SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- Mitchell Solomon scored on a tip-in with 6 seconds left and then took a game-clinching charge at the other end of the court, and Oklahoma State knocked No. 19 Florida State from the unbeaten ranks Saturday, winning 71-70 in the Orange Bowl Classic.

Solomon finished the game with his first career Double-Double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. He also had three blocks.

Florida State went ahead with 10 seconds to go, but Oklahoma State needed only four seconds to go the length of the court to score for the 14th and final lead change

Following a timeout, the Seminoles' CJ Walker drove into the lane but collided with Solomon and was called for the foul, sealing the Cowboys' win.

Senior Jeffrey Carroll made his first start of the season for the Cowboys and scored 23 points to surpass 1,000 for his career. Solomon had 12 points and 11 rebounds. He is now the 41st player in OSU history to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Carroll was also named the game's MVP by the Orange Bowl Classic Media.

Yankuba Sima made his highly anticipated Cowboy debut on Saturday. He finished with five points and three rebounds.
