Despite being separated by about a 6.5-hour drive, the Cowboys and Bluejays haven’t met since the turn of the century.
The last meeting took place in the 1998-99 season, when Creighton beat the Cowboys 66-60 in Omaha. Adrian Peterson led the Cowboys in scoring that day with 20 points. Desmond Mason was the only other Poke in double figures, putting up a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double.
The teams also met the season before — a 16-point win for the Pokes in Stillwater. This time Mason had a 16-point, 14-rebound double-double. He was one of four OSU players in double figures, joining Peterson (17), Brett Robisch (17) and Joe Adkins (16).
Before that game, the Cowboys hadn’t played Creighton since the 1986-87 season, where OSU won 84-69 in Oklahoma City. Two Cowboys put up monstrous double-doubles that day. Ray Alford had 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Sylvester Kincheon added 21 points and 15 rebounds.
