• If you’ve been sleeping on Cowboy Basketball, here’s an update to get you up-to-speed after the win over ORU yesterday: 

ORU kept it interesting early, but the Pokes closed the first half on a 10-2 run and didn’t look back much after that.

OSU finishes its nonconference schedule at 8-3 and will host Houston to open league play on Dec. 30.
