Lubbock, Texas ? Jarrius Jackson said he got the ball, found a little opening and just took the shot.

His clutch three-pointer with 2.4 seconds left Saturday tied the game at 79 and sent Texas Tech to overtime with Oklahoma State. The Red Raiders eventually won, 92-90.

“Luckily, it fell for me,” said Jackson, who finished with 26 points.

Cowboys head coach designate Sean Sutton said Jamaal Brown was told to foul Jackson so a three-pointer couldn’t tie it. Brown tried, “but probably didn’t make it obvious enough” for the officials.

“It’s a tough way to lose a basketball game,” Sutton said. “When you have a three-point lead, and there’s under two seconds to go, you foul.”

Texas Tech has struggled this season, but the Red Raiders displayed grit Saturday.

“It shows that we can play in a tight game, instead of getting buried,” Tech head coach designate Pat Knight said. “But we still need to be able to win on the road.”

Texas Tech's Martin Zeno dunks against Oklahoma State. The Red Raiders beat the Cowboys, 92-90 in overtime, Saturday in Lubbock, Texas.

Tech, which snapped a two-game loss streak, never trailed in the overtime, with John Plefka getting six of Tech’s 13 points.

Tech (11-9 overall, 3-3 Big 12 Conference) had five players in double figures. Martin Zeno scored 20, and Dior Lowhorn got 10 and led Tech with seven rebounds.

Mario Boggan scored 22 points and had 10 rebounds for Oklahoma State (12-8, 2-4).

Cowboy head coach Eddie Sutton and Tech coach Bob Knight played their 2,306th combined game Saturday. The victory gave Knight his 865th career win, leaving him 15 shy of topping Dean Smith’s 879 all-time victory mark.

“I’m so happy for Jamel and for the team,” said Jason Dourisseau, who gave White a hug after the game. “He knew he was going to get some opportunities and he made the most of them.”
