Campbell Postgame Notes

The victory gives Brad Underwood his first as the head coach of the Cowboys, and the 90th of his career (90-14 career record).
Jawun Evans lit up the scoreboard to the tune of 34 points, which is his second-best career scoring performance behind only his 42-point outing against Oklahoma. It marks the 28th best scoring performance in school history.
The Cowboys had a trio of 20-point scorers - Evans, Carroll and Forte - for the first time since Jan. 21, 2009 against Missouri. That night, Obi Muonelo tallied 22 and Byron Eaton and Terrel Harris each had 21.
The Cowboys tallied 102 points on the night, which is tied for the 30th most in school history are the most by an OSU squad since since a 117-point outing against Mississippi Valley State in 2013.
Cameron McGriff came off the bench to grab a game-high 13 rebounds. That total is tied for the fifth most by a player off the bench in OSU history, and tied for the 10th most ever by an OSU freshman.
With 26 points at the half, it was the best first half of Evans' his career and the most in a first half by a Cowboy since Marcus Smart tallied 26 against Memphis on Nov. 19, 2013. It was the fifth 20-plus point game of Evans' career.
OSU has now won 41 straight home openers at GIA, and 22 straight season openers overall. Oklahoma State is now 84-24 (.778) in season openers in its history.
Fueled by Evans, OSU closed the first half on a 26-9 run over the final 8:40.
Phil Forte made his return to the floor after missing 29 games last season due to injury. The redshirt senior racked up 22 points and hit two 3-pointers to bring his career total to 246. He needs just 53 more to tie the OSU career record currently held by Keiton Page.
Forte's 22 points moves his career total to 1,329, which helped him jump two spots into 20th in Cowboy history. He now trails JamesOn Curry by 34 points for 19th place.
