KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Joey Graham scored 25 points, four on free throws in the final 41.4 seconds, to help No. 10 Oklahoma State beat No. 9 Kansas 78-75 on Saturday in the Big 12 semifinals.

The Cowboys, who shot 57 percent in the second half to Kansas’ 64 percent, set up a showdown in Sunday’s title game between two coaches with 1,630 wins between them.

It’ll be Oklahoma State’s Eddie Sutton, with 778 wins, vs. Texas Tech’s Bob Knight, who has won 852 games in his Hall of Fame career. The Red Raiders beat top-seeded Oklahoma 69-63 in the other semifinal.

Graham, who set a Big 12 record this season by hitting 39 foul shots in a row, sank two to give the Cowboys a three-point lead with 10 seconds left. Then Alex Galindo missed a long 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Wayne Simien, the Big 12 player of the year, had 30 points for the Jayhawks (23-6), who beat Oklahoma State 81-79 two weeks earlier in a Big 12 classic that saw the two teams combine to shoot 62 percent.

This time, the Cowboys (23-6) missed 12 of their first 14 shots but then got hot and took the lead for good when Daniel Bobik stole the ball on Kansas’ end of the court and drove in for a layup that made it 60-59.

JamesOn Curry had 12 points for the Cowboys and John Lucas, Bobik and Ivan McFarlin each had 11.

Graham, fouled deliberately with 41.4 seconds left, hit both foul shots for a 75-70 lead and then Simien, the Big 12 player of the year, answered with his soft, feathery hook shot and shaved the lead back to three.

Lucas, fouled with 22.8 seconds to go, hit one of two and the Cowboys led 76-72 until J.R. Giddens sank the Jayhawks’ fifth straight 3-pointer.

With 11.8 seconds to go and a one-point lead, the Cowboys inbounded the ball to Graham, who was fouled immediately.

The Jayhawks, who played for the second straight day without injured guard Keith Langford, their second-leading scorer, shot 55 percent to 49 percent for Oklahoma State. But the Cowboys held a commanding 32-27 rebounding edge. Michael Lee, starting in place of Langford, had 14 points and Giddens had 11.

Lucas, who hit his first nine shots at Kansas two weeks ago, was only 2-for-6 in the first half but his driving layup with 1:42 to go helped the Cowboys grab a 30-29 halftime lead.
