TULSA — Finishing runner-up is never a good feeling, but at least in most competition, there’s some sort of award for it. That’s not the case for Oklahoma State as it finished second to Kansas competing for the services of five-star Tulsa guard Bryce Thompson.
The Cowboys made a great push — and a staunch one. They were first to offer him all the way back in 2017, they stayed on him throughout, and they made a late surge by getting five-star Cade Cunningham to commit earlier this month. It made a decision many people expected was a done deal into a decision that required some extra thinking.
