The Oklahoma State men's basketball team began its foreign tour on a good note, defeating Barcelona Select, 95-72 Friday afternoon.

Four players scored in double figures, led by junior Markel Brown and sophomore Le'Bryan Nash, who each had 18 points. Every player who saw the floor scored as well.

OSU put on a high-flying show, throwing down eight alley-oop dunks during the contest.

The Barcelona Select team is made up of professional basketball players from several teams in the Barcelona area. One of the players, Darryl Middleton, played collegiately for Baylor.

Nash added 10 rebounds to go with his 18 points, and highly-touted freshman Marcus Smart scored 12 points on 4-6 shooting. Sophomore Cezar Guerrero scored 10 points, had seven assists and grabbed five rebounds in just 17 minutes of play.

The Cowboys will face Barcelona Select again on Sunday evening, with the Catalonians adding an additional three to four players who are returning to the area this weekend. The game will be played at 7 p.m. (12 p.m. CST).
