The biggest criticism about Mike Boynton in his four-year tenure is that he hasn’t won enough.
Boynton, Oklahoma State’s basketball coach, has about as good an approval rating as a coach can have despite not making an NCAA Tournament to this point. Entering Monday’s Bedlam game, Boynton has a 67-55 career record and is 29-40 in Big 12 games.
Boynton’s 42% Big 12 winning percentage spikes down the stretch, though. In his first three seasons, Boynton’s Cowboys are 9-6 in the final five games of each regular season.
The Cowboys are 2-0 this season in the final five games with games against Oklahoma, Baylor and West Virginia to play.
