Marcus Smart named Big 12 POY. (PFB)

Goodness, I love conference tournament week. (Big 12 Sports)

I would not be well if we got Bedlam for the Big 12 title. (NewsOK)

Phil Forte sounds like he has no idea what’s wrong with him away from GIA: It’s something mental I just can’t think about. It’s obviously something I need to work on as I get older, but I can’t really think about that. I just have to go out there with the right mental approach. (Scout)

John Klein on what OSU’s postseason run could look like. (Tulsa World)

Ditto.

I initially thought the hype was too much on Marcus Smart. Turns out, it wasn't enough. Incredible season w/ plenty left. #okstate

Probably true.

Marcus Smart is the most competitive player Ostate has had since Tony Allen!!
