Back-to-back triples in the final 90 seconds stretched a one-point lead to seven and sealed the comeback.&#13;<br \/>\n\tChase McCarty sparked the Cougars, knocking down 6-of-9 from beyond the arc on his way to a career-high 20 points.&#13;<br \/>\n\tFreshman Kingston Flemings added 13 points and nine assists with just one turnover for Houston.&#13;<br \/>\n\tTurnovers 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.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\nSeries Info:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tThis was the only scheduled meeting between the teams in 2025-26.&#13;<br \/>\n\tHouston&#8217;s win ties the all-time series at 13-13.&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe Cougars have won their last three visits to Stillwater under Kelvin Sampson. They were 0-8 prior to his arrival.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\nTeam Notes:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tOSU lost at home for just the fifth time this season (14-5).&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe Cowboys are 884-273 over 88 seasons in Gallagher-Iba Arena.&#13;<br \/>\n\tOSU&#8217;s Big 12 Tournament seed will be decided later this afternoon when Baylor hosts Utah (4 p.m. CT).&#13;<br \/>\n\tIf Baylor defeats Utah, OSU will drop to the No. 14 seed (8:30 p.m. CT Tuesday vs. the No. 11 seed).&#13;<br \/>\n\tIf Baylor loses to Utah, OSU will be the No. 13 seed (11:30 a.m. Tuesday vs. the No. 12 seed).&#13;<br \/>\n\tAll first-round Big 12 Tournament action airs on ESPN+.&#13;<br \/>\n\tColorado is currently in line for the No. 11 seed and Arizona State No. 12, however if ASU wins at Iowa State (1 p.m. Saturday) and CU falls to Arizona (10 p.m.), their seeds will flip.&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe Cowboys dropped just their second game when out-rebounding their opponent (14-2).&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe Cowboys also lost for just the second time this season when tied or leading at halftime. They were 15-2 coming in (30-4 under Lutz).&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe Cowboys shot 89.5% (17-19) from the line, a new high in Big 12 play this season.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\nIndividual
