Oklahoma State recorded 27 assists on 32 baskets in a 92-66 romp over the Colonials that served as a prep game for the Cowboys' Big 12 Conference opener on Saturday at Kansas State. It was Oklahoma State's highest assist total since recording 27 against Nebraska on Feb. 19, 2000.
Coming off a nine-day layoff, Phil Forte scored 20 points and Markel Brown added 18 for Oklahoma State (12-1). The Cowboys will enter 2014 with their highest ranking in The Associated Press poll since February 2005, when they were at No. 6.
