Cowboys Swarm UT-San Antonio, 84-47
December 31, 2006 | Cowboy Basketball
The Cowboys shot 55.2 percent from the field while recording their 13th win, matching the school record for victories before January, set during 2001-02.
It was Oklahoma State's fourth win in as many tries against Texas-San Antonio (4-9). The Cowboys' average margin of victory in those games is 28 points.
UTSA scored the fewest points of any Oklahoma State opponent this season.
Oklahoma State (13-1) began the season by playing seven of its first nine games at home, but hadn't appeared at Gallagher-Iba Arena since a Dec. 2 win over Pepperdine. Since then, the Cowboys have played games in New York, San Diego, Nashville, Tenn., and Oklahoma City.
UTSA's first-year coach is former Oklahoma State star Brooks Thompson, a two-time All-Big Eight selection for the Cowboys in the early 1990s. He was hailed as ``one of our own'' and received a rousing ovation during the team introductions.
Thompson's squad, which plays in the Southland Conference, then stuck with its Big 12 foe for the better part of a half.
