STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Jeffrey Carroll had a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds in a 83-81 overtime win on Saturday.
With 8 seconds left in regulation, OSU was down 73-70. Kendall Smith hit a game-tying three to send the game to overtime.
The Cowboys went on to post their first win over a Top 10 team for first-year coach Mike Boynton.
Oklahoma State led by two points with 7.4 seconds remaining. Young struggled to get the ball up the court and was forced into a poor shot.
The Cowboys played a flawless first 10 minutes and bolted out to a 25-6 lead. The Sooners slowed the surge with an 8-0 run, but Oklahoma State held strong. Smith's 3-pointer as time expired in the first half gave the Cowboys a 42-30 lead. The Cowboys held Oklahoma to 30 percent shooting before the break.
OSU held Trae Young, a freshman guard who leads the nation in scoring, to 14 points after halftime. He matched the fifth-highest scoring effort in Sooners' history after also missing a 3-point try at the end of regulation. He shot 14 for 39 -- he was 8 for 20 on 3-pointers.
Yankuba Sima continues to protect the basket for OSU. He now has back-to-back games with three blocks and also had six points and five rebounds.
Tavarius Shine filled up the stat sheet with 16 points, four assist, three steals and two blocks.
BIG PICTURE
Oklahoma State: The Cowboys have had several close calls against good opponents this season and finally got their breakthrough. It's exactly the kind of boost they needed to strengthen their NCAA Tournament resume.

Helluva game. Make me wonder about Trae Young though, if he came to UK and put up 39 shots in 1 game, how would that go over with Cal and the rest of our roster? He shot some plain outrageous 3's in the second half of this one.
