TIP-INS
Long Beach State: Faust had led the team in scoring the last three games before Spencer outscored him by a point. Faust has also scored double figures in every game this season.
Oklahoma State: The Cowboys' 20 assists is the most the team has had this season. This is this first time since the 1996-97 season that the Cowboys face the same opponent in back-to-back games. This is the first game that senior transfer Chris Olivier did not reach double figures in a Cowboy uniform.
