Don’t look now but Oklahoma State is just one half game behind Oklahoma and one full game behind Kansas State, the fourth placed team in the Big 12 — which just so happens to be the Cowboys’ Valentine’s Day date. A win over the Wildcats would move OSU into a tie for that No. 4 spot in the conference. Unreal.
Once solely a home winner, the Cowboys have traded hats, dropping two straight in Gallager-Iba but have taking care of Kansas and West Virginia in their houses. If the Cowboys can string together consecutive wins for the first time in two months — and first time in conference play — they will further strengthen their case for consideration come Selection Sunday.
