STILLWATER — Somebody had to play the first official game against the Cowboys after the NCAA ruling; UT-Arlington drew that short straw.
Oklahoma State throttled UT-Arlington 88-45 on Tuesday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Mavericks actually started the game with a 1-0 lead after a technical foul was called against OSU for changing it’s starting lineup within 10 minutes of the tipoff. Bernard Kouma was initially listed as an OSU starter before Moussa Cisse took his spot. That 1-0 lead was the only lead UTA ever held.
OSU went into halftime with a 43-14 lead. Avery Anderson nearly outscored UTA in the first half, putting up all 13 of his points.
