Inside the Numbers vs. Oregon
March 20, 2015 | Cowboy Basketball
OMAHA, Neb. - The Oklahoma State men's basketball team is in Omaha, Neb., to take on eighth-seeded Oregon in the second round of the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament tonight at 5:50 p.m. The game will air on TBS.
The Cowboys are 0-2 all-time against Oregon, and will look to avenge an NCAA Tournament loss to the Ducks the last time the teams met in 2013.
An Oklahoma State Win Over Oregon Would...
► Set up a matchup with the winner of the game between No. 1 Wisconsin and No. 16 Coastal Carolina.
► Improve the Cowboys to 2-0 against Pac-12 opponents this year. OSU previously beat Oregon State in Las Vegas on Nov. 24.
► Improve the Cowboys to 8-5 against the Pac-12's current membership since Travis Ford took over as coach in 2008. OSU has won its last two vs. Pac-12 squads, claiming a 78-73 win over Colorado in Las Vegas last season and the aforementioned win over Oregon State in Las Vegas this season.
► Mark the Cowboys' first win in the NCAA tournament since a first-round victory over Tennessee in 2009.
► Be its first over Oregon. The two teams have only met twice before, with the Ducks claiming victory both times.
► Mark the fifth time that the Cowboys have won an NCAA tournament game as the lower seed.
