Three Thoughts

• I’m psyched about a Bedlam double-dip in late February – it’s like when you’re a kid and you get multiple Christmas celebrations over a weekend

• Here’s a helpful way of setting your expectations going into the Baylor game – none of the PFB guys picked the Pokes ?

• Today’ Baylor game is on – and it’s going to be Cade Cunningham against another pair of high scorers from Baylor:

Jared Butler comes in third in the league scoring 16.7 points per game and is deadly from deep. Butler leads the league nailing triples at a clip of 46 percent. He dropped 30 on the Jayhawks while knocking down 7-of-9 from beyond the arc.

MaCio Teague is no slouch himself, averaging 15.3 per game (fifth in the conference). Cowboys fans may remember the 24 he hung on OSU in Waco last year.

Two Quotes

• Here’s the big question when the Pokes take on Baylor today – are the Pokes “rusty or ready”?

“I don’t know what the impact of not being able to practice is yet,” Mike Boynton said. “The virus is one thing, but not being in your normal routine, even if you’re playing, could maybe have the effect.”

[PFB]

• Jim Knowles feels good about his cornerback room in 2021:

“We moved Jarrick (Bernard) from the nickel position. He’s been in as many games at Oklahoma State as I have. He started for two years. And then Christian Holmes is excellent and has great focus. Both of those guys are quality players, quality individuals, football guys. We’re going to be fine.”
