Daily Bullets (Sept. 30): Can Pokes Win 50/50 Games, BPS With an Upper Deck

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

OSU Bullets

• When looking at playoff contenders – ESPN’s Heather Dinich doesn’t know what to do with the Pokes, circles in on the defining stretch. Wouldn’t it be incredible to get a week-to-week poll of fan expectations for OSU?

The question is whether Oklahoma State can continue to defy expectations. ESPN’s FPI gives the Cowboys less than a 50% chance in three of its remaining games (Houston, K-State and Texas Tech). If they can win at least two of those, the narrative in the Big 12 will change quickly. [ESPN]

Stephon Castle says Madison Square Garden was underwhelming compared to OKC: “It was underwhelming in that first game. They made it seem like it was going to be way crazier in there. OKC was way louder than MSG.” (Via @GQMagazine, h/t @TheNBABase) pic.twitter.com/gy3ovBZ4Ni
