Earlier this year, Cape Verde became the smallest nation to qualify for the FIBA World Cup. Tuesday, Cape Verde lost to Oklahoma State in an exhibition game.
It’s tough to make many sweeping statements from Oklahoma State’s 86-79 victory against Cape Verde. For starters, it was an exhibition game. It was also played in August in Madrid, Spain, and it was this group of Cowboys’ first public showing.
The games on OSU’s Spanish exhibition tour aren’t streamed, but they are available after the fact via OSU Max. I sat down Wednesday morning and watched Tuesday’s game. There isn’t an official box score, so I kept my own unofficial stats.
