Kendall Smith and Tavarius Shine Both Out for OSU-Arkansas

The Cowboys will take on the Razorbacks of Arkansas in Fayetteville sans two of their biggest contributors and their Nos. 2 and 3 scorers in Kendall Smith and Tavarius Shine.

Two big blows for #OKState today at Arkansas: No Kendall Smith (flu) or Tavarius Shine (left wrist). No clear expectation for Shine's return. For a team lacking depth, this hurts.

This means a that an already short-handed backcourt will be spread incredibly thin. Brandon Averrette, who usurped Smith as the starting floor general four games ago, is now the only active point guard on the roster.

As I pointed out earlier today, these two crucial to Oklahoma State’s success. Expect a lot of Lindy Waters who can fill both roles and may get some burn running the offense.
