The Oklahoma State basketball team will get an early test against a Penny Hardaway-coached squad. The game after that could be even more challenging.
The Cowboys will face the Memphis Tigers in their opening game of the AdvoCare Invitational on Nov. 22 in Orlando, Florida. The Thanksgiving matchup will tip at 2:30 or 3 p.m. and be televised on ESPN or ESPN2.
The other matchup on OSU's side of the bracket is reigning national champion Villanova against Canisius. Florida State-UAB and LSU-Charleston play on the other side. The Cowboys are guaranteed three games in the tournament, with one each on Nov.
