And just more than a minute later, he made another three-point play for an 11-point lead, which the Cowboys would hold with both Cunningham and Likekele on the bench.
It was a crucial step for OSU to take without their leaders.
But Walker wasn’t finished in the first half.
Walker hit three straight corner 3-pointers to put OSU up 21. All were on assists by Cunningham, who finished with 20 points, four assists and four rebounds.
In total, Walker finished with 19 points, a monster home debut for a freshman.
A shooter’s night
Walker wasn’t the only one shooting well.
