8. Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Date: Dec. 10

Final Score: 71-67

Location: Donald Reynolds Center, Tulsa, OK

Current Opponent Record: 12-10 (6-4 AAC)

The best part about beating Tulsa was the emergence of Averette. He had a game-high 17 points in the absence of Evans at the point guard position. Ever since this game, Underwood trusts Averette with more minutes, even alongside Evans.

This was a tightly contested game the entire way, as the Golden Hurricane actually outscored the Cowboys in the second half 37-33. Carroll’s 13 points and eight rebounds also helped push the Cowboys to a four-point victory.

Another freshman that really broke out in this game was guard Thomas Dziagwa who scored 11 points, nine coming from behind the three-point line. However, Dziagwa’s playing time has been spotty this season. The emergence of sophomore guard Davon Dillard has a lot to do with that.

It’s always good for the Pokes to start off their schedule against their two biggest rivals from Oklahoma with two victories. That’s something to always keep the fans in Stillwater happy.
