Law scored 19 points and Sloan added a career-high 15 as the No. 8 Aggies handed Oklahoma State its most lopsided home defeat in nearly 30 years in a 66-46 blowout Wednesday night.

“They totally took us out of everything we wanted to do offensively. We just kind of had to go a different direction,” Aggies coach Billy Gillispie said. “We’re not usually that good off the dribble.”

Law and Sloan got to the rim with ease, combining to hit 14-of-25 shots and score more than half of A&M’s points. The two combined to score 24 points in the paint, and A&M outscored Oklahoma State 42-16 inside.

“Coach always tells me I’m a driver,” said Sloan, a freshman who got more playing time after starter Dominique Kirk went out with back spasms. “So when a lane or an opportunity is there, why not?”

The Aggies (23-4, 11-2 Big 12) made their first win in Gallagher-Iba Arena a memorable one. They had the largest margin of victory for a visitor since Texas won 108-87 in Stillwater on Dec. 12, 1977, embarrassing the Cowboys on a night when former head coach Eddie Sutton was honored at halftime.

“The margin of victory means absolutely nothing. You either win or you lose,” Gillispie said. “To win means a lot because you’re playing against a really good team, an NCAA tournament team.”

The win meant more to Law, who missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer in a 79-77 loss last season in Stillwater – his third straight loss in the arena.

“We’ve been able to do a lot of things for the first time that this program hasn’t been able to do,” Law said. “It’s good to come here into an atmosphere like this, one of the best places to play in America, and get a victory.”

Josh Carter added 10 points and Antanas Kavaliauskas had 13 rebounds for A&M, which cemented its best conference start since going 11-2 in the Southwest Conference to start the 1979-80 season.

Oklahoma State’s Mario Boggan and JamesOn Curry, who combined to average 38.7 points entering the game, each had season lows in scoring. Curry had eight points on 3-for-11 shooting, and Boggan went 3-for-13 to finish with seven points and 10 rebounds.

Kenny Cooper scored 10 to lead the Cowboys (19-8, 5-7), who shot 30 percent.

“They just kept getting to the rim,” Cowboys coach Sean Sutton said. “Our perimeter defenders have got to do a better job of containing the ball.”

Iowa State 55, Colorado 53

Ames, Iowa – Richard Roby missed a long, off-balance shot at the buzzer as Iowa State escaped Colorado.

The Cyclones had sticky defense on the play, Corey McIntosh and Rahshon Clark doubling up on Roby, whose last-second three was off balance. ISU’s players say they now have momentum heading into Saturday’s 5 p.m. battle at Kansas University.

“We’re going in there hungry,” ISU’s Mike Taylor told the Des Moines Register after the Cyclones rallied from a 15-point first-half deficit. “We feel like we gave one away on our home court.”

Kansas defeated the Cyclones 68-64 in overtime on Jan. 13 in Ames.

On Wednesday, McIntosh gave Iowa State some unexpected scoring with 13 points and Jiri Hubalek hit the go-ahead basket with 1:43 left.

Iowa State held Colorado scoreless in the final 2:08 to hand the Buffaloes their fourth straight loss. Colorado (6-17, 2-11) missed three shots after Hubalek’s turnaround on the low block gave Iowa State a 55-53 lead. The Buffaloes then got one more chance when Hubalek missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 10 seconds left.

But McIntosh and Rahshon Clark trapped Richard Roby well behind the three-point arc and Roby lost the ball going up for a shot.

Baylor 63, Nebraska 59

Waco, Texas – Baylor coach Scott Drew finally saw his team close out a game down the stretch.

“We’ve been known to get a lead and start relaxing on the defensive end,” Drew said. “It’s a situation where you have to do it, and we were able to close it out.”

Baylor led, 57-46, with 2:44 left to play, but the Cornhuskers narrowed the gap to two points at 61-59 on a layup from Charles Richardson, Jr. with four seconds remaining.

Nebraska fouled Henry Dugat before the inbounds pass, and the sophomore guard sank both free throws to clinch the win.

Charles Richardson, Jr., led Nebraska’s offense with 16 points, while Ryan Anderson scored 14 and Aleks Maric 11.
