Ivan McFarlin scored 17 points and John Lucas added 15 to lead Oklahoma State to a 96-61 win over Texas-Pan American on Monday night.
The Cowboys (7-1) shot 64 percent from the floor, outscored Texas-Pan American 50-10 in the paint and forced 20 turnovers to turn the game into a blowout.
Six Oklahoma State players scored in double figures, including Janavor Weatherspoon with 13, Tony Allen with 11 and Joey Graham and Daniel Bobik each had 10.
Ray Castillo led Texas-Pan American with 15 points. Chris Fagan added 14.
The Bronchos (3-8) had no starter taller than 6-foot-6 center Andrius Sakalys, making even the undersized Cowboys seem large in comparison. Oklahoma State easily won the battles under the basket, scoring plenty of points inside the key and outrebounding the Bronchos 35-27.
Still, Texas-Pan American pulled within 56-43 early in the second half before Oklahoma State started to pull away.
The Cowboys went on a 19-6 run over the next eight minutes to end the threat.
From there, Oklahoma State cruised to its 33rd-straight home non-conference win and 112th in its last 113.
McFarlin, named Big 12 player of the week on Monday, had a season-high four blocks.
