STILLWATER — The Cowboys were missing some key pieces for their season opener, but after a tight first half, the Pokes put the Golden Eagles away.
Oklahoma State beat ORU 95-71 on Tuesday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys filled it up in the first half, pouring in 50 points, but Steve Lutz said OSU had a ways to go on the defensive end, as the Cowboys allowed 46 ORU points in the opening 20 minutes.
The Cowboys jumped out to an 8-0 run to start the second half to push the Golden Eagles to arm’s distance.
