Happy National Pi day.

Hoops

This is great: a list of replacements for 10 Wooden Award finalists. Everybody has a replacement their team is recruiting that can fill their spot next year. Under Marcus Smart it says not possible. (ESPN)

Awesome story on why Marcus Smart wears No. 33. (NewsOK)

Marcus Smart sixth in ESPN’s final straw poll POY voting. How awesome would a matchup with Trey Burke be in the Dance? (ESPN)

Chad Ford: Although Smart is far from a finished product, if a team such as the Orlando Magic or New Orleans Hornets gets the pick, he has a great shot at going No. 1. (ESPN)

Kelly Hines on how OSU went from losing season to top 20 ranking. Love the Hunger Games reference. (Tulsa World)

Good point here by Helsley — OSU continues to improve while other teams have already peaked. (NewsOK)

Kansas loves being the bad guy. Pistol Pete reference in here that will make you mad. (Kansas City Star)

Fran Fraschilla has Smart as his fourth biggest impact player in the country. (ESPN)

Markel Brown: It’s going to be an NCAA atmosphere out there. Obviously, we don’t want to go out there and lose in the first round. They feel the same way so it’s gonna be a real tough game. (O’Colly)

Marcus Smart still not on Jason King’s POY ballot. (ESPN)

I honestly can’t keep up with all the awards. Why are there so many different POY and FOY and All-America teams? Wouldn’t it be simpler (not to mention more special) just to have one? (okstate)

Wes Lunt speaks! (Rivals)

Wes Lunt speaks again! (NewsOK)

Bob Simmons becomes the first OSU football coach to go back to coaching high school. (NewsOK)

Oklahoma State’s net big play ability last year was pretty incredible. Fire Bill Young[1. Oh, we already did?]! (ESPN)

Ubben on what Arthur Brown and Joe Randle did to improve their draft stock. (ESPN)

Other

NCAA wrestling brackets announced. OSU gets a wrestler in each weight class. (okstate)

WHOA, current OSU baseball player gets compared to “a combination of Robin Ventura and Pete Incaviglia.” He’s played 15 games! (O’Colly)

One of y’all needs to buy this. via @mattquade12 (eBay)

Good Rickie Fowler interview here. (ESPN)

Bucknell could be an issue for tourney teams. Not OSU though. (Yahoo)

You guys see the Boone Pickens tweet rolling on Rand Paul yesterday for not knowing anything? He apologized shortly thereafter claiming he was hacked. Here’s one guy’s hilarious theory.

@pokelahoma @boonepickens I like to think the tweet was real & he was pop'n off.Then one of his aides was like "um he's pro-nat gas" HACKED

Just delivered Coach Sutton's message,"Congrats to @smart_MS3 on being greatest freshman ever to play @ #okstate & that's saying something!"
