STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Vyctorius Miller scored a game-high 21 points and reserve Christian Coleman had a double-double and Oklahoma State used the second half to break open a close game and beat Oral Roberts 95-71 on Tuesday night.
In a season-opener for both teams, Coleman scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Parsa Fallah scored 15 points, Jaylen Curry 13 and backup Andrija Vukovic 11 for the Cowboys, who had a 52-37 rebounding advantage.
Ty Harper scored 18 points for the Golden Eagles. Jack Turner added 14 and Ofri Naveh had 11.
Despite the Cowboys building a 22-12 lead, Oral Roberts fought back and took leads of 39-37 and 41-39 before Oklahoma State outscored the Golden Eagles 11-5 in the final 2:34 of the first half.
After intermission, Oklahoma State increased its defensive pressure and quickly pulled away. After forcing Oral Roberts into just four first-half turnovers, the Cowboys forced 11 in the second.
Curry's basket with 11:42 remaining and 3-pointer less than a minute later made it 70-57 and the Cowboys stayed up by double digits for the remainder.
