Incoming Oklahoma State freshman Eric Dailey Jr. scored 10 points against Lebanon and added five rebounds, a steal and two blocks in just 18:38 on the floor. His per 40 averages throughout pool play were 26.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 3.2 steals and 2.4 blocks. He has shot 54% from the field.
