Five weeks ago, a winless (in conference play) Cowboy team walked into United Supermarkets Arena in west Texas resolved to win. After seeing five straight losses in close games, frustrations were mounting but wheels were turning and something good was bound to happen.
Like their neighbors in Norman had done a week before, the Cowboys were able to break 80 points with a win over a solid Texas Tech team and inject some much-needed confidence into their game.
Today the Red Raiders find themselves in a similar place as OSU did: losers of six (of their last nine) and besides a recent home win against Baylor, a haunting inability to close.
