The fourth-seeded Oklahoma State Cowboys will welcome the second-seeded North Texas Mean Green to Stillwater on Tuesday night, with a coveted spot in next week’s semifinals in Indianapolis hanging in the balance.
Oklahoma State punched its ticket to this stage with a thrilling 85-83 upset over top-seeded SMU on Sunday in Dallas. The game’s decisive moment came in the final second when Brandon Newman swiped an inbounds pass from Tibet Gorener to seal the victory. Prior to that, senior forward Abou Ousmane delivered the game-winning bucket—a clutch turnaround jumper with just 33 seconds left.
North Texas (26-8) also advanced in dramatic fashion, eking out a 65-63 win over Arkansas State in Denton. Jasper Floyd played the hero, sinking a turnaround jumper with two seconds remaining to cap off an impressive all-around performance.
