FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) _ Oklahoma State says it will block a planned broadcast of Saturday's basketball game between the Cowboys and Arkansas at Tulsa, Okla., if the game is not a sellout.

Oklahoma State associate athletic director Dave Martin said Wednesday that his university had not yet given the Arkansas Razorback Sports Network permission to show the game. About 3,000 tickets remained for the 10,780-seat arena at Oral Roberts University, OSU ticket manager Tom Johnson said Wednesday.

Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles said OSU officials should reconsider.

``Showing the game here in Arkansas is not going to affect how they sell their tickets over there, and not to let our fans see the game I think would be a travesty,'' Broyles said.

ARSN is owned by Little Rock television station KATV.
