For Prairie View A&M, Tai’Reon Joseph topped the scoring, finishing the game with 16 points.

Both teams faced a slow start offensively, but a three-pointer from Miller set Oklahoma State ahead at 8-3 and helped them find rhythm. At one moment, Prairie View briefly led 15-14 after a quick break and dunk by Joseph, yet that would be their last advantage.
Following a strategic timeout for the Cowboys, they unleashed a 17-3 run that shifted the game's momentum. Christian Coleman’s putback capped off the run, pushing the scoreboard to 31-18 by the end of the half, with Oklahoma State leading 46-32.

This victory marks Oklahoma State’s third consecutive win, elevating their record to 3-0. With Miller's stellar shooting and the team's commendable rebounding and defensive prowess, they seem poised for a successful season ahead.

Ultimately, the night belonged to Vyctorius Miller, whose outstanding 30-point performance underscored his emerging significance as a key player for Oklahoma State this season.
