Mike Boynton walked through the halls of Gallagher-Iba Arena on Wednesday night with his spirit intact. That’s no small thing.
His OSU basketball team is headed for a dismal season, and everyone knows it. With four departures of players in the last two weeks, the Cowboys are down to seven scholarship recruits, only six of which are ready to play in the Big 12.
Eleven days ago, OSU was 2-2 in the Big 12 and 8-8 overall. The Cowboys appeared capable of playing competitively in the conference.
But now the Cowboys are 2-5, 8-11, and they showed Wednesday night in Bedlam that not even playing well is enough.
