Oklahoma State Men's Basketball Postgame Notes

Feb. 19, 2000

OSU is now 10-2 in Big 12 play. The Cowboys, who were 11-5 in the league in 1998 and 10-6 in 1999, have won at least 10 conference games in three consecutive years for the first time since the 1935-36 through 1938-39 seasons, when Oklahoma A&M went a combined 42-3 while winning four of its five consecutive Missouri Valley Conference crowns.

The Cowboys moved back into a tie for first place in the Big 12 with Iowa State and Texas.

The victory is OSU's first in Stillwater over Nebraska since Feb. 18, 1995, snapping a two-game losing streak. However, the Cowboys have won six of the last nine games in the series.

In its past three home games, OSU has shot 32-55 (.582) from three-point range and 97-179 (.542) from the field.

Joe Adkins scored 10 points tonight. In the past six games, he has averaged 14.0 points.

Doug Gottlieb now has 865 assists in his career. Tonight, he dished out nine assists and moved into 14th place in NCAA Division I history in that category. He also hit his first three-pointer since the Jan. 15 Baylor game.

Brian Montonati hit the first two three-pointers of his career. His 22 points tie his career high for Division I games. Montonati also had 22 points against Texas-San Antonio earlier this season, and his overall career high was a 28-point effort against Langston on Jan. 5. He recorded his seventh double-double this season and the 10th of his career but his first since Jan. 8.

Glendon Alexander hit six three-pointers tonight, marking the third time he has done so this season (he had seven against Langston and six against Texas A&M in Stillwater). In the previous four years, OSU players had only made as many treys in a game twice (Alexander last season and Adkins two years ago).

In its last three home games, OSU's average margin of victory is 34.7 points. The Cowboys came within one point of their all-time-widest margin of victory against Nebraska. In fact, the team's last home win over the Cornhuskers set the record in a 93-53 rout Feb. 18, 1995.

Alex Webber scored 10 points, his first double-digit outing since he had 11 against Texas Tech in the league opener Jan. 8.

Jason Keep tied a career high with six points.
