Luka Bogavac absolutely went off for 14 points, kicking off Oklahoma State’s season with a monster 91-60 win against Incarnate Word. This wasn’t just a win, though, the Cowboys came out swinging and set the tone for the whole game.
Cowboys Started Hot, Never Looked Back
Right from the opening tip, Oklahoma State stomped on the gas, throwing down the first 12 points and forcing Incarnate Word into a whopping six turnovers before they could even blink. Jacob Walker was a menace out there, grabbing two steals during that insane opening surge and dishing out an assist on Jordan Burks’ dunk that made it 12-0 with just over 16 minutes left in the first half. Talk about making a statement right out of the gate, huh? They kept pouring it on, hitting halftime with a ridiculous 54-17 lead. Bogavac even capped that half with a clutch three-pointer right at the buzzer. Seriously, you gotta love that kind of swagger.
Dominance Across The Board
This wasn’t just a few hot hands, either. It was a complete team effort. Walker ended up with eight assists and four steals, showing he was all over the court. The Cowboys’ defense was relentless, forcing Incarnate Word into 21 turnovers while only coughing up the ball nine times themselves. That’s some clean basketball, folks. They shot 45% from the field and even snagged 15 offensive rebounds, showing that hustle for second-chance points. Incarnate Word had a couple of bright spots with Mekhi Conner dropping 18 points and Godswill Erheriene adding 12, but it clearly wasn’t enough to stop the Oklahoma State freight train.
Next up, Oklahoma State is set to host Queens on Friday. Meanwhile, Incarnate Word will look to regroup against Chicago State this Thursday.
