OSU Basketball Wins in Bizarre Game
Oklahoma State started off the night on fire in the first half, jumping out to a 15-0 lead in the first half and went into the break up 37-25 at the half.
But coming out of the break, the Cowboys were absolutely dreadful – letting the Lancers go on a big run to start the second half and nearly blew the lead before Gallagher-Iba went dark midway through the second half. The lights went out in GIA and the three-point attempt by Jawun Evans with the lights on wasn’t seen when the lights went out. Here’s what it looked like:

During the delay, here’s some of the pictures of the arena:

Leyton Hammonds’ poured in 22 points and looked impressive, hitting three-of-five from downtown. His aggression throughout the game allowed him the chance to take 12 free throws, knocking down 11 of those.
After the electricity was restored to the arena, the Cowboys came back alive and went on a 19-4 run, and never looked back. The 42-minute delay, a blowout that wasn’t a blowout – which ended up being a blowout after all – is one of the more bizarre and exciting non-conference games I’ve seen.
“It was odd, but I’m glad it happened. It seemed to ignite us,” Ford said.
The Cowboys are now 7-3 on the season, and face the Florida Gators on Saturday night in Florida.
