One of the biggest changes between Travis Ford and Brad Underwood can be found the night before every road game.
The Oklahoma State men’s basketball team were not in hotel rooms playing video games or watching Sportscenter on Tuesday night like they would have last year. The Cowboys were in Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, about 24 hours before they tip against TCU at 6 p.m.
The change seems almost arbitrary, remedial or blatant, but it has made a serious difference in a team that has already won four more games than it did all of last season.
