Daily Bullets (Mar. 2): Beat the Longhorns, Cost of the Playoff
Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.
Scores
Baseball: Cowboys 7, Central Michigan 4
Softball: Cowgirls 4, Seattle 1 and Cowgirls 13, Drake 1
Three Thoughts
• Cowboys take on Texas in Austin at 1pm CST – this is the kind of game OSU wins after losing to Central Florida at home (PFB)
• Softball coach Kenny Gajewski noted facility renovation and OSU’s athletics renovations are way down the list compared to NIL – what a tough time to fundraise for a new facility (O’Colly)
• Chad Weiberg pointed out a bummer about expanding the playoff – missing a traditional bowl game. Seems like it would be worth it.
“That’s gonna be the other change… should you get eliminated in that game, whether it’s at this other campus or here, that’s it,” Weiberg said. “You’re done.”
Two Quotes
• Mike Gundy weighed in on the 14-team playoff concept – specifically giving the Big Ten and SEC automatic byes:

• The Cowboys are not in the top nine teams on the NCAA tourney streak – four tournaments consecutively would get them there.
These programs know what it takes to get into the Big Dance. 🏀🏆
