STILLWATER — The Cowboys had a lead and, against a recent trend, they not only held it but expanded it.
Oklahoma State thumped Tulsa 82-56 on Friday in Gallagher-Iba Arena. After a slow start the Cowboys poured it on and looked as good as they have all season. Here are five thoughts from the game.
1. Lead Maintained
Blown leads have been the story of OSU’s season thus far, even in the Cowboys’ recent win against DePaul.
Leads of 13, 17 and 18 haven’t been safe this season, but the Cowboys finished Friday, taking a 12-point lead at the half as high as 39 in the second half before Mike Boynton cleared his bench.
