Balanced scoring attack leads OSU past Ole Miss

Newton, a junior guard, noticed there were opportunities to cut behind the defense to the rim. He did it and tied his season high – in the first half –because of it.

Just as Newton took what he saw from the Ole Miss defense in the first half, the rest of the offense followed suit. Newton didn’t score in the second half of OSU’s 82-60 win over the Rebels on Remember the 10 night in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Saturday, but a balanced effort from the offense gave the Cowboys (12-9, 3-5 Big 12) their highest scoring game in more than two months.

“I thought we just let the game come to us,” coach Mike Boynton said. “I didn’t feel like anybody really tried to force bad shots. Kinda just took the game as it came, and you see that kinda play out in the balance of the scoring.”

Students are the future of aerospace.

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Aero-Student Day welcomed hundreds of high school students and OSU aerospace experts to the Paycom center last Friday to educate students interested in a future in aerospace.

Dr. Jamey Jacob, OSU professor and Unmanned Systems Research Institute (USRI) director, spoke to students at the event about the aerospace industry.

“The future of aerospace is the youth — not only being able to fill all the roles in terms of jobs, but providing diversity in perspective and ideas,” said Jacob. “They make the impossible happen.”

Jacob said now is the time to invest in aerospace, as the U.S. is currently facing a flight crew shortage.
