OSU Bullets

• The Pokes now have dates on the calendar for the rescheduled games against Baylor and West Virginia

• Will O’Brate Stadium do what Allie P. Did?

• Five Thoughts from the Pokes win over Texas Tech

• This was a really fun part of the Cowboys’ win over the Red Raiders – when Cade went out, the supporting cast stepped in:

But seldom-used Keylan Boone nailed an on-the-move 3-pointer from the wing to break the ice, and the game changed no less dramatically than the weather has changed in these recent crazy days. Avery Anderson took over, scoring eight straight points. Kalib Boone and Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe each nailed two foul shots, in between which Cunningham returned. OSU led 51-47 and made enough plays down the stretch to win. 

“That’s the team we have,” Anderson said. “Go out and get the job done.”

• Zac Robinson is returning as an assistant quarterbacks coach for the LA Rams

• OSU will be in the tournament unless the NCAA makes a dumb decision

• These folks with CBS have Cade Cunningham as the second best freshman in the country – with a heavy component on team success

• Commentator extraordinaire Fran Fraschilla pointed out something about Cade Cunningham that isn’t always apparent.

“The numbers on Cade really speak for themselves,” Fraschilla said. “And Jon, he’s a guy that literally could get 30 any night. He’s that good. If he needs to get 30 he could. But from the day he’s got to campus, he has been an amazing teammate.
