Main Story

Oklahoma State’s hot start at home didn’t travel: the Cowboys shot 30.3% and fell 88-69 to Texas A&M in their first road game. OSU’s 20 offensive rebounds and 19 forced turnovers created opportunities, but the Aggies’ efficient shooting—especially from 3-point range—built a 13-point halftime lead and kept the Cowboys at a distance.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: Texas A&M 88, Oklahoma State 69.
  • OSU shot 20-for-66 (30.3%) overall and 6-for-30 (20.0%) from 3-point range.
  • Texas A&M shot 26-for-51 (51.0%) overall and 12-for-25 (48.0%) from 3-point range.
  • OSU had 20 offensive rebounds and forced 19 turnovers; Texas A&M committed 16 turnovers.
  • Four Cowboys scored in double figures: Kanye Clary and Anthony Felesi had 14 apiece, Kashie Natt scored 12, and Julius Halaifonua had 10.
Yes, But

OSU generated 26 points off turnovers and held advantages in second-chance points and points off turnovers, but struggled to convert those extra chances into enough offense. The Cowboys made 23 of 29 free throws, yet finished with just 11 assists after totaling 45 in their first two games.

What's Next

OSU will look to regain its offensive rhythm after a sharp drop from its first two games, when it averaged 104.5 points on 53.7% shooting. Freshman Anthony Felesi’s career-high 14 points and eight offensive rebounds offer a bright spot as the Cowboys move forward.

Bottom Line

The Cowboys created extra possessions, but poor shooting and Texas A&M’s long-range accuracy decided the game. OSU’s next challenge is turning hustle into more reliable offense away from home.
