Five Thoughts on OSU’s 77-58 Loss to Villanova

The defending national champs looked like defending national champs.

Villanova defeated Oklahoma State 77-58 on Friday in the semifinals of the AdvoCare Invitational. The Wildcats hit 16 3-pointers against the Cowboys and controlled the tempo throughout the game.

Nova’s Eric Paschall scored a game-high 22 points on 62-percent shooting. He had 20 points at halftime after going 6-for-7 from 3-point range.

Graduate transfer point guard Mike Cunningham led the Pokes with 15 points. Cameron McGriff added 11 with five rebounds.

The Cowboys will play in the tournament’s third-place game against either Florida State or LSU on Sunday.
