OSU Bullets

• March Madness is here – here are the games in chronological order and your printable bracket here. Bill Haisten talked about how rough this Selection Sunday was in Oklahoma (CBS Sports + TulsaWorld)

• OSU finally got the upper hand on UCF yesterday – the Cowboys beat the Golden Knights by six runs, the Cowgirls won by two (PFB + PFB)

• Jenni Carlson created a checklist for OSU for finding the next basketball coach (Sellout Crowd)

• The NCAA Transfer Portal opens again today – what’s expected of the Cowboys? 247’s McLain Baxley notes Javon Small and Quion Williams are expected to enter (247 Sports $$$)

• 247 Sports points out the confusion around OSU Football and how Mike Gundy “must be giddy that no one is paying attention to the Ol’ Pokes”: 

Oklahoma State advanced to the Big 12 Championship Game, defeated rival Oklahoma and won 10 games last season. The bulk of their roster returns.

And yet the Cowboys enter the spring projected by many to be a middle-of-the-pack team in the new-look conference next season. 

Huh?
