Cowboys Face Bears in Waco
Oklahoma State travels to Waco, Texas, this weekend to face the Baylor Bears on Saturday, Jan. 14, inside the Ferrell Center. Tipoff is set for 3 p.m., and the game will be televised by ESPN Regional. OSU is 11-5 overall this season and 1-1 in Big 12 Conference action after an exciting 79-77 win over Texas A&M in Stillwater on Wednesday night. Baylor lost its first game of the season Wednesday night, falling to Texas Tech in Lubbock, 79-61. The Bears did not play a non-conference schedule due to NCAA sanctions.
On Television
Saturday’s game will be broadcast live as part of the Big 12 Conference’s television package with ESPN Regional. Dave Armstrong will handle the play-by-play duties while Reid Gettys will provide expert analysis. It is the first of six ESPN Regional games for the Cowboys this season. In Oklahoma City and Stillwater, the game will be aired on KOCB TV-34. In Tulsa, the game will be on NBC affiliate KJRH Channel 2. The game will also be televised nationally as part of the ESPN FullCourt package.
Last Time Out
Freshman Terrel Harris scored a career-high 21 points, including the Cowboys’ first nine, as Oklahoma State squeaked out a 79-77 win over upstart Texas A&M Wednesday night inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. Harris hit three shots from long range in just over three minutes and finished 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point arc. OSU shot 57.1 percent as a team but allowed the Aggies to shoot 52 percent themselves. It was a defensive stand, however, that won the game for the Pokes. Acie Law, who scored a career-high 35 points against OSU, made a desperation attempt at the buzzer that missed. Mario Boggan added 16 points while Torre Johnson added 12 off the bench and JamesOn Curry scored 11. Curry hounded Law on the final attempt after Jamaal Brown and Byron Eaton attempted to defend him most of the night.
