OSU Bullets

• Pokes took out the Iowa State Cyclones in an afternoon matinee yesterday. Best thing? The turnover-to-assist numbers.

OSU had just 13 turnovers against Iowa State. It’s the fewest the Pokes have had in a game since the 12 they put up against West Virginia on Jan. 4.

On top of that, the Cowboys eclipsed 20 assists for just the second time this season.

• OSU’s game against Baylor has been postponed – was originally scheduled for Saturday

• Seth dives into the weekend’s Cowboy Challenge

• Here’s why an NFL team should sign Chris Carson, a free agent this offseason:

Easily one of the most overlooked running backs in the NFL, a healthy Carson deserves much more notoriety than he received in his time with Seattle. But because he didn’t, he’s a fantastic value heading into free agency, and far from the age wall of 30.

• Pick Viktor Hovland to win in California this week at the Genesis Invitational – here’s why:

Winner (30-1): Hovland’s run has been mega quiet. Stealthy, even. He has four top-six finishes in his last five starts — including a win at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at the end of 2020 — and is cruising from tee to green right now (only D.J., Joaquin Niemann and Rory have been better).

• The Pokes’ win over Arkansas is aging nicely into a quality win – go Hogs:

Arkansas with a HUGE win against Florida. Razorbacks have reeled off seven straight in SEC play, and now have two wins in the last four days against NCAA tourney teams.
