Oklahoma State vs. Missouri - 2001 Basketball

Nine days after a tragic plane crash took the lives of ten members of the Oklahoma State family, basketball returned to Gallagher-Iba Arena as the Oklahoma State Cowboys hosted the Missouri Tigers.
When the game was over and his Oklahoma State basketball team had beaten Missouri, coach Eddie Sutton couldn't help himself. He cried.
"This game was one of the most important games I've ever coached in," said Sutton, who has coached 935 games in 31 years. "It would have been devastating not to win.
"It's a very, very important win for Oklahoma State University. It's important because it continues this healing process that all of us are going through."
Spurred throughout by a boisterous crowd, the Cowboys used a second-half run to take the lead and held on at the end. Fredrik Jonzen tied a career best with 26 points, Maurice Baker had 22 and Andre Williams had 15 rebounds and four blocks.
