Postgame Notes: OSU vs Arkansas-Monticello
November 03, 2017 | Cowboy Basketball
OSU had 26 offensive rebounds in the exhibition game against the Boll Weevils. If this were a real game, it would have tied for the third most in school history with a 1986 matchup against Creighton. The last time OSU had more offensive rebounds was in 1989 (29 vs Midwestern State on Dec. 9, 1989).
The Cowboys were led offensively by senior Jeffrey Carroll (19 points, 4 rebounds) and redshirt-junior Tavarius Shine (19 points, 7 rebounds). The 19 points for Shine would have been a career high if tonight's game were not an exhibition.
The Cowboys finished with 49 rebounds to 23 rebounds for the Boll Weevils. It would have been the highest rebounding margin for the Cowboys since they had a school-record +35 margin against Milwaukee in 2014-15.
The Cowboys capitalized on those offensive rebounds, for they finished with 28 second chance points to 7 for the Boll Weevils.
OSU has now won 30 straight exhibition games. The Cowboys are 20-0 since the NCAA rule change in 2005-06 that only allows exhibition play against other college teams.
Shine made his return in a Cowboy uniform after sitting out most of last year due to injury, and he made the first three shots he took, all three-pointers.
Zack Dawson and Kendall Smith made their first appearances in an OSU uniform.
Four Cowboys scored in double figures: Carroll, Cameron McGriff, Shine and Solomon.
Both McGriff and Solomon were three rebounds shy of posting a double-double.
The Cowboys moved to 57-4 in exhibition play since the 1973-74 season.
Last year, Mitchell Solomon hauled in 102 offensive rebounds, which ranked 6th in OSU history. He had five in tonight's game.
This was the second matchup between the two teams. Last time they played, the Cowboys won 82-47 in 1981 in Stillwater.
OSU head coach Mike Boynton got the exhibition win in his first ever game as a head coach.
