Recap | Box Score | Notes

Head Coach Scott Drew
"I want to start with the positive side. In the second half, I was really proud of our team's effort and of outscoring OSU. I want to thank the crowd for coming out and staying and cheering us on. We need to play a nearly perfect game and have leading teams have a less than perfect game to win."

"Richard (Hurd), Mark (Shepard) and Roscoe's (Biggers) energy was super and that is something our team needs the whole time."

Aaron Bruce
"It is disappointing to have moments when we stand still and let them make a run. In the Big 12, being such a great conference, you can't afford to do that. Credit our guys for having so much heart. We outscored them (in the second half), you have to give them credit for that."

Tim Bush
"They were really good on defense in the first half. Every time I tried to penetrate, someone was up. They took away all the things we tried to go to in the first half but we did better in the second half."

OKLAHOMA STATE POSTGAME QUOTES:

Sean Sutton, Oklahoma State Head Coach Designate
"We played well for the first 30 minutes but had a total meltdown in the last 30 minutes. This had been a recurring theme with this team."

On the play of Aaron Bruce:
"Bruce is a very good player but to give him 33 points is our mental errors."

Ivan McFarland
"This game is not about 30 minutes it is about playing the whole game. The way we win reflects on how we play the next game."

Stephen Graham
"I'm happy we got the win but we can't discredit Baylor. They played a great game."
