MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Short-handed and far from home, Oklahoma State did something it hadn't done since Eddie Sutton played for the Cowboys.
James Anderson scored 30 points and Obi Muonelo hit two key 3-pointers in the final minutes Saturday, lifting underdog Oklahoma State to a 73-69 victory over No. 10 Kansas State. It had been just six days since the crestfallen Wildcats (16-3, 3-2 Big 12) beat No. 1 Texas on the same floor.
It had been 52 years since Oklahoma State (15-4, 3-2) beat a top 10 team on the road. Sutton, the former Oklahoma State coach, was a forward when the Cowboys beat No. 2 Kansas 52-50 in 1958.
Kansas State sliced a six-point deficit to one on Curtis Kelly's two free throws with 26.9 seconds to go. But the Wildcats fouled on each of their next two possessions. Nick Sidorakis iced the victory with a pair of free throws with 5 seconds to go in a rough-and-tumble game that included three technical fouls and 36 turnovers.
Anderson, the Big 12's leading scorer, missed only one of 11 free throws and was 9 for 18 from the floor while tying his season high.
Denis Clemente had 19 points for Kansas State and Curtis Kelly had 13.
