NORMAN -- Mike Boynton wasn’t wearing his necktie when he walked into the postgame press conference room, and he wasn’t sure where he could find it.
It could have been lying courtside somewhere near the visitors’ bench. Maybe someone had picked it up. Boynton, the Oklahoma State men’s basketball team’s coach, had torn it off and thrown it toward the bench when officials switched a foul on Brady Manek to a flagrant on Yor Anei in the second half.
The moment symbolized the Cowboys’ vexation when they fell to Oklahoma 82-69 on Saturday afternoon at The Lloyd Noble Center.
