Scores

MBB: Southern Illinois 70, Cowboys 68

OSU Bullets

• OSU’s starting center Joe Michalski announced he’s coming back for one more year (PFB)
• Pokes lost another basketball game last night, starting the season off at 3-5 (AP) 
• The NCAA proposed a massive overhaul to NIL (Yahoo Sports)
• OSU’s defensive coordinator from last year is reportedly accepting the head coaching job at Middle Tennessee State (AL.com)
• If you’re looking for a reason for optimism around Cowboy Basketball, Javon Small is a dude.

 East Carolina transfer Javon Small has major juice. Small has been a dynamic, net-shredder who can create off the bounce. Small is always drawing a second defender with his quick first step, and his drives have been so important in collapsing opposing defenses. He eviscerated Notre Dame for 29 points. He filled up the box score with 24 points, five rebounds and four assists in Oklahoma State’s loss to Creighton on Thursday. [247 Sports]
