Oklahoma State has lost four consecutive games and six of its last eight, setting up what Cowboy guard Rondel Walker deemed Friday as an “all-caps must-win” game Saturday against the rival Sooners in Round 1 of this season’s Bedlam.
Oklahoma hasn’t exactly been cruising either, as it enters the game having lost six of its last seven games.
Still, Bedlam is Bedlam. And while the stakes aren’t that high — a postseason berth isn’t possible for OSU and the NCAA Tournament doesn’t seem likely for OU — Saturday’s matchup could be crucial to one team at least finding some momentum after recent struggles.
