JamesOn Curry finished with 31 points and David Monds 18 for the Cowboys (14-1), who rolled to their ninth straight win at home.
Boggan and Curry became just the second duo in school history to score 30 points each in a single game. The previous occurred on March 4, 1993, when Fred Burley (35), Brooks Thompson (33) and Bryant Reeves (31) all surpassed the 30-point plateau in a 114-85 win over Oral Roberts.

Byron Eaton scored 15 points, Marcus Dove 13 and Kenny Cooper 11 for the Cowboys, who were limited to a seven-man rotation due to injuries. Starting guard Terrel Harris did not play after suffering a non-sports related eye injury over the weekend.
