Quion Williams Records Double-Double in 75-72 Win Over Kansas State

STILLWATER – With senior Bryce Thompson out due to injury, Oklahoma State rallied behind five double-digit scoring efforts to defeat Kansas State, 75-72, on Saturday.

The Cowboys (10-12, 2-7 Big 12) have won two of their last three games and sent Kansas State (14-8, 4-5) to its fourth-straight loss. The Wildcats' last win came on Jan. 20 when they beat Oklahoma State at home, 70-66.

Javon Small led the way with 18 points for the Cowboys, while Quion Williams recorded his third double-double of the season with a career-best 17 points and 10 rebounds. Williams' energy permeated in the first half, generating all 10 of his rebounds in the frame, including six on the offensive end.

Reserve Jamyron Keller received a bolstered role on Saturday, scoring 12 points and Brandon Garrison and John-Michael Wright each scored 10 for the Oklahoma State.

Tylor Perry scored 19 points for Kansas State, Cam Carter scored 17, Alex Kaluma 14 and backup Will McNair Jr. 12.

Keller made 1 of 2 foul shots with 12.2 seconds left to provide the Cowboys with the game's final margin. Carter missed a 3-point attempt, and after recovering the long rebound, Perry gathered it in, drove to his left and put up a desperation 3 attempt that went right of the rim never touching the iron.

Oklahoma State never trailed in the second half.

After trailing for most of the first half, the Cowboys found a 12-0 spark to enter halftime ahead, 29-27.

Next up, the Cowboys head on the road to face No. 4 Houston on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Play will be televised on ESPN2.
