Bryce Thompson scored 17 points and achieved a milestone as Oklahoma State defeated Miami 80-74 on Friday afternoon in a Charleston Classic consolation game in Charleston, S.C.

Thompson made 6-of-14 shots from the floor, surpassing 1,000 points for his career at Oklahoma State (4-1), which also got 15 points from Marchelus Avery.

The Cowboys won in large part thanks to their impressive 3-point shooting (10-for-22, 45.5 percent). They will face Nevada on Sunday. The Wolf Pack edged VCU 64-61 later Friday.

Oklahoma State backup guard Arturo Dean, a Miami native, posted eight points and one steal. He led the nation in steals last season while playing for Florida International.

Miami (3-2) has lost two straight games in Charleston, failing to take a lead at any point. The Hurricanes will play VCU on Sunday.

The Hurricanes on Friday were led by Nijel Pack, who had a game-high 20 points. Brandon Johnson had a double-double for Miami with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Matthew Cleveland scored 11 points and Lynn Kidd and Paul Djobet added 10 points apiece for Miami.

Miami, which fell behind 7-0 in Thursday's loss to Drake, got behind 9-0 on Friday as Abou Ousmane scored six of his eight points.

Oklahoma State stretched its lead to 18 before settling for a 43-27 advantage at the break.

Pack led all first-half scorers with 10 points, but Miami shot just 29.6 percent from the floor, including 3-of-13 on 3-pointers (23.1).

Oklahoma State shot 48.4 percent, including 8-for-15 on 3-pointers (53.3 percent) before intermission. The Cowboys also had a 14-8 edge in paint points.

In the second half, Miami closed its 20-point deficit to 55-42 with 12:12 left.

Miami got a bit closer as two straight short jumpers by Kidd, trimming the deficit to 73-62 with 3:25 to play.

The Hurricanes cut it to 77-70 on Pack's 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining, but the Cowboys hit their free throws to close out the win.
