Daily Bullets (Mar 2): Cowgirls’ Good Weekend, Why Bama Will Buy Out OSU

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

OSU Bullets

• Cowgirls had a good weekend – the softball team won 12-4 over South Dakota State, and the basketball squad clinched a four-seed for next week in Kansas City (PFB + X)

• Twin 2026 (incredibly talented) OSU wrestling commits become Kentucky’s first 5x (and 6x) wrestling state champs (X)

• Berry Tramel explains why it’s so likely Alabama buys out their 2028-29 home-and-home with the Cowboys: The SEC is moving to a nine-game conference schedule and already has these folks on their schedule:

Alabama absolutely would not cancel dates with Ohio State and Notre Dame.

By 2028, Eric Morris may have restored Oklahoma State as a formidable program. If Alabama has only three nonconference games instead of four, why would it choose to play two talented opponents instead of one?

It feels like an inevitability – that Alabama will execute a buyout of its two-contract with Oklahoma State. [CBS Sports]

• The Pokes completed a home-opening series sweep of Sam Houston State yesterday, 1-0 (OKState.com)

• Cowboy Hockey took out the Sooners in a big way yesterday:

As much I’d prefer OSU be in the Southwest, this all makes more sense. An eight-team playoff with the seven-highest rated conference champions
