STILLWATER, Okla. -- Four years ago, Oklahoma State dropped its Big 12 opener at West Virginia. Then last season, the Cowboys did the same again at Baylor. Yet in both cases, the Pokes roared back to enter the final weekend of the regular season with a chance to win the Big 12 title.
After losing yet another conference opener last weekend to TCU, Oklahoma State knows better than most that all is not lost with a single defeat, especially early in the year. And while they took a hit, virtually all of the team’s preseason goals -- most notably a Big 12 championship -- still remain attainable going into a trip to Texas Tech this weekend.
