(Stillwater-AP) -- The Cowboys are getting a taste of the Big Apple so they won't get big heads about the N-C-A-A Sweet Sixteen.

Andre Williams and Jason Keep are the only Oklahoma State basketball players returning to Stillwater after the Cowboys beat Pepperdine 75-to-67 to advance to Friday's regional semifinals.

Williams and Keep are going to class as the rest of the team hangs out in New York. The Cowboys will then be bussed to Syracuse for a Sweet Sixteen game against Seton Hall.

O-S-U guard Doug Gottlieb says it's a wise move to stay away from Stillwater frenzy. He says they may get big heads if they came back to campus and heard good things about them.

By staying in New York, Gottlieb says they can just focus on basketball.

The OSU - Seaton Hall game is scheduled to tip off at 8:55 PM Friday. The game will be televised locally on KOTV Channel 6.
