Five Thoughts on Oklahoma State’s 92-65 Victory against Houston Christian

STILLWATER — After a rocky start, the Cowboys are back to .500.

Oklahoma State torched Houston Christian 92-65 on Friday in Gallagher-Iba Arena, pushing the Pokes to 3-3 on the year. Here are five thoughts on the game.

Javon Small Is SGA-Esque

Most guards who are good enough to play Division-I basketball these days are probably fairly fast.

So in a world filled with fast humans, how do you set yourself apart? You slow down.

Javon Small is so good at controlling pace. To me, it’s similar to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder except, whereas SGA is more often than not looking for score, Small is more often than not looking to pass.
