STILLWATER — Mike Boynton would have understood if Oklahoma State fans decided to not show up Wednesday night.
His Cowboys entered their matchup with Oklahoma with a 2-4 Big 12 record and only seven recruited scholarship players. But when he walked out onto Eddie Sutton Court before tipoff of an eventual 70-61 Bedlam loss, most of the 11,086 fans in the crowd, Gallagher-Iba Arena's largest of the year, erupted in cheers.
“I talk about this program to a lot of people on a daily basis, and there are people who are really excited about what's coming,” Boynton said.
