Following a strong showing at the 2016 Maui Invitational, the Oklahoma State Cowboys earned spot No. 25 in ESPN’s most recent College Hoops Power Rankings.

Here’s what college hoops writer Jeff Goodman had to say about the Cowboys:

“Sure, the Cowboys got blasted by UNC, but the Tar Heels are a top-five team. Jawun Evans is arguably the best guard in the country, and Okie State has knocked off UConn and Georgetown.”

The Cowboys were one of four Big 12 teams listed on ESPN’s top 25, with Kansas (No. 4), Baylor (No. 8) and Iowa State (No. 22) also in the rankings.

While these power rankings aren’t official, it’s good to see that the Pokes are being recognized on a national level. The Cowboys’ next game is this Wednesday, Nov. 30, against Rogers State at 7 p.m.
