Utah’s seven-game win streak came to an unceremonious end Tuesday night when No. 24 Oklahoma State made the plays down the stretch to win 68-64 at the Huntsman Center.
While the Utes held a nine-point lead late in the third quarter, the Cowgirls’ defense made things tough for Utah in the fourth quarter and Oklahoma State benefited from a dominant game on the boards.
The Utes (20-6, 11-4 Big 12) had a chance to end the night in a tie for third place in the Big 12 standings, but with the loss, they are in a tie for fourth with Oklahoma State (21-5, 11-4 Big 12) and West Virginia (21-5, 11-4 Big 12).
“It was a kind of a weird up-and-down type of game for us, but credit to Oklahoma State. They were the tougher team tonight,” Utah coach Gavin Petersen said.
