College Station, Texas ? Bernard King didn’t take the final shot as planned — but he did just about everything else Wednesday night.

King scored a season-high 29 points, and Bradley Jackson scored the go-ahead basket with two seconds to play to lead Texas A&M to a 73-71 win over No. 21 Missouri.

King made two free throws with 42 seconds left and went to the bench so excited that he got sick to his stomach. He still came back and stole the Tigers’ inbounds pass as time expired.

“This was a big game. I just wanted to leave it all on the floor,” King said.

The Aggies (12-8 overall, 4-5 Big 12 Conference) beat a ranked opponent for the first time since Jan. 23, 2001, when they defeated No. 24 Texas, 80-74.

Missouri’s Travon Bryant hit a three-point basket from the top of the key to tie the score at 71 with 23 seconds to play. Jackson then drove to the basket and lofted a short jumper over a crowd of Tigers to give the Aggies the win.

“The play was to get the ball in my hands,” King said. “Once I came out of the pick, three people came out on me. He (Jackson) made the right decision and went to the basket.”

Jackson also saw the play developing.

Missouri's Arthur Johnson (50) is guarded by Texas A&M's Jesse King, left, and Nolan Butterfras. Johnson scored a team-high 18 points, but the No. 21 Tigers were upended by the Aggies, 73-71, Wednesday in College Station, Texas.

“The play was supposed to be for Bernard, but at the last minute I saw everyone running his way, so I just went the other way,” Jackson said. “Bernard brought the whole other team to him. That’s why I went the other way.”

The Tigers (14-6, 5-4) had one more chance, but King stole an inbounds pass from Jimmy McKinney to end the game.

“He (King) played his guts out in more ways than one,” A&M coach Melvin Watkins said. “In big games, players have to step up and make plays, and he did that. I just know it’s a good win, and it keeps us in the running for some of the things we want to accomplish this year.

“It feels pretty good right now.”

Jackson finished with 10 points. Arthur Johnson led Missouri with 18 points; Rickey Paulding added 15.

“Obviously, we’re very disappointed in the result,” Missouri coach Quin Snyder said. “We started the second half horribly. It’s a frustrating game. We didn’t defend in the second half. We should be unbelievably mad at ourselves right now.

No. 13 Okla. State 77, Nebraska 70

Lincoln, Neb. — Victor Williams scored 11 of his 25 points during a key second-half run to lead Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma State (19-3, 8-1) trailed 30-25 at halftime, but took the lead at 34-32 when Melvin Sanders threw an inbounds pass off the back of a Nebraska player, retrieved the ball and made a layup.

Nebraska (9-13, 1-8) went back ahead at 50-47 on Brian Conklin’s three-pointer with nine minutes left. Oklahoma State then went on a 22-8 run, and Williams made consecutive baskets to give the Cowboys the lead for good with 8:09 left.

Texas Tech 88, Iowa State 73

Ames, Iowa — Andre Emmett scored 25 points on 11-for-12 shooting, and Will Chavis had eight of his 22 points in a decisive second-half run that carried Texas Tech.

Texas Tech (14-6, 4-5) dominated with solid offensive execution over the final 14 minutes and gave coach Bob Knight victory No. 801 on his second try. He is the fourth Division One men’s coach to win 800 games.

Jake Sullivan kept Iowa State (12-8, 2-7) in it for a while with his outside shooting and finished with 29 points, including a career-best seven three-pointers.

Knight improved to 6-0 against Iowa State in his first appearance at Hilton Coliseum since his Indiana team beat the Cyclones, 87-76, Dec. 21, 1990. The often fiery coach stayed in his chair most of the time and was far less animated than his counterpart, Iowa State’s Larry Eustachy.

Powell added 19 points and seven assists, while Chavis had six steals and six assists. Jackson Vroman scored 24 points for Iowa State.
