Everyone breathe. The Oklahoma State basketball program isn’t doomed.
This schedule would be difficult for a team with a lot of experience, so that’s amplified with a team with the youth OSU has. Here are the team’s OSU has played this season, sorted by their rank in KenPom’s adjusted efficiency margin (including OSU).
| School | AdjEM | Record | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Villanova | 16 | 8-2 | L |
| Houston | 36 | 8-0 | L |
| LSU | 49 | 7-2 | W |
| Minnesota | 55 | 8-2 | L |
| Oklahoma State | 64 | 4-5 | N/A |
| Charleston | 117 | 8-2 | W |
| Memphis | 118 | 5-4 | W |
| Tulsa | 122 | 7-3 | L |
| UTSA | 189 | 3-6 | W |
| Charlotte | 310 | 2-5 | L |
So yes, the Charlotte loss was a bad one.
