After a statement thumping of Wichita State (in Wichita) and a rout of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Brad Underwood and his Cowboys stare their Big 12 opener right in the face. Underwood has Oklahoma State’s basketball program on an upward trend and its fan base brimming with optimism. And for good reason.
The Cowboys are back to playing a fun style of basketball that’s predicated on swarming defense (third nationally in turnover percentage, at 26.1) and a fast-paced motion offense. Underwood, as was recently pointed out on our pod, has a plan.
A plan?
That was the complaint of many an OSU fan as they laboriously slaved over a Travis Ford-coached team, year after year.
