PHOENIX (AP) — Parsa Fallah scored 25 points, Kanye Clary made a pair of critical plays in the closing seconds, and Oklahoma State beat Grand Canyon 84-78 on Saturday night at the Jerry Colangelo Classic.

Oklahoma State (9-0) has won nine in a row, its longest win streak since the Cowboys won 11 straight to open the 2006-07 season.

Clary hit a 3-pointer that made it 83-78 with 16 seconds to play and then stole the ball on the other end before Christian Coleman, who finished with 16 points, made a free throw to cap the scoring.

Fallah made 8 of 9 from the field and 9 of 10 from the free-throw line. Jaylen Curry and Anthony Roy scored 16 points apiece for the Cowboys.

Efe Demirel scored 22 points on 10-of-11 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds for Grand Canyon (5-4). Caleb Shaw made 8 of 14 from the field and finished with 19 points and Jaden Henley added 11 points.

Makaih Williams was called for an offensive foul that, after replay review, was upgraded to a Flagrant 1 with 5:40 left. Curry made 1 of 2 from the free-throw line and Clary was called for traveling on Oklahoma State’s ensuing possession. Demirel threw down a dunk to make it 69-all before Roy hit a corner 3 and Coleman converted a three-point play to give the Cowboys a 75-69 lead with 4:17 to play.

Oklahoma State had scored at least 85 points in a program-record eight consecutive games.

Vyctorius Miller (ankle), who leads the Cowboys in scoring (15.9 per game), did not play.

It was the first matchup between the programs.
