas (13-4, 3-1 Big 12) on top with a three-point play with 10.5 seconds left, but there was still time for Boggan.

He took the ensuing inbounds pass near midcourt and fought through defenders to launch a 3 from the left wing. He fell to the floor and was joined by celebrating teammates after Texas’ A.J. Abrams was called for traveling with 0.2 seconds left to clinch the win for the Cowboys (16-2, 2-1).

Boggans entered the game 5 for 33 from 3-point range this season.

Durant, a freshman, tied his career best with 37 points for the Longhorns.

Gray had 22 points and 19 rebounds. Ramon went 4 for 4 from 3-point range while adding 17 points as the Panthers. They are the only team still unbeaten in conference play.
