STILLWATER — The Cowboys will not have a winless conference season.
Oklahoma State was one of only 10 Division-I teams left in the country to have not won a conference game, but the Pokes defeated TCU 72-57 on Wednesday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena. It moves the Cowboys to 1-8 in Big 12 play this season.
Isaac Likekele was the Cowboys’ maestro. OSU’s sophomore point guard had his first career double-double after he dished a career-high 11 assists to go with his 15 points. Seven of those dimes came in the first half. The prettiest assist he had on the night came late in the first half when he looked at Keylan Boone in the corner, but Likekele put the ball on a rope to Yor Anei under the basket for a dunk.
