STILLWATER — Mike Marsh finished with 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting as Oklahoma State rolled over Houston Christian, 92-65, Friday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Six players scored in double-figures for OSU (3-3) for the first time since a Nov. 22, 2021 win over the College of Charleston.
Marsh was accompanied by Jarius Hicklen (12 points on four three-pointers), Eric Dailey Jr. (12), Brandon Garrison (10), John-Michael Wright (10) and Jamyron Keller (10).
Garrison became just the fourth Cowboy freshman to record six-or-more blocks in a single game, joining a club that includes Yor Anei (2018-19), Byron Houston (1988-89) and Leroy Combs (1979-80).
Javon Small (eight assists) and Quion Williams (career-high six) combined for 14 of OSU's 24 assists. The Cowboys committed just nine turnovers and out-rebounded the visitors 47-38.
Marcus Greene (16 points) and Chigozie Alvarez (15) led the scoring for Houston Christian (0-4), which made nine of its first 13 shots on the way to a 25-23 lead midway through the first half but connected on just 15-of-51 the rest of the way to finish at 37.5%.
Wright's three-pointer – the 250th of his NCAA career – put OSU back in front for good with 9:26 to play in the half and set off a 10-0 run. The Cowboys would lead by 15 at the intermission.
OSU shot 52.9% during its highest-scoring first half (52 points) since Dec. 22, 2017 when they put up 53 against UTRGV. Marsh accounted for 10 points and Dailey and Wright chipped in eight each.
HCU scored the first four points of the second half to pull within 52-41 but missed its next eight shots.
OSU capitalized with 21-3 run, sparked by three Hicklen triples.
The Cowboys pushed their lead to as many as 32 points with 5:03 to play.
Helped by 20 fast break points, OSU shot 48.6% from the field. Ten Cowboys played at least 10:00 and all of them scored.
Oklahoma State wraps up its homestand Thursday, Nov. 30 against No. 8/7 Creighton (8 p.m. CT, ESPN2). Reserve your seats at okstate.com/tickets.
