STILLWATER — Eight Big 12 teams will start their conference schedules Wednesday night, as the Big 12 grind starts all over again.
The conference boasts three ranked teams in the AP Top 25 with three other teams receiving votes. Oklahoma State isn’t one of those ranked teams. At 6-6, the Cowboys are ranked 86th in the country in KenPom’s adjusted efficiency margin. That’s the lowest in the Big 12.
The Cowboys did, though, go through the third-hardest nonconference schedule among Big 12 teams, according to KenPom, while OSU’s conference-opening opponent Iowa State’s noncon schedule ranked 268 in the country.
