Marshall said it best here – “Iowa State has beaten Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Jackson State this season. I don’t think OSU will get added to that list.” Go Pokes, beat the Cyclones.  

OSU Bullets

• A five-star center decommited from a Big Ten power and the Pokes are hot on his trail – OSU needs to offer to play the Canadian national anthem at home games if they land him to pair with Moncrieffe

• Round one of men’s Bedlam basketball got bumped from Saturday, February 25th to the following Big Monday

• Something to keep an eye on today – if the Pokes can keep their turnover number in Mike Boynton’s targeted range:

“The number’s definitely too high,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said. “I’ll need to go back to the film and figure out where they’re coming from. We want to be in the 12-13 range, so we’re not in the 20s like we have been. We still want to get that number down closer to single digits.”

• Good perspective on Cowboy Basketball and their NCAA Tourney bid from ESPN+ – see where other brackets have the Pokes also here.

As a projected No. 7 seed, Mike Boynton’s team excels at forcing misses on defense and exhibits an extreme (if fast-paced) interior orientation on offense. Oklahoma State loves to get to the line.

• OSU Football is involved significantly in this ideal Big 12 football road trip

• Mike Boynton’s Pokes fell out the AP top 25

• Looking back on the Cowboy quarterback role from 2020

Non-OSU Bullets

• Gus Malzahn hired at UCF – I would love it if he replaced Gundy when he retires
• Chewing on doing this 40 day Lent challenge valuing intake (faith-based)
