Watch: Mike Boynton Discusses 71-60 NIT Win Over Eastern Washington

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton met with the media following the Cowboys’ 71-60 win over Eastern Washington on Sunday afternoon in the NIT.

“Really happy to be still playing and have an opportunity to compete with these guys,” Boynton said after the win. “Obviously, basketball season’s a long season to get to this point where not only are you still playing, but you’re playing for something meaningful and playing for each other. It’s pretty neat. I was really proud of our effort this afternoon, but I was even more proud of our fans’ effort.”

It was Bryce Thompson who led the way in scoring for the Pokes, as he dropped 22 points on 50% shooting from the field, 6-of-11 from 3-point range.

Tyreek Smith recorded his second-straight double-double, marking the second of his career, as he finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds, nine of which came on the defensive end.
