KU hoops notes: New Oklahoma State coach wants to contend for Big 12 titles (yes, titles)

New Oklahoma State basketball coach Brad Underwood is not willing to concede Big 12 championships to Kansas.

In fact, the former Kansas State player who heads to OSU after three highly-successful seasons at Stephen F. Austin, told Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.com on Friday he believes OSU should consistently challenge KU for the top spot in the league.

“Absolutely, it should happen, it should happen,” Underwood said Friday. “We have very passionate, educated fans and when you have Mr. (Henry) Iba, you have Eddie Sutton and you have an arena (Gallagher-Iba) which to this day is the loudest arena I’ve ever been in in my life as a player and as a coach, we’ll get back to that.
