Scores

Men’s Basketball: UCF 77, Cowboys 71

OSU Bullets

• Pokes dropped a midweek game at home to the UCF Golden Knights (PFB) • Keep Bedlam basketball on campus (Sellout Crowd)

• Big 12 Championships are staying in Tulsa for a while (PFB)

• Notes from the recently released Cowboy Football depth chart – cornerback Korie Black and lineman Preston Wilson are both on there (247 Sports)

• Kansas’ football coach is now within a $1m of Mike Gundy (HCS)

• Tyreek Hill made the news for unfortunate/odd reasons again (CBS Sports)

• This sounds like a good deal – love that Big 12 gets two guaranteed spots:

A 14-team playoff model is being socialized that would grant 3 AQs each to Big Ten/SEC, 2 AQs each to Big 12/ACC, 1 AQ to G5 + 3 at-large, sources tell @YahooSports.

The model is not finalized & is not the only option. More discussion/vetting is expectedhttps://t.co/n5TUg76jRQ
