Oklahoma State wrapped up its Puerto Rican exhibition trip in style Wednesday night, beating the LBP All-Stars 100-92 at Guillermo Angulo Coliseum to finish the three-game tour unbeaten.
Jordan Burks set the tone for the Cowboys with 18 points, and his biggest burst came during the stretch that turned a tight game into OSU control. He scored 10 points during an 18-0 run that carried the Cowboys from late in the first quarter into the second.
Burks was efficient all night, going 6-of-8 from the floor and 3-of-5 from 3-point range. Jacob Walker added 14 points and six assists, while Andrija Grbovic chipped in 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including 2-of-3 from deep. Parker Robinson and Luka Bogavac each finished with 10 points.
Anthony Felesi made his presence felt on the glass, finishing with a team-high seven rebounds, five of them on the offensive end.
OSU shot 51.4% overall, assisted on 26 of its 38 made baskets and went 11 of 30 from 3-point range. The Cowboys also controlled the boards, 43-33.
The win was Oklahoma State’s third in four nights at Guillermo Angulo Coliseum. The first two came against Puerto Rico Fuerza, a select team built from players in Puerto Rico’s top professional league. Wednesday’s opponent was a younger all-star group representing the island’s youth development league.
The decisive run began when Burks threw down a transition dunk with 24 seconds left in the opening quarter to give OSU a 25-24 lead. He then opened the second quarter with back-to-back 3-pointers and followed with a putback to stretch the margin into double digits.
Felesi added an alley-oop dunk, and consecutive baskets from Walker pushed the lead to 41-24 near the middle of the quarter. Oklahoma State took a 51-40 lead into halftime.
LBP came out of the break with eight straight points to get within a possession, but Grbovic answered with two 3-pointers. The second one sparked an 8-0 Cowboys run.
When the All-Stars later cut the deficit to three, Burks scored five points in a 7-0 response that put OSU back in front 75-65.
The Cowboys put together another big push in the fourth. Kashie Natt picked off a pass and fed Felesi for an alley-oop slam that launched a 14-2 run. Robinson finished that surge with a 3-pointer that made it 90-70 with 6:05 left.
LBP scored 22 points in the final six minutes to trim the final margin.
The All-Stars shot 47.8% from the field and hit 11 of 26 from 3-point range, but they managed only five second-chance points.

Oklahoma States Most Important Camp Battle Could Decide Its Defensive Ceiling
Oklahoma States overhaul under Eric Morris has made almost every position worth watching in camp, but the defensive end room may matter most for how high this defense can climb. With nearly 90 new transfers and a unit that was largely inexperienced to begin with, the Cowboys are trying to rebuild a pass rush that never really took hold last season, when the defense spent too much time near the bottom of the Big 12 in the areas that matter most.
That is why the edge battle has become such a central storyline, with Jaleel Johnson, DeSean Brown, James Williams and Keviyan Huddleston all pushing for roles. Johnson is still trying to turn opportunity into production, Brown and Williams are in the mix for bigger snaps, and Huddleston brings the most proven rsum of the group, which makes this one of the clearest camp competitions that could shape the ceiling of the entire defense.

Arizona State Reloaded Fast And Oklahoma State Has Reason To Worry
Arizona State did not spend long basking in its Big 12 title. Kenny Dillinghams program followed that breakthrough with another winning season in 2025, then went right back to rebuilding through the portal, and the result is a roster that looks very different but still very dangerous. The Sun Devils brought in one of the nations better transfer classes, added receiver Omarion Miller to give the passing game another threat, and appear set to hand the offense to Cutter Boley after all the turnover at quarterback.
The defense is where Oklahoma State will have to pay close attention, because the Sun Devils kept a key piece in C.J. Fite and added more bodies to compete for starting jobs. Even so, the picture is still settling in the secondary, where Arizona State may not know its full 4-2-5 lineup until the week of the opener. For a team that has already shown it can reload quickly, that kind of uncertainty only makes the rest of the Big 12 a little more uneasy. [Read more 🡒]
