• Senior forward Mario Boggan recorded his fourth-career double-double with 24 points and 13 rebounds. His 13 rebounds set a career high.

• The Cowboy defense has given up at least 70 points in each of the last three games.
• Freshman guard Obi Muonelo reached double figures for the ninth-consecutive time to start his career, continuing to add to his own record as a freshman. His 16 points matched a career high. He also dished out a career-high seven assists.
