February 07, 2015 | Cowboy Basketball
STILLWATER - The Oklahoma State men's basketball team hosts No. 8 Kansas at 1 p.m. today in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Some notes and a head-to-head comparison in advance of the game:
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
► Mark the Cowboys' fourth over Kansas since Travis Ford took over as head coach in 2008-09. No team has beaten the Jayhawks more than three times during that span.
► Mark the 10th time that the Cowboys have beaten a team ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll in six-plus years under Travis Ford. Among OSU head coaches, only Eddie Sutton (16 in 16 years as head coach) has more wins over top-10 opponents than Ford. Henry Iba won nine over top-10 teams in the 22 years during his tenure that the Associated Press ranked teams.
► Mark the Cowboys' fifth over a team with an RPI in the top 50 and their eighth over a team with an RPI in the top 100 this season.
► Be its fourth over an opponent ranked in the top 25 of the Associated Press poll this season. The Cowboys previously beat No. 10 Texas and No. 20 Baylor in Stillwater, then went on the road to top the No. 25 Longhorns in Austin.
► Mark the 19th time that OSU has beaten an opponent ranked in the top 25 of the Associated Press poll since Travis Ford took over as head coach in 2008-09.
► Mark the third straight season and the fourth in the last six under coach Travis Ford that OSU has beaten at least three teams ranked in the Associated Press top 25 in the same season.
► Improve the Cowboys to 11-2 in Gallagher-Iba Arena this season.
► Improve OSU to 93-16 in Gallagher-Iba Arena under Travis Ford.
