The Cowboys came into Senior Day desperately needing a win to shore up their NCAA hopes. They had plenty of opportunities but let a few too many slip through their fingers.
Oklahoma State fell to No. 14 Kansas State 73-68 on Saturday inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys held an eight-point lead with 12 minutes to go, but the Wildcats got hot and the Cowboys suffered through the type of scoring drought that’s become a little too common this season.
Missed opportunities and turnovers were killers. The Cowboys’ 11 turnovers weren’t egregious, by their standard, but many of them were unforced and all were untimely, leading to 10 Kansas State points.
