TAMUCC Postgame Notes

Mitchell Solomon piled up nine offensive boards - just one off the school record - and a career-high 14 total rebounds against the Islanders. The 14 rebounds are tied for the fourth-most by an OSU player off the bench, and are the most by a Cowboy since Marshall Moses had 15 boards against Rhode Island in 2010.
Phil Forte connected on 5-of-10 shot from 3-point, which are the most he's had in a game since hitting six against Kansas State as a sophomore. It brings him to within 28 of the Oklahoma State career record. Forte has 271 career 3-pointers to his credit.
Thomas Dziagwa continued his hot-shooting streak from downtown. The freshman was 3-of-7 from 3-point, which brings him to 13-of-23 over the last four games.
Forte was 2-of-2 from the free throw line today. The senior leads the nation in free throw percentage with a clip of 97.8 percent. Forte made his last 22 attempts.
Brad Underwood earned his 99th career victory and upped his career win percentage to 86.1 - tops among all active Division I coaches. With just 16 career losses, Underwood has a chance to reach his 100th victory faster than any coaches since Missouri's Doc Meanwell in 1918 (100-9) and Buck Freeman of St. John's in 1932 (100-10).
The announced attendance of 8,342 was OSU largest of the season.
The Cowboys have forced every opponent to commit at least 15 turnovers, and have racked up at least seven steals in every game.
In his most extensive action of the season, Davon Dillard scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds - both career highs.
Jeffrey Carroll has reached double-figures in scoring in all but one game this season, and he scored eight points in that game.
The Cowboys are now 6-0 at home this season, and are now 10-2 overall. The last time OSU reached 10 wins fast than 12 games was in 2013-14, when they started the year 10-1.
The Cowboys are now 10-0 all-time against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and 56-8 against teams from the Southland Conference.
OSU already owns a stellar mark inside GIA, especially against non-conference foes. Today's win improved OSU to 416-52 (.889) all-time inside Gallagher-Iba Arena against non-conference opponents, including a 203-7 (.967) mark since 1989.
