UConn beats Oklahoma State, 74-64, in Big East-Big 12 Battle for ninth consecutive victory

STORRS, Conn. — Fresh off a mesmerizing performance to win the Phil Knight Invitational Sunday night, Andre Jackson electrified the Gampel Pavilion crowd on UConn’s first offensive possession against Oklahoma State on Thursday.

Jackson, who made his first start of the season Thursday, sprinted around the right side of the Cowboys’ defense, locked eyes with point guard Tristen Newton and rose up to finish the lob, swinging around the rim.

Gampel was fired up and remained hot as Adama Sanogo powered in 10 of UConn’s first 17 points and Jordan Hawkins took over. Hawkins finished with a career-high 26 points to lead the Huskies to a 74-64 victory, their ninth straight to start the season.
