Daily Bullets (Mar. 31): Pokes Skid Out of Lawrence, Cowboy Alum Wins a Pro Golf Tournament

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

OSU Bullets

• Cowboy Baseball is hitting a bit of a low, swept by the Jayhawks in Lawrence over the weekend – plenty of talent to turn things around (PFB)

• Former Cowboy Eugenio Chacarra won a European tour stop over the weekend (NBC Sports)

• CBS Sports weighed in on the upcoming Big 12 football season, not the rosiest outlook for the Pokes. 

The old adage says that when Mike Gundy’s teams have no expectations, they overperform, but things have never looked more bleak under Gundy in Stillwater. OSU got blanked in conference play and then lost nearly every impact player on both sides of the ball. Replacing both coordinators is tough enough, but right now it’s unclear what players on OSU’s roster can even emerge as above average Big 12 starters. Pick: Under 5.5 [CBS Sports]

• Evaluating the odds around the Final Four and evaluating the matchups (CBS Sports)

• Fun quote from Cowboy commit Kaydin Jones talking about his dad’s experience around his son’s commitment to OSU: 

“He’s just as big a fan as anybody,” (Kaydin) Jones said of his dad (Kejuan Jones) supporting a Cowboy. “It would have been cool playing for OU, but I get to create my own legacy at OSU and he’s just as supportive.” [OKState 247]
