1st Half
Bethune-Cookman (3-9) was able to keep pace with Arizona (12-0) early on. The game was tied 10-10 with 14:45 remaining following a jumper by Quentin Heady.

As the half progressed, Arizona was able to create separation thanks to dominant rebounding and converting B-CU turnovers into points. The Wildcats collected ten offensive rebounds, leading to eight second chance points, and generated 24 points off turnovers. Arizona accumulated 21 free-throw attempts compared to just seven for Bethune-Cookman.

B-CU shot 50% from the field and 42% from three-point range but found themselves down 49-35 at halftime.

2nd Half
Arizona was scorching hot from the field in the second, shooting 70% and making all six of their three-point attempts. Brayden Burries scored 18 points in the second after scoring just two in the opening half.

B-CU shot a respectable 46.4%, but their struggles on the defensive end led to a runaway victory for Arizona, 107-71.

Oklahoma State has gotten off to an 11-1 start this season, with their only loss coming on the road to in-state rival Oklahoma. The Cowboys have picked up impressive wins over Texas A&M, Northwestern, and Grand Canyon.

The leading scorer for the Cowboys is senior Anthony Roy. The Green Bay transfer is averaging 16.2 points per game on .462/.433/.889 shooting splits. Alongside Roy, OSU deploy four other double-figure scorers as they are ranked in the top 20 nationally in scoring offense.



Monday's game will be the first ever meeting between the Wildcats and Cowboys.
