Smart also had four rebounds and four assists.
Kendal Williams made a three for the Hornets to close the score to 8-7 with 14:41 to play in the first half, but they went scoreless over the next eight minutes as Oklahoma State scored 14 points unanswered.
Oklahoma State’s defense held the Hornets to 29.1 percent shooting and forced 17 turnovers.
Le’Bryan Nash led the Cowboys with 16 points in 39 minutes.
