10. Texas A&M Corpus Christi
Date: Dec. 22
Final Score: 92-70
Location: Gallagher-Iba Arena, Stillwater, OK
Current Opponent Record: 12-9 (5-5 Southland)
The Pokes final game before they started Big 12 play looked like a solid confidence builder. However, it was also the Cowboys’ final win before their longest losing streak of the season as they lost their first six games in Big 12 play.
Senior shooting guard Phil Forte had a great game, leading the Cowboys in scoring, with 19 points. Meanwhile, he shot better than 50 percent from the field.
Furthermore, it was an impressive victory for the Pokes considering their star point guard Jawun Evans only scored six points. In effect, they had to find some secondary scoring from guys like freshman guard Lindy Waters III, who posted 12 points and four rebounds against the Hooks.
Overall, it was difficult to pick one certain game to slot at no. 10, but this could be an underrated win for the Pokes moving forward.
