Taking a look at the 10 biggest wins for the Oklahoma State basketball team as they reach a season-defining stretch in the Big 12.
The Oklahoma State basketball team is currently the hottest team in the Big 12 with five straight victories, and four of which over conference opponents. They currently own a record of 15-8 (4-6 Big 12) entering their Feb. 8 matchup with the no. 6 Baylor Bears.
With the season more than halfway over, and with the most exciting parts still yet to come, it’s time to look at the ten best wins of the season so far for the Pokes.
A few things accounted for on this list include the overall quality of the opponent, the momentum shifts because of the win, and the amount won by. There are 15 games to chose from, so it may seem like a few of the wins lower on the list are insignificant. Moreover, wins against teams like the UConn Huskies and Georgetown Hoyas have lost some of their significance because those teams are having lackluster seasons by their standards.
OK State sits in a good position right now. They have the chance to notch two more conference wins to get themselves to .500 in conference play for the first time this season, against BU and the Texas Longhorns.
As a whole, it seems like the Pokes are having more fun on the court, and fans are having more fun at Gallagher-Iba Arena, than in the last few seasons. First-year head coach Brad Underwood is already making his mark and laying the foundation in Stillwater.
Now, let’s take a look at the ten biggest wins so far in the 2016-17 campaign for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
