November 03, 2007 | Cowboy Basketball
The Cowboys scored seven points before Panhandle State was finally able to get on the board. Nearly six minutes into the game, OSu was up 18-2 and the rout was on. The Pokes took their largest lead of the half at the 2:14 mark when a free throw by freshman James Anderson made it 54-19.
Dove scored 15 points in the first period on 6-of-8 shooting. He also had five rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots by intermission. His career high is 14 points entering his final season.
Muonelo and Anderson scored 11 points each in the first stanza. OSU shot 54.1 percent in the period, including 9-of-14 from long range. Meanwhile, the Aggies could not get anything started offensively, connecting on just 10-of-34 shots from the floor, including an 0-of-9 performance from behind the arc.
Despite extending the lead to as many as 43 points in the second half, Oklahoma State struggled. The Cowboys shot just 38.7 percent in the second period, including a dismal 3-of-13 from behind the three-point line. OSU outscored Panhandle State 32-30 after halftime.
Oklahoma State will have one more exhibition game on Tuesday, Nov. 6, as the Cowboys host NCAA Division II East Central in an 8 p.m. tipoff. The Cowboys will open the regular season one week from today on Nov. 9 as the Pokes host Prairie View A&M at 8:30 p.m.
