Former Cowboy Players, Alums Remember the Ten

Sixteen years ago, Oklahoma State was dealt a crushing blow with the tragic plane crash and loss of ten players and staff members of the men’s basketball team.

Several current and former Cowboys took to social media to air out their feelings and Remember the 10.

No better place to start than with “The Voice”.

I will always remember my friends… help us keep the promise tomorrow at the @OSUMBB vs Arkansas. #rememberthe10 pic.twitter.com/k6m7iSypN8

A member of that 2000-01 team, Victor Williams knows the pain of that incident more than most.

Also significant that Saturday will be the first game Eddie Sutton attends this year. We all claim his as our own but he was a legend at Arkansas as well.

It'll be great to catch up with a basketball legend on Saturday when we play in Stillwater for the first time in 15 years.
