Oklahoma State guard and projected first overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft Cade Cunningham had another epic performance on Saturday. The highly-touted 19-year-old prospect put on a show for OSU as they took down No. 7 Oklahoma in an epic 40-point performance.
Here are some highlights of Cunningham's heroics, as he led OSU to a 94-90 overtime victory against rivals Oklahoma (h/t Bleacher Report on Twitter):

Cunningham stepped it up big time in this one. Not only were his Cowboys taking on the heavily-favored Oklahoma in their interstate rivalry game, but the contest also happened to take place on Oklahoma's home floor. Talk about a clutch performance. In case you needed further proof, though, here's a clip of a Cade Cunningham game-winner from earlier in the season.
Cunningham finished the game with a career-high 40 points (on 12-of-21 from the field and 13-of-14 from the charity stripe), to go along with 11 rebounds, one assist, three steals, two blocks, and three triples in 44 minutes of action.
Cade Cunningham's stock continues to rise as he firmly establishes himself as the top prospect in the upcoming draft. He is easily the best player of his class at this point, and it would be a surprise if he does not end up as the first overall pick come the NBA Draft.
