  "textContent": "Astonishment struck Jaylen Curry by the time he’d reached the corner of the 3-point arc.\n\nThe Oklahoma State junior point guard said he anticipated a court storm. The deafening roar of the home crowd echoing throughout Gallagher-Iba Arena. The “overrated” chants directed toward the opposing team. The finality of OSU’s 99-92 win against No. 16 BYU on Wednesday.\n\nAll of it, Curry said, hinted toward a court storm.\n\nAs the final seconds of the game clock winded down, Curry turned around to embrace his teammates. Before his head was turned, OSU fans had already begun snaking around him.\n\n> #OkState fans are storming the court. pic.twitter.com/CFNZeHY6SP\n>\n> — Daniel Allen (@bydanielallen25) February 5, 2026\n\n“I turned around and (the fans) were right there,” Curry said. “I didn’t know what was going on.”\n\nIt signified a noteworthy win. One that clinched OSU its first Quad 1 victory of the season, and one that illustrated a memorable sight for OSU fans alike as thousands of bodies swarmed mid-court.\n\n“This was my first one,” OSU shooting guard Anthony Roy said. “I hope it’s not the last.”\n\nAnd it came off the back of Roy himself.\n\nThat hasn’t been a scarce occurrence for the Cowboys (16-6, 4-5 Big 12). Roy has dazzled throughout the season, swiftly cementing himself as one of college basketball’s premier shooters and OSU’s leading scorer.\n\nOn Wednesday, however, he elevated that status. The 3-point makes ballooned as the game progressed, en route to a season-high 30-point outing.\n\nIn turn, others contributed immensely. Curry finished with 18. Shooting guard Vyctorious Miller (14), center Parsa Fallah (13) and forward Christian Coleman (10) also logged double-digit totals.\n\nAdvertisement\n\n****Building something?

Twice, the Cowboys led by 15 behind a suffocating defensive effort that forced 16 turnovers.\n\n## SERIOUS FANS SUBSCRIBE\n\n__This is where Stillwater's most engaged sports fans get their news.

He totaled 12 of BYU’s final 19 points to tie the game at 41 at halftime.\n\nDybansta emulated the product he’s perceived to be — a top-three selection in the upcoming NBA Draft. His 36-point, seven-rebound performance kept BYU within striking distance, and eventually, clinched its first lead of the game with 18:21 remaining in the second half.\n\nStill, Lutz said he ordered his players to adhere to his game plan. No ad-libbing or playing rogue. Only sticking to what was outlined before the game.\n\n“I feel like this game is just a game of runs, and we’ve seen that throughout our season,” Roy said. “So, I feel like everybody just stayed calm and we knew what we had to do to win. And when it just came down to it, we did what we had to do to win.”\n\n* * *\n\n** _A message from Visit Stillwater_**\n\n**Love is in the air** this February!

Whether it be a double-contested, step-back make from beyond the arc or a swish from the half-court logo, Roy delivered.\n\nPerhaps Curry’s chronicle of Roy’s skillset was most fitting.\n\n“You ever watch the 2017 (Golden State) Warriors with KD, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry? That’s how I feel (we are) when he hits all these 3s.”\n\nThe headline of the night was OSU earning a vital, resume-bolstering win for the NCAA Tournament. The court storm was merely a postgame delicacy.\n\nWhen BYU surged, panic within the roster was at a minimum. No hero ball or selfish playstyle as has been the case in such scenarios earlier this season.\n\nThe road ahead doesn’t get any easier. Especially come Saturday, when the Cowboys clash with No. 1 Arizona at the McKale Center on Saturday at 3 p.m.\n\nBut such traits, Lutz said, is the makeup of a postseason-caliber team. If the Cowboys can prolong those traits, perhaps an NCAA Tournament bid isn’t so far-fetched after all.\n\n“We’ve talked a lot about our egos vs the mission,” Lutz said. “Our mission is for us to continue to win Quad 1 games in the best league in America, and put ourselves in a position to get to the NCAA Tournament. And they did that tonight because the mission was more important than their egos.”\n\n* * *\n\nHelp Power the Next Story. Toss a Little Love in our Tip Jar 💛",
