Hoops Preview: Shorthanded Cowboys Head to Ames For a Big 12 Rematch
The shorthanded Pokes head north to Ames.
Entering the last time the Cowboys played Iowa State, nine Oklahoma State players hadn’t played in a Big 12 game. On Saturday, the Cowboys will have only nine players.
Since that first meeting Jan. 2, Mike Cunningham has parted ways with the team, and Michael Weathers, Maurice Calloo and Kentrevious Jones were dismissed this week. That leaves the Cowboys journey to Hilton with eight scholarship players (including former walk-on Trey Reeves) and freshman walk-on Luke Major.
OSU’s rematch with Iowa State came quickly, as the games are separated by only 17 days. Since their journey to Stillwater, the Cyclones have picked up impressive victories against Kansas and Texas Tech, but they have also lost to Baylor in that time. He’s a preview of the double portion of the double round robin.
