STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Andrij Grbovic scored 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including five 3-pointers, and Oklahoma State coasted to a 118-68 win over Queens on Friday night.

Parker Robinson had 14 points and Julius Halaifonua added 13 for the Cowboys (2-0), who put six players in double figures en route to their sixth highest scoring game in school history.

Avantae Parker had 15 points and Nasir Mann scored 11 for the Royals (2-1).

Grbovic had four 3-pointers in a 23-2 run in the middle of the first half. Leading 10-8, Benjamin Ahmed and Grbovic combined for seven points. After a basket by the Royals, Grbovic hit from distance again. He added two more before Jacob Walker's 3 made it 33-10 at the 8:31 mark.

The Cowboys led 52-31 at the break, with Grbovic going 4 of 5 from distance for 12 points and Halaifonua scoring 10 on 4-for-5 shooting.
