Markel Brown scored 18 points, Le'Bryan Nash added 16 and the 15th-ranked Cowboys corralled Myck Kabongo to beat Texas 78-65.

A showcase of two of the Big 12's marquee point guards ended up being a sloppy one, with Kabongo committing a career-high seven turnovers while the Cowboys' Marcus Smart had five.

Oklahoma State (22-6, 12-4 Big 12) took advantage of two of Kabongo's turnovers to score the final eight points of the first half and start an 18-2 run that carried beyond halftime. By the time it was over, the Cowboys were firmly in front at 47-33 after Nash drove through traffic for a right-handed slam.

Texas (13-16, 5-11) never got within 10 points after that.

In the first 16 minutes, Smart didn't score and committed all five of his turnovers. He played a clean game after that, ending up with 11 points, four steals and three assists.

The Cowboys sent two defenders at Kabongo at every chance, forcing him into mistakes or simply getting the ball out of the hands of Texas' top scorer. The Longhorns had won three of five after Kabongo returned from a 23-game NCAA suspension, and he had a career-best 31 points in the win against Oklahoma in his last game.

Kabongo ended up with a season-low seven points and eight assists, missing five of his seven shots.

Phil Forte grabbed a press-breaking outlet pass and hit an open 3-pointer from the left wing, and Brown converted a three-point play on the Cowboys' next possession after getting a high-arcing runner to go over the corner of the backboard and fall in. His ensuing free throw stretched the lead to 65-46 with 7:31 remaining.

Forte ended up with 14 points as Oklahoma State swept the regular-season series against Texas for the first time since 2004.
