The Cowboys had one of their best performances of the past few years in Friday night's 78-37 win over Ole Miss in the NIT Season Tip-Off in Brooklyn, NY.

It featured a stellar performance by sophomore big man Yor Anei who finished with 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field and 4-of-4 from the free throw line. He also hauled in nine rebounds and posted four blocks.

Next on the list for the Cowboys is a Patrick Ewing led Georgetown team in Stillwater on Wed, Dec. 4. The Hoyas are 4-2 on the season and are coming off an 81-73 loss to Duke in the 2K Empire Classic. Their other loss came from Penn State in their third game of the season, but one of their wins came against Texas, 82-66 in the 2K Empire Classic.
