Tempe, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Mason Rudolph passed for 299 yards and two touchdowns in his third career start and Oklahoma State upended Washington 30-22 to win the Cactus Bowl. Rudolph took over at quarterback for Daxx Garman following a 28-7 loss against Texas on Nov. 15, OSUs fourth loss during a five-game slide. Rudolph helped the Cowboys top rival Oklahoma in the last week of the regular season to become bowl eligible. The true freshman completed 17-of-26 passes, Desmond Roland gained 123 yards on 32 carries and Oklahoma State (7-6) improved to 6-3 in bowl games under coach Mike Gundy. Bowl season tends to lead to trickeration, and OSU had a few tricks up its sleeve early on. Senior defensive tackle James Castleman checked in for his first career offensive play with the Cowboys facing 2nd-and-goal from the 1- yard line. Castleman lined up in the shotgun, took the snap and rumbled forward, falling just over the goal line to open the scoring. Later in the first, Brandon Sheperd took a handoff and threw back across the field to Rudolph, who picked up blocking on his way to a 22-yard gain. Two plays later, Rudolph went up top to James Washington for a 28-yard touchdown. Ben Grogan drilled a 40-yard field goal at 9:22 of the second to make it 17-0, and Rudolphs 47-yard TD pass to Sheperd towards the end of the half sent the Cowboys into halftime leading 24-0. Washington went four possessions to start the game without picking up a first down. It finally did on Dwayne Washingtons 18-yard run six minutes into the second. The Huskies went 0-for-6 on third down in the first half and gained 180 fewer yards than OSU. But they found new life in the third quarter. Cyler Miles was the catalyst, completing 4-of-5 for 43 yards on the first possession after halftime, and Jaydon Mickens finished the 7-play march with a 31-yard touchdown run. After Grogans 27-yard field goal made it 27-7, Washington got a boost from its special teams with John Ross taking back the ensuing kickoff 96 yards to the end zone. Facing 4th-and-6 early in the fourth quarter, Miles only picked up four yards on a QB keeper and the Huskies turned it over on downs. Another short Grogan kick pushed the lead to 30-14. Desperate for eight points, Miles led Washington down the field and capped an impressive 8-play drive with a screen pass to Mickens, who dodged defenders and ran 16 yards for a touchdown. Miles then hit Deontae Cooper out of the backfield for the 2-point conversion. But Washingtons comeback bid came up short, with Castleman making his impact felt yet again on the offensive end. On 3rd-and-2 from the OSU 35, Castleman went out for a pass and caught a short dump off from Rudolph, then trucked two defenders to the ground and lumbered 48 yards before finally going down. Grogan, who hit his first three field goals, pushed a 27-yarder wide left with 43 seconds to play, leaving the door open, but Miles was intercepted by Kevin Peterson. Miles completed 25-of-38 for 268 yards for Washington (8-6). Game Notes Oklahoma State went 2-for-2 on fourth down ... Both teams picked up 22 first downs ... Castleman also had a sack ...

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Jim Boeheim had no concerns when No. 12 Virginia pounded the ball inside to Akil Mitchell and Mike Tobey in the first half against Syracuses zone. "That was fine. They had 27 points. We were fine with that," Boeheim said. What the Hall of Fame coach was worried about happened in the second half on Saturday, when Virginia started connecting from outside, making 7 of 11 3-point tries to hand the No. 4 Orange their third loss in four games, 75-56. Malcolm Brogdon did much of the damage, scoring 17 of his career-high 19 points after the intermission, and London Perrantes and Justin Anderson each hit a pair from behind the arc. Brogdon (12.4) and Harris (11.5) came into the game leading the Cavaliers in scoring, but were combined 1 for 8 with three points at halftime. They got untracked in the second half, finding openings in the Orange defence. "I just thought we allowed Brogdon to shoot and we started the game for the whole first half not allowing him to shoot," Boeheim said. The Orange also were hampered by the second-half absence of Jerami Grant, their leading rebounder and No. 3 scorer, who played 13 minutes in the first half before an aching back forced him to the bench. He did not score, missing three shots, and grabbed just one rebound. It all meant the Orange, in close games all year, couldnt stay in this one. "This is the first game all year that we have been out of the game," Boeheim said. Brogdon scored eight points during a decisive second-half run and Virginia won its 13th consecutive game and clinched the top seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Mitchell added 12 points and nine rebounds and Tobey and Anderson scored 11 each for the Cavaliers (25-5, 16-1 ACC),, who won their only other outright ACC regular-season title 33 years ago -- 1980-81 -- when Ralph Sampson was a sophomore.dddddddddddd The final buzzer brought hundreds streaming onto the court. Tyler Ennis and C.J. Fair scored 13 each for the Orange (26-3, 13-3). Syracuse allowed Virginia to shoot 50 per cent (27-54) while shooting just 35.7 per cent (20-56). Brogdon broke a 42-all tie with two free throws, and then hit a jumper from the foul line. After a turnover by the Orange, Perrantes hit a deep 3-pointer that gave the Cavaliers a 49-42 lead. Rakeem Christmas dunk after a Syracuse timeout quieted the crowd, but only for a minute because Anderson made a 3-pointer from the right side, Brogdon followed an Orange miss with a jumper and then followed another miss with a jumper. The lead was 56-45 with 5:15 remaining and fans sensed that the Cavaliers were in the process of putting the game away. Ennis, playing with four fouls, hit a pair of free throws to slow the run, but Joe Harris hit a free throw, and then followed a Syracuse miss with a 3-pointer, his first basket in nine tries, causing the crowd to erupt in appreciation for the four-year starter. Harris was removed with 38.9 seconds left to a deafening cheer at Jones Paul Jones Arena. Virginia had first-half runs on 9-0 and 8-2 in building a 22-15 lead, but a jumper by Fair and Ennis 3-pointer -- the first of the game -- with 5:14 left in the half sparked 13-2 burst for the Orange. Trevor Cooney, who had missed 22 of his last 27 3-point shots, and Richmond native Michael Gbinije then connected back-to-back from beyond the arc for Syracuse, and Christmas dunk made it 28-24. Justin Anderson hit a 3, Virginias first, with 47 seconds left and it was 28-27 at the half. ' ' '
