OSU forward Jonathan Laurent dunks during a men's basketball practice on Wednesday, July 17, 2019, in the practice gym of Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.
Adam Luther/O'CollyMike Boynton realized the Oklahoma State men’s basketball team would benefit from a bad practice.
Through the first two or three weeks of practicing as a group, every session went well. Coach Boynton said he then attempted to create a bad one so the Cowboys were forced to deal with challenges, but their early progress had showed him something unusual about his team.
“It’s not normal for a team to be consistently good in practice,” Boynton said.
