A roundtable of contributions helped Oklahoma State to a season-opening win over the Houston Baptist on Saturday.
The
Cowboys won 86-73 over the Huskies at Gallagher-Iba Arena in
Stillwater, Okla. It was their 36th-consecutive season-opening win at
home and 1,498th win in regular-season
history.
Oklahoma
State was led by the quartet of Keiton Page, Nick Sidorakis, Marshall
Moses and Jean-Paul Olukemi. The Cowboys will need contributions from

Baptist kept the score close early. The game was tied at 10 with
13:09 left in the first half before the Cowboys went on a 9-3 run. The
