====== Oklahoma State 57- Marquette 54 ======
===== Recap =====
Oklahoma State 57, Marquette 54: \\
Oklahoma State raised its record to 2-0 by holding off a hard charge by Marquette (2-1).

The Cowboys won despite missing several layups and free throws, and committing a couple of turnovers in the final four minutes.

"It was a slugfest defensively on both ends," Sutton said. "It shouldn't be for us because we're a veteran club."

A basket by Peterson with 2:28 left put Oklahoma State up for good. He finished with 23 points, including five 3-pointers.

Marquette still had a couple of opportunities to pull it out, but [[Mike Bargen]], who finished with 18 points, missed a free throw that would have tied the game with 25 seconds left. Teammate [[Jarrod Lovette]] grabbed the rebound and was fouled, but missed the front end of a 1-and-1.

"This was a game we could have won," Marquette coach [[Mike Deane]] said. "We just couldn't take care of the basketball down the stretch."
