STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) On a day in which his Native American heritage was celebrated throughout the game, Lindy Waters scored 19 points - eight in the final three minutes - to help lead Oklahoma State to a 64-57 victory over Yale on Sunday.

Waters, a Kiowa/Cherokee Tribe member, also had five rebounds. Yor Anei added 12 points (all in the second half), seven rebounds and two blocks for Oklahoma State (4-0). Isaac Likekele contributed 11 points, six assists, five rebounds and four steals.

"I don't necessarily believe in coincidences, so it was very fitting that he was the guy, even on a night when he wasn't his best," Cowboys coach Mike Boynton said of Waters' clutch performance late. "When we really needed it, he was able to put us over the top."
