OSU basketball: Demuth’s absence ‘psychological,’ Boynton says

FORT WORTH, Texas — Mike Boynton believes an injury that left his Oklahoma State basketball team with six scholarship players available for the second half of Wednesday’s loss to TCU was the case of a young player still learning his body.

After playing 46 seconds in Saturday’s loss to Kansas State because of a back strain, freshman forward Duncan Demuth upped that mark to 58 seconds Wednesday. In Demuth’s minute of the floor, the Horned Frogs outscored OSU by five.

“I think he’s better,” Boynton said. “I think it may be a little more psychological now than truly physical, but we’ll continue to monitor him.
