Scouting: Cameron McGriff has gone from averaging 8.4 points per game as a sophomore to leading Oklahoma State this season at 13.9 points per game. He scored a career-high 28 points in the Cowboys' last win, over No. 19 LSU. The Cowboys, with former Brad Underwood assistant Mike Boynton at the helm, will look a lot like Underwood's Illini team — pressure defense, a unique high-post offense and lots of three-point attempts.
Trending: This is Oklahoma State's second trip to the Pentagon. The Cowboys beat Minnesota 62-60 there in 2015. Since that night, the Cowboys have lost their last three games against Big Ten foes, including an 83-76 loss to Minnesota earlier this season.
