Daily Bullets (Mar. 13): Projecting Where the Cowgirls Are Seeded, Pokes Ranked at the NCAAs

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• Projecting where the Cowgirls will land when the seeds are given out for the NCAA Tournament (PFB)

• Seven Cowboys were seeded in the top eight at their weights in the NCAA Tournament (OKState.com)

• The Pokes had a four-star running back on campus yesterday from the Tulsa area and while not saying where, mentioned a “commitment is coming soon” (PFB)

• Interesting to think about the chance this Cowboy Basketball team could make a postseason tournament: 

The Cowboys are now in a weird limbo. They aren’t making the NCAA Tournament, that much is certain, but playing in the NIT is still a possibility and one (Steve) Lutz is interested in.

“Yeah, we’re absolutely open to it,” Lutz said. “I think these guys deserve it. … If we can play postseason and have an opportunity to continue to fight for a championship, these guys deserve it…”

Marshall Scott went on to point out that due to the “College Basketball Crown drawing a couple of Big 12 teams and possibly declines to attend, NIT invitations may come down the line. 

• In a re-ranking of the most impactful transfers in college basketball, Javon Small was named No. 2 (247 Sports)

• Arturo Dean wrapped up an impressive defensive season earlier this week: 

Arturo Dean finished with 7 steals today and 77 on the year. That’s tied for 6th most all time in OSU single season history.

He’s one of the best ball-hawks we’ve had in a long time. I’m glad he’s got another year 🤠🏀 pic.twitter.com/Lfu0dbbdjy
