Looks like we are 3-1. Wins in 99, 09, 10. Lost in 15
Highlights:
1999. The Glendon Alexander game. Much like this year it was a must win for us.
2009: Can't find any video. Really wish I could watch a full replay of this game.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- As James Anderson prepared to shoot what he said were the biggest free throws of his career, teammate Byron Eatoncame up to him to try easing the tension.
"He told me I was Big Game James and that I don't miss free throws," Anderson said. "It was kind of funny."
Anderson and the Cowboys were able to laugh after he made both free throws with 2.3 seconds to lift Oklahoma State to a 71-70 upset of Oklahoma (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) on Thursday night in a Big 12 Conference tournament quarterfinal.
Eaton had 16 points and seven assists for Oklahoma State (22-10), which snapped a five-game losing streak against Oklahoma (27-5) and all but clinched an NCAA tournament berth. The Cowboys will play Missouri (No. 15 ESPN/USA Today, No. 14 AP) in the semifinals.
Blake Griffin had 17 points and 19 rebounds for Oklahoma, but was whistled for fouling Anderson as they tussled for a rebound after a missed shot by Eaton in the final seconds.
After Anderson's free throws, Griffin caught a long pass from Taylor Griffin, but missed a well-guarded 3-point attempt and Tony Crockermissed a follow shot. The clock didn't start until after Blake Griffin's shot, and officials used television replays to determine that time had expired.
The loss probably cost Oklahoma a chance at a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
While Oklahoma and Oklahoma State regularly meet at neutral sites within the state in other sports, most notably baseball, it's a rare occurrence in basketball. Thursday's game was only the third time in 215 meetings the Bedlam rivals had met in Oklahoma City, and the first time since 1942.
The teams hadn't met in the postseason since 1999, when they played in the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo. The evenly split crowd at the Ford Center watched as the lead traded hands four times in the final 2:48.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Keiton Page scored 19 of his 24 points in a dominating first half, and Oklahoma State withstood a brief rally in the season's third Bedlam game to beat Oklahoma 81-67 on Wednesday night in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament.
Oklahoma State (22-9) raced to an 18-point lead in the first six minutes, then allowed Oklahoma to creep back in it with a shaky start to the second half. Obi Muonelo kept the Sooners from completing the comeback, scoring 10 of his 15 points after the rally to send the seventh-seeded Cowboys into Thursday's quarterfinals against ninth-ranked Kansas State, the No. 2 seed.
Oklahoma (13-18), seeded 10th, played without leading scorer Willie Warren (ankle) and will miss the postseason a year after reaching the NCAA regional finals.
