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

OSU Bullets

• What Mike Gundy (and his players) had to say about this weekend’s matchup against Texas (PFB)

• Couple of news updates: Trey Rucker was named Big 12 defensive player of the week, Cowgirl Softball’s 2024 schedule was released (PFB)

• There are some bad wins in the Longhorns’ resume but that’s about the only hole – how Texas got to Arlington (PFB)

• Berry Tramel calculates offensive and defensive efficiencies in the Big 12 – the Pokes finished the season with the No. 8 offense and the No. 5 defense. How do we account for a 7-2 finish in league play? Maybe culture leads to the bottom bullet on luck.

I know, it seems like OSU’s offense hasn’t been all that consistent. And it hasn’t been. But the Cowboys ranked ninth in offensive efficiency last season, among the 10 Big 12 teams, and OSU’s 2022 rating was .258 So this was a major bump.

[Sellout Crowd]

• Cowboy target Kobe Black has pushed his signing date back from his original date, 11/29 (247 Sports $$$)

• It’s hard to argue that the Pokes haven’t gotten by the skin of their teeth at times this year:

Accounting for postgame win expectancies, Oklahoma State has been the "luckiest" team this year. Their 9 wins is 4.2 wins above their expected win total of 4.8 this season. pic.twitter.com/KJWhuBIB9Q
