You don’t often come away from a loss feeling better about your season than you did before the game, but that’s exactly what happened for the Cowboys today.

Oklahoma State lost to Kansas on the court Saturday. A loss that stung, not going to lie, it stung. But we are okay. We’re getting better under a first year head coach in arguably the best conference in the nation. Yes we are 0-5 in the Big 12. But 3 of those 5 loses came against teams currently ranked in the top 10. Two of those were on the road. One of those happened today, and here are my takeaways from the loss.
