LUBBOCK, Texas -- Terrel Harris scored 19 of his career-high 27 points in the first half to lead Oklahoma State past Texas Tech 92-82 on Wednesday night.

The Cowboys led by as many as 25 midway through the second half before Tech battled back. The Red Raiders used a 22-6 run, including a dozen points by Mike Singletary, to whittle their
deficit to 74-68 with 3:12 remaining.

Byron Eaton hit two free throws and a field goal to push the lead back to 78-70 with 2:21 left and Tech couldn't pull closer down the stretch.

James Anderson added 24 points for the Cowboys.

Harris hit on 9-of-13 from the field for the Cowboys (16-9, 5-6 Big 12) and made four 3-pointers off six attempts. The Cowboys made 12 of 25 attempts from 3-point range.

Singletary scored a season-high 24 points to lead Tech (12-15, 2-9), which has now lost seven of its last eight games.
