OSU Bullets

•  OSU issued a statement after receiving a $50,000 fine from the Big 12 for chants during last week’s BYU game – some general sentiment perceived the fine for OSU as fair (PFB + HCS) Note: in OSU’s release, fortunately, the chant wasn’t as bad (subjective statement) as previously thought, but still not ideal (X) • Tomorrow night, the Cowboys finish their Arizona road trip with a winnable game against a slumping Arizona State squad – ICYMI: the Cowboys got hammered by the top-ranked Wildcats on Saturday (PFB)

Bobby Hurley didn’t mince his words when I asked him about ASU’s defense tonight, which gave up at least 75 points for the 9th time in its 11 conference games tonight. “We stink.”@SunDevilSource pic.twitter.com/Rp7mYjcqWA

• The Big 12 is announcing some changes to the conference basketball tournament tomorrow – wild ideas at what it could be here (HCS)
