FORT WORTH, Texas -- When Oklahoma State crossed back over the Red River after last playing in Texas, the Cowboys were heading home after a loss.That was almost two months ago. The Cowboys havent lost since and now control their fate in trying to win the Big 12 championship.No. 13 Oklahoma State, with a six-game winning streak since losing in its league opener at Baylor, plays Saturday at TCU . And coach Mike Gundy knows the Cowboys (8-2, 6-1 Big 12, No. 11 CFP) have to be focused on finishing strong.Fatigue could be an issue in conference play, but there is so much parity in our league right now that its just a matter of what teams stay focused, make the plays, take care of the football, and so on, Gundy said. I do feel better about where we are now than we were at this time last year with our health on the defensive side of the ball.Oklahoma State was 10-0 at this point a year ago, but with quarterback Mason Rudolph also hurt, the Cowboys had consecutive home losses to Baylor and Oklahoma that ended their Big 12 and playoff hopes.With wins at TCU (5-4, 3-3) and eighth-ranked Oklahoma , the Cowboys would be guaranteed no worse than a tie for the Big 12 lead -- and would have the tiebreaker to be declared conference champions.TCU, one win from being bowl eligible, is coming off an open date after a 40-point victory at Baylor .We feel confident that we can finish and end the season on a good note, TCU defensive end James McFarland said. I feel that we have finally started to get to a point where we trust each other and we feel confident in our abilities.The Frogs are eager to get back on the field for the first time since handing Baylor its worst home loss in 11 years.When you come off a win like that, its torturous to go into a bye week, receiver John Diarse said. Guys are channeling that energy into this game.Some other things to watch Saturday:SO CLOSE TO PERFECTMike Gundy considers Oklahoma State a 9-1 team. He doesnt accept the Central Michigan game as a loss after that Hail Mary pass for a TD on an untimed play that officials later admitted should have never happened. In their loss at Baylor, the Cowboys were on the verge of a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter but had a fumble that led to Baylors 99-yard drive in a 35-24 win.RUN BY DESIGNTCU quarterback Kenny Hills 85 yards rushing were his most in Big 12 play. There could now be more designed run plays for Hill, who also throws for 299 yards per game. He does a lot better when he gets involved in the game, not just be a true drop-back guy, Patterson said.CLOSE ONESOklahoma State is 4-1 in games decided by seven points or fewer, winning four in a row since the Central Michigan controversy. However the game flows is how it is, and we just have to make sure we fight hard all the way to the finish, Cowboys linebacker Justin Phillips said. TCU is 1/3 in such games, including two double-overtime losses.RUDOLPH ROLLINGOklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph has been spectacular during the Cowboys six-game winning streak, with 2,088 yards passing. He has 18 touchdowns and only two interceptions while completing 69 percent of his passes (136 of 198).SAME BUT DIFFERENTTCU junior running back Kyle Hicks and Oklahoma State freshman Justice Hill both have 789 yards rushing this season. But Hicks is third in the Big 12 with 87.7 yards per game, ahead of Hill at 78.9 yards per game -- the Cowboys have played one more game than TCU. Hicks is second in the league with 12 rushing TDs, five of them at Baylor.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Denard Span Jersey .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final.

LONDON -- Milos Raonic knocked out Roger Federer on his way to the Wimbledon final and had been crashing down serves at more than 140mph.The great John McEnroe, in the 25-year-olds coaching corner, had his confidence flowing, too, and Andy Murray had a fight on his hands on Centre Court on Sunday.This was how the world No.2 took care of the talented Candians strengths and proved himself a great champion:Serving styleMurray usually tells it pretty much as it is, but when he said: I served very well and knew Id have to, he was being modest with the first part of his statement.He had won only 67 percent of his first-serve points in his previous 10 Grand Slam finals. As the graphic shows, he won 86 percent against Raonic. Even more remarkably, he only lost one point in the entire match when his first serve was hit to the forehand, the No. 6-seeds strength.The Briton did this predominantly by directing his serve down the Centre Court T, especially on the advantage court, making Raonics returns more predictable and improving his chances of dictating the subsequent rallies.He lost only four points in this area in total and hit five of his eight aces there.Court coverageMurray has developed a great deal over the last few years as an aggressive player and is knowwn now for the attacking positions he takes up on the court, particularly on his opponents second serve.ddddddddddddHe is also known as one of the fittest players on the tour, and the heat map shows that he took a central position on the baseline most of the time, trying to dictate from there.Sitting in the middle of the court, the graphic shows he was well-placed to cover the court when he had to; he ran a total of 2,367 metres in the match.Both players refusal to give up even the slightest chance of making a return was a noticeable feature of the match, and some of the Raonic smashes Murray was able to track down were particularly impressive.Brilliant backhandMurray sprayed the ball around superbly with his backhand throughout the final, producing some world-class passing shots.As the graphic above shows, he preferred to hit it cross-court most of the time, but went down the line enough to keep Raonic guessing.The match statistics tell the story on their own: Murray hit 15 winners on his backhand to the 3 of his opponent. He wasnt bad on his forehand, either, making only one unforced error on that shot to the Canadians 13. ' ' '
