Daily Bullets (Mar. 4): Pokes Win Overtime Game in Orlando

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

OSU Bullets

• Five Thoughts from the Pokes’ 111-104 win over UCF last night – finally, a Space Game gone well for the Pokes (PFB)

• From the diamond – Pokes beat Missouri State, 8-5, and the Cowgirls beat Missouri State, 8-3 (OKState.com)  

• Like this take from 247’s McLain Baxley on what to expect from Steve Lutz next year: 

Will Oklahoma State win the Big 12 next year? Probably not, but I think you’re going to see a better product as there will be players who play defense and can score at the rate Lutz wants to. I think he’s seen what went wrong these first two years and has spent two years coaching in the Big 12 to know what he’s been missing, on and off the court, to build a competitive basketball team.  [GoPokes 247]

• The Pokes edged out Arkansas by a stroke to win the Cabo Collegiate (Clippd)

• My goodness, this is a bit of a murderer’s row of QBs on Morris’ resume: 

NEW: Oklahoma State’s Eric Morris tells @AndyAriOn3 how Drew Mestemaker’s recruitment was different compared to Mahomes, Mayfield and Mateer:

“Mahomes’ QB coach, Jeff Christensen called me. He said, ‘hey, I got the next NFL quarterback for you.’
