In a college basketball game, Cincinnati initially led but Oklahoma State took control with a 33-25 lead at halftime. The Cowboys maintained their lead, being up 50-48 at one point. Cincinnati fought back to lead 59-56 at one stage with Lukosius and James contributing significantly. However, Oklahoma State ultimately won 75-74 in a close game.
Washington State is in first place in the Pac-12 in what's become one of the best stories in the sport. That leads the weekend preview edition of the @EyeOnCBBPodcast. Norlander and Parrish are booting up now. Watch the show and chat along with others: https://t.co/f54JWW6wT2

Ehlo: Jaylen Wells’ 4-point play to beat #4 Arizona on the road and take first place in the Pac is one of the top shots in Coug history.
Cougs win. Beat a top-five team on the road and take the lead in the Pac-12. Fairly awesome. https://t.co/8CFi4CQ6Kj
Caleb Love slips on the drive and is called for the travel. Cougars ball. 4 seconds left. https://t.co/8ECP6C2gUJ

Love forces a shot, it's blocked and goes out of bounds. Arizona ball down one with 9.3 secs to play.
Caleb Love's scoop is blocked out of bounds. UA timeout and inbounding down 75-74 with 9.3 left.
Keshad Johnson fouls a three-point shooter and it goes in. Washington State to the line to go up one. He'll make it too. Wells is a monster.
Jaylen Wells makes the three and is fouled! Tie game in Tucson with 24.6 seconds to play. What a game.
Wow. Off a scramble, WSU's Jaylen Wells hits a corner 3 - and gets fouled. With Wells headed to the line, it's 74-74. 24.6 left.
Caleb Love drives, goes to the left hand and scores. Headed to the line after giving Arizona a 73-71 lead with 51.2 left.
Keshad Johnson gets away with a slight push-off. No call. Baseline jumper falls. Arizona 71, Washington State 71, 1:31 left.
Again, Washington State counterpunches. Cougars lead the Wildcats 67-63 with 4:42 left. WSU is mentally tough. No flinch, as a certain former UA football coach would say.
Arizona is in major trouble. Wells hits a three and the Wildcats are down 67-63 with 4:42 left.
Update: Arizona is now 15-24 from the FT line. And has the lead.
Caleb Love with a killer crossover into a 3. Then Oumar Ballo blocks a shot, sending Love off on the break. He drives and draws. Makes 1 of 2. WSU 57, Arizona 55, 8:22 to play.
Keshad Johnson with three fouls. He has really struggled tonight and Washington State knows it. Attacking him with Isaac Jones almost every time down court now.
Keshad Johnson has been EXTREMELY active this half. Just blocked a shot and was rewarded at the other end with another dunk. Johnson has six of his eight points this half. Arizona leads WSU 43-39 with 17:08 to go.
Arizona comes out strong in the second half and after not scoring in transition in the first half, has 6 points in 3 minutes. Wildcats lead 43-39.
Fast-break alley-oop slam for Keshad Johnson, who then runs the floor, gets a feed from Kylan Boswell, gets fouled and makes both FTs. Arizona 40, WSU 38, 17:57 left.
If Washington State didn’t have your attention — and your allegiance — now is the time to check out the Cougs. Up one at half at Arizona in a battle for first in the Pac-12. Got a note on Wazzu in the Minutes: https://t.co/5vhsDw6YHe
Caleb Love with a steal, going in for a solo dunk, peaks over his shoulder ... and loses the ball.
Caleb Love with a pretty bounce pass to Pelle Larsson for a dunk to trim Arizona's deficit to one point, 31-30. Love has 14 points, 3 assists, 5-5 from the FT line.
Caleb Love is starting to heat up. After knocking down a 3, he hangs and finesses in an and-1. Tie ballgame, 24-24, 6:31 left 1H.
Caleb Love's shot is off so far. And Oumar Ballo is having trouble keeping WSU's bigs off the offensive glass. Some of the reasons the Cougars are leading the Wildcats 24-18 with 7:55 left 1H.
Really impressed with WSU's poise so far. McKale is lively, Wildcats are motivated and the Cougars are right there (up 18-16).
Washington was up 25 at Arizona early in the second half. Sun Devils now up 2 with a minute to play in OT. Because college basketball.
The Mavericks' defense appears to still be in Cabo. Suns have made all five of their shots and lead 15-8.
DAILY COLLEGE BASKETBALL RANKINGS: Here is Thursday morning’s updated @CBSSports Top 25 And 1 — complete with some thoughts on Washington State at Arizona with first-place in the Pac-12 on the line. 1. Purdue 2. UConn 3. Houston 4. Arizona 5. Tennessee https://t.co/uqmpDNMARm
Cincinnati leads 59-56 at the under 8 stop. Lukosius with 12 and James 10. Josh Reed giving some big minutes in the 2nd half as well. #Bearcats
Cowboys up 50-48 at the under 12. Jizzle James to the line to complete the 3 point play when we return. #Bearcats
Ok St up 41-38 at the first media stop of the half. Day Day Thomas with a thunder slam to get the crowd rocking. He's up to 7 for the #Bearcats
Ok St up 33-25 at the final media stop of the half. #Bearcats tied it up at 25 and then give up a quick 8-0 run. Not great, Bob.
Oklahoma St cruising now with a 25-18 lead at the under 8 stop. #Bearcats are either throwing an off balance shot off the glass at 95 mph or turning it over for easy points. Not the best offensive execution strategy.
And a 12-5 swing the other way results in a 16-15 #Bearcats lead at the under 12 stop. Cincinnati up to 5 turnovers leading to 8 points. Lukosius with 7 points early.
Cincinnati sprints out to a 10-4 lead on Ok St. Skillings with 4 points, 3 boards and an assist in the opening segment. #Bearcats did have 3 turnovers resulting in all 4 points for the Cowboys.
