There may have been more eyes on the stands than there were on the court as Bryce Thompson attended OSU’s home opener, but the ones who watched saw the Pokes get past ORU 80-75 to start the year in GIA.
Mike Boynton’s squad never trailed in the win, but they tried to late after building an early double-digit lead on the back of senior Lindy Waters’ shooting. ORU rumbled back in the first half, but OSU took a 9-point lead into the locker room led by Waters with 10 and Yor Anei with 9.
The second half started as if it was going to be an absolute rout.
