-- Marcus Smart scored 20 of his 21 points in the second half to help Oklahoma
State defeat No. 5 Kansas 72-65 on Saturday night and give a major boost to the
Cowboys once-fading NCAA tournament hopes. Oklahoma State (19-10, 7-9 Big 12)
overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half. The Cowboys improved to 3-0
since Smart returned from a three-game suspension for shoving a Texas Tech fan.
Andrew Wiggins scored 15 points for Kansas (22-7, 13-3), which already had
clinched the Big 12 title outright before tipoff because Texas and Iowa State
lost earlier. The student section was filled nearly an hour before the opening
tip. The crowd included Oklahoma City Thunder players Kevin Durant and Russell
Westbrook and their coach, Scott Brooks. Wiggins three-point play tied the game
at 64 with just over 2 minutes to play. Kamari Murphys layup gave Oklahoma State
a 66-64 lead with 1:37 remaining. Kansas Naadir Tharpe missed a jumper, and
Murphy pulled in the rebound. Smart made a layup with 46.1 seconds left to push
Oklahoma States lead to four, then he broke the press and hit another layup with
23.8 seconds to go to put the game out of reach. The Jayhawks led 26-25 at
halftime despite 35 per cent shooting. Oklahoma State shot just 24 per cent in
the first half but forced 11 turnovers. LeBryan Nash and Markel Brown scored
nine points each to keep the Cowboys in the game. Smart had one point on 0-for-7
shooting. Wiggins scored five points in the half but committed two fouls. Brown
hit a 3-pointer in the opening seconds of the second half to give Oklahoma State
a 28-26 lead, but Kansas answered with a 3-pointer by Wayne Selden. Smart made
his first field goal, a 3-pointer, with 17:46 to play. He drew the third foul on
Joel Embiid with 14:19 to go and the Jayhawks up 38-36. Wiggins picked up his
third foul 11 seconds later. Kansas responded with a run. With both freshman
stars on the bench, Tharpe and Selden drained 3-pointers that put the Jayhawks
up 46-38. A three-point play by Perry Ellis pushed Kansas lead to nine, and a
pair of free throws by Wiggins extended the margin to 10 for the first time.
Oklahoma State muscled its way back into the game with a three-point play by
Nash and a long lob by Smart to Brown that cut Kansas lead to five and got the
crowd back into the game. The Cowboys moved into the double bonus with 5:50
remaining, and Brown made two free throws to give Oklahoma State a 60-59 lead.
Nash picked up his fourth foul with 4:35 remaining, but Smart calmed him down
after Nash disagreed with the call. Wiggins picked up his fourth foul with 4:09
to play. Smarts 3-pointer with 3:44 left put Oklahoma State up 63-61.

Jets rookie safety Calvin Pryor sat out practice while he recovers from a
concussion, although coach Rex Ryan says the first-round pick is "making
strides. HOUSTON -- Tyler Skaggss Angels debut could not have gone much better.
The left-hander threw eight strong innings and Josh Hamilton hit a two-run home
run as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 5-1 on Saturday night.
Skaggs (1-0) allowed one run - none earned - on four hits with five strikeouts.
Skaggs was acquired in the off-season from Arizona in a trade that sent
outfielder Mark Trumbo to the Diamondbacks. "I was excited for my first game
with the Angels," Skaggs said. "I have pitched in the big leagues before. I took
that mindset that I have been here before. The team needs to get in the win
column again. A lot of different things to stay relaxed out there." Skaggs
became one of just 13 pitchers in Angels history to go at least eight innings
while allowing no earned runs in first start for the team and the first since
Shawn Broskie on May 1, 1995, at Toronto. Skaggs, who posted a 2-3 record with
5.12 ERA with the Diamondbacks last year, said he threw a two-seam fastball
Saturday night - a pitch he had not thrown in spring training. "The thing is
that I havent thrown the two-seamer at all, and today, I broke it out," Skaggs
said. "I threw it 90 per cent of the time. Thats why you saw all those 90-91
instead of 93-94. They kept swinging at it, so why not continue to throw it and
get outs early in the count?" Skaggs said the changeup and curveball were also
good and everything was clicking. Angels manager Mike Scioscia said all of
Skaggs pitches were working but it started with his ability to command the
fastball. "He had a great two-seamer going and once he was able to get that into
spots everything else opened up for him." Scioscia said. "He threw some terrific
change-ups, some really good curveballs. Theyve got some right-handed hitters
that are really strong hitters and youve got to make some pitches to them. He
did and got through it well." Hamilton followed David Freeses run-scoring single
with his second homer in as many days, extending the lead to 4-1 in the fifth
off Dallas Keuchel. Hamilton had three hits and is noow hitting .

the Astros with 16 home runs and 41 RBI. "I dont think its necessarily the
team," Hamilton said. "I love playing at this park. Before it was a rivalry
thing - Texas and Houston. Maybe that helped a little bit. I cant pinpoint one
thing." Keuchel (0-1) allowed four runs on eight hits with five strikeouts over
five innings. "If youre not on your A-game every pitch, thats what happens,"
Keuchel said. "I think that kind of took the wind out of our sails in the
fifth." Kole Calhoun extended the lead to 5-1 on a run-scoring single in the
eighth off Chad Qualls. Houston, which dropped its third straight, opened a 1-0
lead as Jose Altuve scored on an error by third baseman John McDonald in the
first, but that lead quickly vanished as Howie Kendrick knotted the score at one
with a run-scoring double in the second. Houston manager Bo Porter said the
Astros need to get things going offensively after being outscored 16-2 in the
first two games of the series. "He really had his breaking ball going, but at
the same time, I think we helped him a little bit by expanding our strike zone,"
Porter said of Skaggs. "He took advantage of it. Offensively, definitely need to
get things going and score some runs." Notes: Houston outfielder Dexter Fowler
missed his second straight game Saturday after spending Friday night at
Methodist Hospital due to a stomach virus. He was released from the hospital
Saturday night and could play Sunday, Porter said postgame. . Astros catcher
Jason Castro was out of the lineup for the second consecutive game Saturday with
a bruised right foot. . Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt signed one-day contracts
before the game and officially retired as Astros. . The Astros outrighted
right-handed pitcher Chia-Jen Lo off the 40-man roster. He cleared waivers
Saturday and will remain with Triple A Oklahoma City. . Houston will send
right-handed pitcher Scott Feldman (0-1) to the mound Sunday as the Angels will
counter with right-hander Jered Weaver (0-1).
