01/17/2007 - Stillwater, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mario Boggan did a freshman one better in a conference thriller, draining a contested three-pointer with 3.2 seconds left to end 55 minutes of Big 12 basketball in 12th-ranked Oklahoma State's 105-103 victory over No. 21 Texas from Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The final three-plus seconds included a walk and an in-bound formality, capping a game featuring clutch shooting, massive momentum swings and Cowboys head coach Sean Sutton almost fainting at the end of regulation.
If he only knew 15 more minutes were in store.
Kevin Durant, who tied a career-high with 37 points, collected an air ball and scored off the glass while being fouled with 10.5 ticks remaining in the third overtime. He drained the foul shot to push Texas in front, 103-102.
The Cowboys eventually got the ball to Boggan at the top of the left wing with two Longhorns surrounding him. He shook the first defender then double- clutched his shot to avoid the outstretched arms of the second player.
Just 5-of-33 from beyond the arc entering the game, Boggan's three trumped Durant's conventional three-point possession, handing the Longhorns (13-4, 3-1 Big 12) their first conference loss.
Boggan's shot capped a 37-point, 20-rebound performance, continuing his stellar senior season. He entered the contest averaging a team-leading 21 points and 7.1 rebounds per game and shooting just over 60 percent from the floor.
JamesOn Curry totaled 28 points, nine rebounds and four assists, while Terrel Harris scored 16 points and Byron Eaton added 11 points for the Cowboys (16-2, 2-1), who improved to 11-0 on Eddie Sutton court.
D.J. Augustin contributed 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and Justin Mason totaled 18 points for Texas. Damion James collected 10 points and 11 rebounds, while Durant added 12 boards in the loss.
Augustin's three-pointer with 21 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime -- the first of three extra sessions.
The guard made the pivotal shot again in the waning stages of the first overtime, converting a layup to square the contest at 83-83 with 13 seconds on the clock.
David Monds' heave from the right corner didn't draw iron, and an offensive putback occurred about one second after the horn.
The Cowboys seized a 91-88 edge in the second overtime on Boggan's mid-range jumper, but Durant -- who made 4-of-12 threes on the contest -- connected from near the top of the circle to tie the game.
Tyler Hatch -- a walk-on surrounded on the floor by a group of high school All-Americans -- attempted to stamp a feel-good story on the contest by making a reverse layup to put the Cowboys up 93-91 with 43 seconds left.
It was for naught, as Durant answered with a dunk to tie the game again, eventually forcing the third extra session.
Curry started it with a three-pointer then Harris buried two free throws to open a 98-93 advantage.
However, as proven much earlier in the night, no lead was safe.
Durant made 1-of-2 free throws then Mason drilled a contested three from the right wing to draw the Longhorns within one.
After a Boggan jumper, Connor Atchley raced down a loose ball and connected from long distance to make the score 100-100 with 1:55 on the clock.
Curry then made a pair of free throws before the frantic finish.
The Cowboys led 38-36 at the half.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
