In a game that was much closer than the final score might indicate, a total of seven Oklahoma State players scored at least 10 points, including Jeffrey Carroll, who had 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds. Freshman Brandon Averette added a career-high 15 points.

Jeylyn Sharpe scored 18 points and added eight rebounds to lead Rogers State (4-3), a Division II school that did not look outmatched and remained within striking distance most of the night.

When Travis Hester swished a 3-pointer with 7:43 remaining, the Hillcats pulled to within 77-73, but Oklahoma State went on a 17-3 run over the next 4:13 to put the game away.
