Mario Boggan kept expecting to get tired. He never did. Oklahoma State's star forward scored a career-high 30 points and had a crucial putback in the final minute to help lift No. 15 Cowboys to a 95-89 double-overtime victory over seventh-ranked Pittsburgh on Thursday night. ``I thought I was going to be dead to the world but as it kept going I just kept wanting to play. I just got more energy and my adrenaline was just rushing more,'' Boggan said. Boggan had enough left in his tank to get to the line for the go-ahead free throws with 1:42 left and then to grab Byron Eaton's miss and put it back with his right hand for a three-point lead. ``This is great.

I thought I was going to be dead tired, but as it kept going I kept on feeling like I had more energy.'' Mike Cook hit two free throws with 25.3 seconds left to pull Pitt (10-2) within a point, but the Panthers were forced to foul with the shot clock off.

Eaton hit both his free throws and JamesOn Curry added two more for a five-point lead, and the Cowboys exchanged high-fives before huddling with 16.7 seconds remaining. Ronald Ramon's jumper in the lane was off-target, and Fields discarded his headband as Curry stepped to the foul line to hit two more shots. Boggan finished 9-for-19 with nine rebounds, but had to leave after injuring his left hand on his foul of Cook. ``I was surprised by all of them, but really surprised by him that he never wore down,'' Cowboys coach Sean Sutton said. ``He just kept saying, `Get me the ball.
