Oklahoma State, Gonzaga meet after lopsided wins

Nov 27, 2008 - 9:56 AM Oklahoma State (4-0) vs. No. 10 Gonzaga (2-0) 9:00 p.m. EST

SPOKANE, Washington (Ticker) -- Tenth-ranked Gonzaga and Oklahoma State each look to remain undefeated on Thursday when they meet in the first round of the Old Spice Classic.

Gonzaga has yet to be challenged during its first two games, cruising to a pair of 30-plus point victories.

Austin Daye and Josh Heytvelt scored 15 points apiece as the Bulldogs claimed an 83-52 victory over Division II Montana State-Billings in their campaign opener.

Daye and Heytvelt were at again on November 18, scoring 16 and 15 points respectively as Gonzaga throttled Idaho, 80-46, improving to 54-2 all-time at the McCarthy Athletic Center.

Things will not be nearly as easy for the Bulldogs away from home and against Oklahoma State, which has enjoyed twice as many lopsided wins as its opening-round opponents.

The Cowboys are coming off a 91-60 romp against Grambling State on Sunday - their fourth straight win by at least 12 points.

Oklahoma State has five players averaging double figures in scoring, led by James Anderson's 19.5 points per game. Anderson is also the team's second-leading rebounder at 7.3 boards a contest, ranking just behind Obi Muonelo, who is averaging 9.0 rebounds.
