Scores

Three Thoughts

• A win over OU in Norman tonight could go a long way for Cowboy Basketball – preview the game here (PFB)

• If you told me Lindy Waters would hang around the NBA (just received a new contract) longer than Jawun Evans, I wouldn’t of believed you (PFB + Basketball Reference)

• Is Brandon Garrison your favorite part of watching this OSU team play?

Oklahoma State is struggling, but McDonald’s All-American big man Brandon Garrison is starting to hit his stride. He’s averaging 9.2 points and a freshman-leading 5.3 rebounds per game in league play. He’s just scratching at the surface. [GoPokes 247]

Two Quotes

• What a turnaround from the year before when explosive plays were minimal:

One Question

• If OSU could play one team in a color matchup, who would it be? Orange vs. red against Tech would be hard on the eyes. Purple vs. orange could be fun for TCU or K-State.

Every Big 12 team should have at least one color uniform vs color uniform match up every year. I love it when USC/UCLA do it. pic.twitter.com/FZl8M7ATnT

Non-OSU Bullets

• Ranking NBA players by trade value • Can you imagine skiing and seeing this? Loved this take from Kyle Porter on why he writes about golf – what a terrific aim for the rest of us to use sports for.

One of my deepest enthusiasms — I hope this is obvious — is leveraging eternally insignificant entities (like golf) to develop relational depth and helping others to do the same. [Normal Sport]
