Series History
This will mark just the second time these teams face off on the hardwood after Oklahoma State beat the Grizzlies 84-71 in Stillwater last season.
That game saw Cade Cunningham drop 18 points to go along with eight assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block. Isaac Likekele added 16 points and seven boards. Kalib Boone (13), Ferron Flavors (12) and Bryce Williams (10) also scored in double figures.
Oakland guard Rashad Williams went nuclear that game, scoring 32 points while hitting 10 3-pointers. OSU fans will be happy to know that Williams transferred to Travis Ford’s Saint Louis this offseason.
