STILLWATER\u2014 No. 7 Houston rallied late for an 82\u201375 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.<\/p>\n

OSU built an early cushion, leading by as many as 13 points near the 6:00 mark of the first half.\u00a0Isaiah Coleman<\/a>\u00a0capped a 9\u20131 run with a pair of transition baskets to give the Cowboys a 32\u201319 advantage.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys carried a 41\u201337 lead into halftime, fueled by strong starts from\u00a0Anthony Roy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kanye Clary<\/a>, who combined for 20 first-half points on six made 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

Roy, one of four seniors honored in pregame ceremonies, led OSU with 18 points on 4-of-11 shooting. Fellow senior\u00a0Christian Coleman<\/a>\u00a0added seven rebounds, including four on the offensive glass.<\/p>\n

OSU controlled the boards, outrebounding Houston 36\u201333 and holding an 18\u20139 edge in second-chance points.<\/p>\n

Houston caught fire from deep after the break, hitting 8-of-15 threes in the second half. Back-to-back triples in the final 90 seconds stretched a one-point lead to seven and sealed the comeback.<\/p>\n

Chase McCarty\u00a0sparked the Cougars, knocking down 6-of-9 from beyond the arc on his way to a career-high 20 points.<\/p>\n

Freshman\u00a0Kingston Flemings\u00a0added 13 points and nine assists with just one turnover for Houston.<\/p>\n

Turnovers proved costly for OSU. Houston held a slight 11\u20139 edge in the category but converted those opportunities into a 21\u20136 advantage in points off turnovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STILLWATER\u2014 No. 7 Houston rallied late for an 82\u201375 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday in the regular-season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195079,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":{"0":"post-195078","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-houston","9":"tag-houston-headlines","10":"tag-houston-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
