Different sport, same Bedlam.
Oklahoma State got smoked in its first Bedlam basketball game of the season, 82-69 as Brady Manek went full Dirk Nowitzki and dropped 30 points on the Pokes, 22 of which came in the first half.
OSU struggled to keep up with Manek early in the game — much less OU — and trailed the decent-but-not-great Sooners 43-30 at halftime.
Things didn’t get worse for Mike Boynton’s squad in the second half, but they didn’t need to for OU to shoot 57 percent in the second frame, cruise to the win and deliver OSU its eighth consecutive Big 12 loss to open the season.
