The Cowboys didn’t trail for the first 31:55 of regulation, but it was a dogfight long before then. In spite of a career night from Lindy Waters (20 points on 7-of-13 shooting) the Cowboys early scoring dried up and the Sooners earned a 70-61 win inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
OSU ran out to an early lead fueled by a barrage of made 3-pointers by Waters. The former high school teammate of Trae Young (in case you weren’t aware!) was OSU’s offense from the tip. Waters scored 8 of the Cowboys’ first 11 points and made all five of his shots to start including three from beyond the arc.
