Daily Bullets (Mar. 20): Cowgirls Land Ace Defender for Next Season, Pokes Headed to Big D

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• Cowgirl Basketball landed a pretty serious transfer within the league yesterday – you can hear the excitement in Jacie Hoyt’s comments:

“…I believe (Amari Whiting) is one of the best on-ball defenders in the Big 12, who will be a great leader for us and take us to another level defensively.” [GoPokes 247]

•   With Chi Chi Avery opting out of the NIT, the win over Wichita State Tuesday was powered by a hot start from Bryce Thompson and the hot hand of these shooters – P.S. Pokes will head to SMU this weekend for round two of the NIT: 

The guard duo of Jamyron Keller and Khalil Brantley entered Tuesday night combining to make 1.2 3-pointers a game this season, but without the Cowboys’ most prolific 3-point threat, those two picked up the slack. Keller and Brantley combined to go 6-for-7 from long range, with Keller hitting four and Brantley adding the other two. [PFB]

• Last night’s series finale against North Dakota St was canceled for the Pokes (X)

• Diving into the receiver depth chart for this fall in Stillwater (PFB)

• Helpful to read facts like this periodically to get ready for next football season:

Oklahoma State only has one 10 win season in its history that did not involve Mike Gundy. They have a total of 11 and he was the QB for 2 of them and head coach for 8 of them. https://t.co/clFRhJSSYr
