OSU Bullets

• Pokes won an overtime thriller over No. 18 Texas Tech in GIA

• Scroll to pick No. 38 for some solid evaluation on Teven Jenkins in this mock draft by PFF

• With the Pokes working to fit in a game against the Baylor Bears – this makes it seem like it could be an uphill battle:

OU, OSU, West Virginia, Tech and Texas all have unscheduled games remaining against the Bears. Would the Big 12’s best teams want to take a pass on Baylor? Would they want to play Baylor to potentially pad their NCAA resume’, since just playing the unbeaten Bears would improve computer rankings?

• Just looking over the Big 12 standings, the Pokes are poised to make a run up the board with a strong finish. It’s a travesty that 12,000 more fan didn’t get to experience this in person:

• Recapping the Bedlam wrestling win over the weekend

• Cade Cunningham is up for any award possible and the Pokes are No. 21 in the Coaches Poll before last night’s win

• List of guys you’d rather have your son play for in college basketball than Mike Boynton:

…. (there are none)

• Chris Beard has just been incredibly thoughtful towards the Sutton family and Oklahoma State – with the Eddie Sutton Hall of Fame campaign stuff and so fort

Non-OSU Bullets

• John Steinbeck’s “productive inactivity”
• Ways to grow as an encourager (faith-based)
