Kalib Boone - Posts first double-double Boone notched 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, six blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 56-46 loss to Texas. Impact Boone had his best overall performance of the season, logging season highs in blocks and rebounds. The 6-foot-9 senior also matched his season high in minutes with starting center Moussa Cisse sidelined after going down with an ankle injury Monday versus West Virginia. However, this strong showing by Boone was for naught, as Oklahoma State was outscored 12-1 by the Longhorns over the final 6.5 minutes of the game. Boone started just four of 26 games in 2021-22, though he's risen to the occasion across 14 starts this season, averaging career highs in points (9.5), rebounds (5.8), assists (1.4) and free-throw percentage (84.6) across 24.0 minutes per contest. Boone should continue to fulfill an even bigger role if Cisse remains out against Kansas State on Tuesday.
