It turns out, Oklahoma State just needed to get out of the Big 12 for a weekend. Ironic, considering the opponent. The Pokes drilled former league-mate Texas A&M in the Big 12-SEC Challenge on Saturday in College Station, 73-62.
It’s OSU’s first win of 2020, and it ends a six-game losing streak.
Mike Boynton got a ton of first-half production from his new-look bench, partly because one of his starters, Cam McGriff, got into some early foul trouble.
Thomas Dziagwa and Yor Anei — new members of the second unit — combined for 11, and Jonathan Laurent chipped in 7 points as the reserves outscored the starters 20-14 over the first 20 minutes.
