Men’s Golf: The Pokes are on top of the leaderboard after day one

OSU Bullets

• Intriguing move by the OSU athletic department – now students will surround Gallagher-Iba Arena on three sides

• A Cowboy freshman golfer subbed in, tied for the low round on the day, and helped the Cowboys to the top of the leaderboard in the Stillwater Regional

• Eddie getting into the Hall really puts an exclamation mark on Hank Iba’s legacy.

Iba died in 1993 at age 88. He lived long enough to see Sutton’s return and long enough to see the OSU basketball renaissance begin, with Sutton’s 1991 Big Eight championship and a 1992 rise to No. 2 in the national polls. 

And now Iba is joined in the Hall of Fame by his two greatest protégés, Sutton and Don Haskins.

Thunder Stuff:
• Loved that OKC’s Kenrich Williams made the Luke Walton All Stars
• Two tweets comforting me about OKC’s incredibly stupid win Sunday night – one from KOC and one from Alex

Excellent breakdown of odds for the Thunder getting certain picks (will do a coinflip on 5/25 to see who gets fourth and fifth best odds)
