Drew Gordon had a season-high 20 rebounds and 13 points to lead New Mexico to a 66-56 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday in Oklahoma City.

It was the second straight double-double for Gordon, who had 13 points and 13 rebounds in the Lobos’ win at USC last weekend.

Kendall Williams added 16 points and six rebounds for New Mexico (8-2), which won its sixth straight game since an overtime loss to Santa Clara on Nov. 24.

Keiton Page had 18 points and Jean-Paul Olukemi added 16 off the bench for Oklahoma State (6-4), which fell to 0-4 in neutral-site games this season. The Cowboys are 5-0 at home and 1-0 on the road.

New Mexico led 36-26 at halftime and by double digits for much of the game, but Oklahoma State took its first lead of the second half on Olukemi’s 3-pointer with 7:28 remaining that made it 53-52. The Lobos responded with a 9-2 run over the next three minutes, capped by Hugh Greenwood’s 3-pointer from the top of the key that gave New Mexico a 61-55 edge.

Greenwood, who finished with 12 points, scored seven unanswered points during the spurt.

Le’Bryan Nash, who entered the game as Oklahoma State’s leading scorer, struggled with New Mexico’s length defensively and had only six points on 2-of-15 shooting.

This was the second game of a doubleheader as part of the Ramada All-College Classic. Oklahoma beat Houston 79-74 in the first game.
