Oklahoma State: Phil Forte had his first scoreless game of the season, finishing 0 for 4 from the field in 24 minutes. He also fouled out with 1:39 remaining. "He just had a tough game today," Cowboys coach Travis Ford said. "You always need your best player to play well, but that's not going to happen every game."
Texas Tech: With Saturday's win, the Red Raiders likely need to win the Big 12 tournament to avoid finishing the season below .500. Red Raiders coach Tubby Smith has finished with a losing record just once in his 24-season career: last season, when the Red Raiders finished 14-18.
