    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Big Nasty:</div><div class="quote_post">AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The last time a visiting team won in Austin, Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton got a ride off the court from his players after notching his 700th career victory.

    Nearly two years later, Sutton got career win No. 738 after Joey Graham had 21 points and 10 rebounds Saturday to lead the 24th-ranked Cowboys past No. 16 Texas 72-67.

    The victory snapped Texas' 25-game winning streak at the Frank Erwin Center, where the Longhorns hadn't lost since Feb. 20, 2002.

    Sutton walked off the court this time without a milestone but with a key Big 12 road win in hand.

    "I thought Texas was playing as well as anybody in the league at this point," Sutton said. "It was a very big win for us."

    Graham did it all for the Cowboys (14-2, 4-1), who outrebounded Texas 38-30 and converted 16 of 22 free throws to help maintain a lead late in the second half. Graham had three rim-rattling dunks while shooting 8-of-12 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free throw line.</div>

    I feel like Texas is the most overrated team in the country and doesn't deserve to be ranked at all. They've played an easy schedule and have three losses already.
