Oklahoma State bounced back in a big way as they rolled to an easy 91-62 win over Oakland on the road.

With the win, the Cowboys move to 2-1 overall on the season.

The Cowboys had multiple players in double-digit figures against the Golden Grizzlies, with senior Avery Anderson III leading the way with 18 points. He went 7-of-10 from the floor, 1-of-1 from 3-point range and 3-for-3 from the free throw line. He also finished with seven assists, one steal, one block and three turnovers.

Moussa Cisse finished with his second double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds, as well as three blocks. John-Michael Wright and Caleb Asberry were the other two Cowboys in double figures, as Wright finished with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the floor and an impressive 4-of-7 from 3-point range.

Asberry was great off the bench as he finished with 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the floor and 3-of-5 from 3-point range.

Both Kalib Boone and Chriss Harris were one point shy of finishing with 10 points apiece, with Harris going off from 3-point range and shooting 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Boone went 4-of-7 from the floor with eight rebounds and one block.

There are three stat lines Mike Boynton has to be happy with: 3-point and free throw shooting, as well as turnovers. The Cowboys shot an impressive 52% from beyond the arc, going 12-of-23 from 3-point range. As for free throws, the Cowboys went to the line only a handful of times but finished the game shooting 90%. They also only turned the ball over 10 times.

The Cowboys also scored 33 points off the bench, a figure up considerably from the first two games in which they scored 18 points and 15 points respectively, while holding the Golden Grizzlies to just 18 points off the bench.

The Cowboys will be back out on the road later this week for a showdown against UCF in the Baha Mar Hoops tournament in Nassau, Bahamas. That game is scheduled on Friday, Nov. 18, with a tipoff time yet to be announced. It will, however, be on the CBS Sports Network. More TV details will come at a later time.

Give coach Mike the credit due for having the boys ready to play on the road

I think we just had much better athletes, their tallest guy was 6-7, and we had them by a couple of inches at almost every position.

I don't think that Oakland is very good this year. When your only strength is the trey, and it's not falling, then you're going to be in for a really long night.

I was glad to see the guys playing more as a team, than another AAU pickup game.

I think all three walk ons made the statline last night.

Well a loss sometimes is needed for focus. I hope it went deeper than one game. We've seen these teams get it together here and there, but no consistently. My hope this is the team we see going forward, and we'll see growth from this.

yep.... the tournament in the Bahamas should give us a better feel for the eventual makeup of the team, starting against UCF

we need our bigs to have more time together... Newton was out, and Tyreek got to early fouls and spent much of the first half on the bench. Then Boone and Cisse both got 2 fouls before the half. Coach sat Boone and put Smith back in.

Boone has shown a lot of promise playing at the 4, giving the ball up inside to Cisse for easy plays, and also tossing it back out for open treys by the guards.
