Oklahoma State dropped its first game of the 2026-27 season as the Cowboys fell to Texas A&M on the road in College State, 88-69.
With the loss, the Cowboys fell to 2-1 on the season.
It was a bad shooting night for the Pokes from start to the finish as they shot just 30% from the floor and a paltry 20% from 3-point range on 6-of-30 shooting. On the other end, the Aggies shot much better as they went 51% from the floor and 48% from 3-point range.
Aside from the shooting disparity, the rest of the stat sheet was fairly even. It was 38 rebounds apiece, with the Cowboys outrebounding 20-11 on the offensive end, but that’s to be expected with so many misses. They forced 19 turnovers to just 16, scoring 26 points off Aggie turnovers to just 18 points by the Aggies.
The Cowboys had 15 second chance points to 13, outscored them 26-24 in the paint, but got outscored 24-18 in points off the bench. But it was a fairly short bench for Steve Lutz, despite playing 11 guys. Parker Robinson played just two minutes, Ben Ahmed four and Luka Bogavac nine.
Kanye Clary played a significant chunk of time as he finished with a team-high 14 points in 28 minutes. It came, however, on 3-of-14 shooting from the floor, including 3-of-10 from 3-point range and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. He also had five turnovers.
Freshman Anthony Felesi also had 14 points but on a much more efficient 5-of-9 shooting with eight rebounds. Kashie Natt finished with 12 points and Julius Halaifonua with 10.
The Cowboys are back in action on Monday, Nov. 16 as they play host to Central Arkansas.
