Why OSU’s win against Kansas further strengthens NCAA argument

By Jeni Carlson, The Oklahoman (3/3/2018) This is a team that has faced adversity in bunches. From the FBI inquiry putting STILLWATER — Mike Boynton slapped the hallowed hardwood at Gallagher-Iba a cloud over the program before the season even started to the dismissal of a Arena, and the Oklahoma State faithful roared like days of yore. couple players who would’ve contributed to a point in late February when they were five-games below .500 in league play, the Cowboys had reason to fold. The Cowboys did, too. They didn’t. In those moments after the Cowboy coach implored the roar, his team kept extending its lead. Nineteen points. Twenty. Twenty-three. And in the process, “Certainly if you watched us play here in the last two weeks, you look out there OSU solidified its standing as a serious contender for an at-large bid in the and say, ‘Wow, this is a team that’s really good,’” Boynton said. “We don’t wow NCAA Tournament. you with a bunch of pros, but collectively, they’re a pretty good group.”

OSU 82, Kansas 64. The Cowboys showed it Saturday against a team that many bracketologists believe will be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, maybe even the overall “I’ve always felt like we were an NCAA Tournament team,” Boynton said. No. 1 seed. “Whether we’re going to get in or not, we don’t make that decision.” From the jump, OSU was better than Kansas. Way, way better. The Cowboys Ditto for yours truly, but I’ve got a suggestion for the selection committee — put shot better, moved the ball better, defended better. the Cowboys in the tournament. The Jayhawks played one of their worst games of the season, and the Cowboys Not just if they beat their Bedlam brethren in the opener of the Big 12 Tourna- had a lot to do with that. ment. Not only if they win a couple games in Kansas City. Those things would be good. It’s always better to win than lose, and that’s especially true in March. They fight. They compete. They hang tough.

But OSU is already good enough to earn a bid. That’s what the Cowboys did when Kansas cut the lead to single digits midway through the second half. Kendall Smith hit a 3; he did that a lot Saturday. Lindy Bill Self has my back on this. When asked if OSU should be a tournament team, Waters knocked down a couple free throws. Smith grabbed a defensive rebound. the Kansas coach paused a moment. Tavarius Shine got to the basket for a layup. Mitchell Solomon grabbed another defensive rebound. “How can I say this?” he mused. “We win the league by two games, and they are a lot better than us. The two times we played them, it hasn’t been close.” On and on it went.

No doubt about that. The Cowboys just kept finding ways to score points and stop the Jayhawks from doing likewise. The game at Kansas ended up being a five-point OSU win, but the Cowboys dominated throughout. And the game at OSU on Saturday afternoon, well, that Finding a way has become a calling card of these Cowboys. They don’t lay was what you might call a whoopin’. down. They don’t give up. So, if the NCAA selection committee is interested in having competitive games in its tournament, it needs to include this team. “To ask if they’re a tournament team, my answer would be an emphatic yes,” Self said. “I don’t know how it all shapes out from the metrics that people obviously “Oh, definitely,” Jayhawk star Devonte’ Graham said of the Cowboys being an study, but I would say absolutely they are.” at-large team. “They can shock a lot of people, I think.”

OSU has four wins over top-10 teams this season. No other team has more. That’s what the Cowboys did Saturday, though they’ve beat so many top-notch Oklahoma also has four top-10 wins, but the Sooners made their hay early in the teams, is it really a shock anymore? Regardless, it’s tons of fun. The students season. The Cowboys have all of their top-10 wins since Jan. 20. That means rushed the court. The players moshed at the middle. the Cowboys have played some stellar ball in the final weeks of the season. Eventually, Boynton took the microphone. Now, some might counter that they have also lost to TCU, Baylor and Kansas State on home hardwood during that time, but those three teams are NCAA “Not too long ago, people thought this program was dead,” he said. “This pro- Tournament teams. No one is debating whether those squads will be at-large gram is far from dead.” teams, so you can’t say those are bad losses for OSU. He paused as cheers rang through the arena. Losses, yes. “We are just getting started.” Bad losses, no.

And if someone wants to argue that OSU didn’t win back-to-back conference games until its two final games, fine. But they’ll also need to recognize that OSU is the only Big 12 team that didn’t play back-to-back conference home games this season.

If Big 12 Tournament Bedlam becomes NCAA play-in game, Sooners should feel luckier than Cowboys

By Guerin Emig, Tulsa World (3/4/2018) We’ve watched OU beat Kansas State and Big 12 bottom-feeder Iowa State since February. That’s it. We’ve watched the Sooners get run off the court in their STILLWATER — The NCAA Tournament selection committee can tout all the cri- past two road games, at KU and Baylor, when they should have been bent on teria it wants — RPI, BPI or Magnum PI ... team sheets, spread sheets or dryer re-establishing themselves. sheets — and nobody knows what actually happens in that room on Selection Sunday. You shouldn’t cancel all of OU’s success from the first two-thirds of the season, sure as you shouldn’t forget about all of Trae Young’s early-season splendor. About all I know for sure is the committee isn’t inviting 90 percent of the Big 12 And yet there comes a point where what you see over the last third becomes Conference to the party. more of the reality.

“I think nine teams from this league can get in,” Mike Boynton said Saturday Same goes for OSU. after his Oklahoma State Cowboys finished their season sweep of Kansas. “We’re playing our hearts out, no matter what,” Cowboys heart and soul Mitchell Sorry, Coach. I applaud you for standing up for your league. I understand it. But Solomon said Saturday. there’s no way. The conference has never sent eight, let alone nine. Another obvious point we can agree on. So let’s crunch selection committee formula, the numbers, down to something we all see plainly: Oklahoma State is the No. 8 seed at the Big 12 Tournament. At the very least, the Cowboys deserve one more shot to make their NCAA Oklahoma is No. 9. The Cowboys and Sooners play at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Tournament case, if they didn’t Saturday. If the selection committee is about to Kansas City. invite eight, but not nine, Big 12 teams, the Pokes deserve that play-in game Wednesday night in Kansas City. Winner take all? Winner to the NCAA, loser to the NIT? And if you think that’s unfair to an OU team with criteria on its side, well, you’ve “Whether or not it’s a play-in game, I don’t know,” Boynton said. “I won’t ap- seen what I have lately. That’s a break the Sooners, not the Cowboys, should proach it that way.” take.

I understand that, too. Keep winning, regardless of the opponent or the stakes, and your NCAA resume takes care of itself. Boynton said as much Saturday, right out of the Coaching 101 playbook.

He also said this: “I’ll take this team anywhere against anybody. I think we can beat anybody. I believe that. That’s just not me sticking up for my guys. I believe if we’re in the right frame of mind and we play with the type of focus we’re capable of, I don’t care where the game is or who it’s against, who the other coach is, who the other team has on their roster. I believe in these guys that much.”

And KU coach Bill Self, after getting his tail kicked by his alma mater, said: “We win the league by two games, and they are a lot better than us. They’re a lot better than us. The two times we played them, it hasn’t even been close, in my opinion.”

Something else begins to crystallize: You’re a committee member, you line up the Cowboys and Sooners, watch their tape from the past six weeks and make an either/or choice before they play Wednesday night, and you must make a choice, you’re taking the Cowboys.

Committee criteria might favor the Sooners. Better Basketball Power Index and Strength of Record, according to ESPN.com. Better strength of schedule. Better numbers, according to Ken Pomeroy and Jeff Sagarin’s math. Better KPI, whatever that means. Much better RPI, and we all know what that means.

But again, shouldn’t we get back to basics here? Isn’t it possible the only number that matters right now is 2? As in, we all have two eyes.

We’ve watched OSU go 5-4 since February and OU go 2-7.

We’ve watched OSU win at Kansas and West Virginia since February. We’ve watched the Cowboys lose by a point to Texas and defeat Iowa State in their past two road games, with their season in the balance.

Oklahoma State routs Kansas 82-64 as seniors lead the way to sweep

He smiled widely as he took the court with his father, Andy, to his right and his mother, Lisa, on his left arm as part of Oklahoma State’s senior day celebration. Ahead of Saturday’s game against Kansas, Solomon raised a framed jersey in honor of his Cowboy career, a defining photo of him diving to the floor for a loose ball serving as the backdrop.

But amid the Cowboys’ 82-64 upset of the No. 6-ranked Jayhawks, he displayed more emphatic emotions. After his first-half shot fake left Kansas’ Udoka Azubuike hanging in the air, Solomon dribbled toward the basket before unleashing a two-handed dunk. As he fell toward the floor, he un- leashed a yell and flexed, the emotions of the day, the game and its importance overwhelming him. Shortly after, the student section delivered chants of “M-V-P,” a title coach Mike Boynton has consistently assigned Solomon.

“At a school that values the things that they value, to be appreciated like I was today is really special,” Solomon said. “It’s great to be a part of the history that this school has. When we look back and everyone’s talking about the tradition we have, I’ll be part of it now, and that’s really special.”

The dunk was part of a career day for Solomon in his final regular-season game in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys (18-13 overall, 8-10 Big 12) become the first team to sweep Kansas since OSU alum Bill Self became the Jayhawks’ coach in 2003-04. It was OSU’s first sweep of Kansas since 1983, when Self played for the Cowboys and Boynton was 1-year old.

Solomon, who grew up an OSU fan in Bixby, finished with 16 points and seven rebounds to be a key figure in the upset.

“Knowing that I’m coming up on the last few games to coach that kid and what he’s about just makes it hard,” Boynton said. “There’s a kid some- where in Oklahoma that if he heard Mitchell Solomon’s story, he may be inspired.”

Behind Solomon and the other three celebrated seniors, Jeffrey Carroll, Kendall Smith and Tavarius Shine, the Cowboys kept their hopes of an at- large bid to the NCAA Tournament alive. Saturday’s victory was their sixth against a top 25 team and fourth against an opponent among the top 10.

After the emotions of the senior day festivities, Solomon and Carroll combined for OSU’s first 10 points. Smith, who scored a game-high 24 in OSU’s upset of Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse, was also celebrating his final home game and came on late in the half, hitting a jumper in the half’s final seconds to send the Cowboys into the locker room up 16.

Kansas, as it did in Lawrence clawed back, cutting the Cowboys’ lead to single digits with a flurry of 3-pointers out of the break. But Smith scored five straight points for OSU, and the Cowboys didn’t trail by fewer than 10 the rest of the way. Smith led OSU with 25 points as all four seniors finished in double digits.

In the final minute, Boynton took out each of his seniors, an ovation following each exit. One last time, the “M-V-P” chants rained down for Solomon. He couldn’t help but smile, running off the court directly into Boynton’s arms. He continued smiling, this time through tears, as OSU fans stormed Eddie Sutton Court for the third time this season.

And at 1-3 in the Big 12 with a home game against Texas next, it marked a moment where it felt like OSU’s season could turn one way or another.

Sporting News NCAA Tournament Bracket Projection

By Ryan Fagan, Sporting News (3/1/2018)

Need to know: Let’s talk about Oklahoma State’s rather fascinating resume for a minute. On one hand, the Cowboys’ RPI of 95 seems to immediately disqualify them from the bubble conversation; in 2016, Syracuse became the first at-large team with an RPI above 70 (it was 71) to ever earn an at- large bid. And 71 is a far cry from 95, right? I get that.

But other metrics at least put the Cowboys in the conversation — 60 KPI, 62 Pomeroy, 52 Sagarin, 69 BPI — and that RPI suddenly starts to look like an outlier, right? The selection committee swears RPI no longer is gospel in that room. And look at the wins the Cowboys have racked up: They won true road games in two of the toughest venues in college hoops, at Kansas (No. 1 seed this week) and at West Virginia (No. 3 seed) — the committee has consistently rewarded teams that beat good teams in true road games — and beat Florida State (No. 9 seed) in Florida (near Miami) and beat Texas Tech (No. 4 seed), Oklahoma (No. 9 seed) and Texas (No. 11 seed) at home. Yeah. That’s a collection of Ws no other bubble team can match.

And then there’s one other thing: Every single one of OSU’s 13 losses came to teams in this week’s Field of 68. Yep. Their “worst” losses were at home to Kansas State and Baylor. There’s no doubt that the Cowboys played a weak non-conference schedule (RPI 302, Pom 310), and but is that enough to sink the at-large hopes of a team with zero bad losses and an impressive collection of wins? I honestly don’t know, but I’m fascinated.

Give OSU basketball credit -- and Chris Beard did

By Berry Tramel, The Oklahoman (2/22/2018)

OSU’s 79-71 victory over Texas Tech was another wild result in a kooky Cowboy season. Win at Kansas and West Virginia. Lose by wide margins at home to Baylor, Kansas State and TCU.

But give the Cowboys credit. Their victory over Tech was not a fluke. OSU played excellent defense and shot the ball well. And Tech coach Chris Beard did just that – gave OSU credit.

When Beard was asked if this was the Red Raiders’ worst performance of the season, he wanted no part of taking away from OSU’s victory.

“I think when you say things like that, you disrespect the opponent,” Beard said. “I will tell you this: Oklahoma State played well. They took a lot of things away from us offensively. They pushed the ball and were getting transition threes. I thought they had a good crowd that was behind them tonight. I just thought it was a tough avenue to play, and we didn’t play our best. Credit the opponent: Oklahoma State.”

The winter storm held the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd to about 3,000, but the students energized the place. And Beard said that was a factor.

“I want to recognize the crowd,” Beard said. “I thought the student section here was good. We didn’t play our best, but I think you have to give Okla- homa State a lot of credit. That’s about as bad as we have been whipped at the start of the second half. So, hopefully our team will learn from it.”

OSU opened the second half in dominating fashion. Lindy Waters got a steal that led to a Kendall Smith foul shot, Tech’s Justin Gray returned the lead to the Red Raiders (37-35) and the Cowboys played their best three minutes of the season.

A Smith 3-pointer. A Waters jumper. A Jeffrey Carroll 3-pointer. A Wa- ters 3-pointer. Another Carroll 3-pointer. Five straight made shots by the Cowboys. The only miscue was an offensive foul on Mitchell Solomon. Defensive stops on every Tech possession.

The Cowboys led 49-37 and held on for the victory.

And crazy enough, OSU’s NCAA Tournament hopes live again. Not strongly. The Cowboys’ ratings percentage index (RPI) remains in the depths (96th), but OSU has at least a fighting chance of getting to 8-10 in the Big 12 and making the basketball committee consider the Cowboys.

OSU finishes at Texas, at Iowa State and home against Kansas.

If the Cowboys can play the way they played against Tech, they can make these next two weeks interesting.

“You have to give Oklahoma State credit,” Beard said. “They’re the reason we didn’t play our best game. Obviously they have two special players that have been getting it done at the Big 12 level. Tonight, their shooters were the x-factor. If you go 4-for-4 from the 3-point line, and the others guys show up, they have good players. Mike (Boynton) has done a great job with them.”

With two weeks left in regular season, Oklahoma State tries to reverse its form by getting back to basics

In order for Oklahoma State (15-12 overall, 5-9 Big 12) to get to where it wants to be, it needs to remember what can get it there.

“We’ve got one taken charge in five games,” said OSU coach Mike Boyn- ton, antsy for practice to begin. “We can’t be who we need to be to have success when we don’t guard, and our defense has been pretty poor for some time now.”

That Oklahoma State’s defense has become a fatal flaw clashes with everything Boynton has preached — both publicly and behind the scenes — since taking the helm last March. Oklahoma State’s first three days of practice at the end of September included no basketballs, a boot camp- style start to the season that was meant to hammer home the importance of good defense.

With four games left in conference play, Oklahoma State’s defense ranks last in the Big 12 in points per possession allowed, surrendering slightly more (113.6) than the defense a year ago (113.1) that was regarded as a sieve.

Those numbers have worsened in a hurry, as three of OSU’s six worst defensive performances of the season (at West Virginia, Kansas State, TCU) have occurred in the past three games.

So when OSU got back after it Monday, two days before hosting No. 6 Texas Tech (22-5, 10-4), you could bet Boynton was on his players, trying to return OSU to its identity.

“I think there’s a little bit of individual pride,” Boynton said. “I think that’s where it starts.”

Against TCU on Saturday, the breakdowns began on the perimeter and flooded the paint. TCU’s guards were able to penetrate the OSU defense at will, and they had options. They could hand it off to a teammate around the rim, kick it to Kouat Noi or Kenrich Williams for a 3 or try to score themselves.

TCU made 15 layups and dunks, shot 27 free throws and made 50 percent of its 3-pointers.

Cowboy player after player joined the list of those in foul trouble.

“Us just keeping our man in front of us and just guarding,” guard Tavarius Shine said, when asked about the defensive issues.

Defense will be paramount Wednesday because Texas Tech likely won’t let Oklahoma State score in bunches. The Red Raiders have the third-most

Mike Boynton’s challenge: Maximizing Mitchell Solomon’s minutes

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (2/16/2018) half, before he picks up a second foul, in order to have him for the final 4-5 minutes of the half. These numbers won’t jump off this page, or any other: In his last six games, Mitchell Solomon is averaging 9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. That, perhaps, could at least give Oklahoma State a psychological boost, especially if it’s the one ending the half on a run. This might: In the minutes Solomon has played for Oklahoma State, the Cow- boys technically haven’t been beaten. But it’s also imperative the other lineups Boynton employs become more pro- ductive.

But a trend has developed over those last six games, though, no matter the final Though Solomon’s offensive numbers aren’t gaudy, the team’s numbers improve result. with him.

When Solomon, the 6-foot-9 senior, is on the court, the Cowboys outscore their Said Boynton: “We get more stops and we’re better in transition.” opponents.

When he isn’t, well … see the losses to Kansas State and Baylor.

“The one thing that I do think has been a consistent factor is, Mitchell Solomon’s not on the court a lot of times when the other team goes on runs,” coach Mike Boynton said. “I know that for a fact.”

This becomes Boynton’s challenge for Saturday and beyond, then. The first-year coach must find a way to maximize Solomon’s minutes while pressing the right buttons when his top frontcourt option has to catch a breather or stay out of further foul trouble.

Oklahoma State’s past two losses have played out similarly, with the end of the first half -- while Solomon sits -- proving disastrous.

• Wednesday vs. K-State: Solomon picked up his second foul with 5:40 left and OSU trailing 20-16. As he retreated to his familiar position, watching the game while standing behind the home bench near OSU’s water cooler, K-State finished the half on a 17-4 run.

• Feb. 6 vs. Baylor: Solomon’s second foul came with 7:08 left in the half and the Cowboys leading 25-22. The Bears closed the half on a 17-5 run.

Oklahoma State finished the K-State game plus-2 with Solomon, minus-12 without him. Against Baylor, OSU was plus-3 with him, and minus-14 without him.

The trend held true even in wins: Solomon recorded a plus-16 in the 88-85 win at West Virginia, meaning the Mountaineers held a 13-point edge in the 15 minutes without him.

He was plus-9 at Kansas; OSU was minus-4 without him.

Over the six-game stretch, the one where OSU is 2-4, the Cowboys are even or better as long as Solomon is playing, and plus-38 cumulatively.

Without him: Minus-68.

So what’s the fix on Saturday? Keeping Solomon out of foul trouble would be ideal, but even then, he can’t be expected to play 40 minutes.

Boynton mentioned Friday he could try to take Solomon out earlier in the first

Oklahoma State basketball keeps NCAA hopes alive

By Berry Tramel, The Oklahoman (2/12/2018) According to KenPom.com, OSU has faced the nation’s 28th toughest schedule OSU basketball had its second straight glorious Saturday. Two straight week- and has five wins over current KenPom top-50 squads. KenPom has become ends, the Cowboys have won road games against teams ranked in the top 20. another metric respected by the committee.

OSU hasn’t pulled off that feat since the Eddie Sutton days. The Eddie Sutton Every opponent remaining on OSU’s schedule is ranked in the top 100 and four playing days. are against top-50 teams – the Cowboys finish with Kansas State in Stillwater, at TCU, Texas Tech in Stillwater, at Texas, at Iowa State and Kansas in Stillwater. It’s been 60 years, 1957-58, since the Cowboys won road games against top-20 foes in the same season. Now OSU has done in back-to-back road games. The OSU is void of a bad loss. The lowest-ranked team that has beaten the Cowboys Cowboys beat Kansas on Feb. 3, then beat West Virginia 88-85 Saturday, and is Kansas State, No. 64. this crazy season again has a new light. So the Cowboys at least have a fighting chance. A 4-2 finish would probably seal On Jan. 20, the Cowboys were 12-6. That’s the day they beat OU 83-81 in OSU into the NCAAs. At 3-3, the Cowboys likely would need a win in Kansas overtime to get to 13-6. And since then, OSU has played great on the road and City during the Big 12 Tournament. But you never know in this crazy season. poorly at home.

* A 75-70 loss at Texas Tech, which then was ranked 14th and now is ranked seventh. The Cowboys led by 12 at halftime and by 15 early in the second half.

* A 66-65 loss at Arkansas in which the Cowboys missed two shots in the paint in the final seconds.

* A 79-66 home loss to TCU in which the Cowboys were never a threat.

* An 84-79 win at Kansas in which the Cowboys basically led wire-to-wire and dominated.

* A 67-56 home loss to Baylor that mirrored the TCU game. The Cowboys never were in it.

* The 88-85 win at West Virginia in which the Cowboys hung tough, then made plays at the end.

So now OSU is 15-10 overall and 5-7 in the Big 12, and in this crazy college basketball season, the Cowboys are at least a contender to make the NCAA Tournament. If OSU goes 3-3 down the stretch and finishes 8-10 in the conference, it has a decent argument to make the 68-team field.

The way this season is shaping up, lots of Power 5 teams are hovering around the .500 mark in conference play, and the Big 12’s exalted status – slump-ridden OU remains a four-seed in the basketball committee’s preliminary rankings – gives the Cowboys some cachet.

OSU has four victories this season over teams ranked in the AP top 25 at the time – No. 19 Florida in Sunrise, Florida; No. 4 OU; No. 7 Kansas; and No. 19 West Virginia.

In the RPI (ratings percentage index, a long-time metric used by the committee), Florida State now is 45th, OU is 21st, Kansas is seventh and West Virginia is 34th. OSU 89th, so that number will have to rise for the Cowboys to get serious consideration.

OSU is one of just five teams to win two games this season against ranked teams, joining OU, Kansas, Florida and Texas A&M.

The NCAA’s official NCAA RPI report separates every team’s games into four quadrants (levels strength). OSU has four wins against Quadrant I. Only 16 teams nationally have more wins against the first quadrant, which includes top- 30 teams at home, top 50 at neutral sites and top 75 on the road.

OSU takes fight to No. 19 West Virginia

By John Lowe, Associated Press (2/10/2018) taineers joined the Big 12 in July 2012. The Cowboys also did it in 2013 when West Virginia finished a lowly 13-19. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Road games against ranked teams don’t seem to be much of a problem for coach Mike Boynton and Oklahoma State.

Kendall Smith and Cameron McGriff each scored 20 points and the Cow- boys beat another ranked team on the road, topping No. 19 West Virginia 88-85 Saturday.

“We’re fighters,” Smith said. “Every man in that locker room is a fierce competitor. We knew coming in here wasn’t going to be easy, but we believed in our coaching staff and we believed in our game plan.”

The Cowboys (15-10, 5-7 Big 12), who won at then-No. 7 Kansas last weekend, trailed by eight points with 13½ minutes left.

Jevon Carter had a career-high 33 points for West Virginia (18-7, 7-5), which has lost six of nine. Carter’s layup gave the Mountaineers a six-point lead with three minutes left.

Lindy Waters hit a 3-pointer that put the Cowboys ahead 86-85 in the final half-minute. After a missed 3-point attempt by WVU’s Beetle Bolden, Smith found an unguarded Jeffrey Carroll, who dunked for Oklahoma State to seal the win.

“I attacked and saw Lindy, who’s an unbelievable shooter and who had just made one,” Smith said. “I trusted him, gave him the ball and he made another big shot.”

The Cowboys outrebounded West Virginia 12-1 off the Mountaineers’ offensive glass in the second half.

“I thought the key to the game was that we had to limit them to one shot per possession,” Boynton said. “They are obviously one of the most physical rebounding teams in the country every year. I think we held them to one offensive rebound in the second half and that put us over the top.”

Carroll added 14 points and Waters and Mitchell Solomon both scored 10. McGriff made all 13 of his foul shots and also had nine rebounds, leaving him one board short of his first career double-double.

Esa Ahmad added 16 points and Lamont West scored 10 for West Virginia.

Even with a 75-73 victory over Trae Young and the 17th-ranked Oklahoma this week, West Virginia could fall out of the Associated Press Top 25 poll on Monday.

The Mountaineers next face TCU on Monday before heading to Lawrence to play Kansas, where they have never won.

Role player Despite the loss, Carter’s 33 points got him out of his two-game slump with West Virginia. After a combined 7-of-25 from the field against Kansas State and Oklahoma, the Mountaineers guard shot 11-of-18 from the field, his best performance since he was a perfect 5-of-5 against Radford on Dec. 20, 2016.

Party like it’s 2013 With the upset, Oklahoma State became only the second team to defeat Kansas and West Virginia on the road in the same season since the Moun-

Lisa Solomon made no such attempt to dodge pride.

“That makes you so proud as a parent, to have other people recognize how much he loves the game and how much he works for it,” she said. “Gosh, just makes me smile.”

She is less thrilled with her son playing through his injuries, though she understands. Solomon, with no intentions to play professional basketball, will undergo surgeries in the spring to trim up the torn ligament and correct the bone spurs.

Until then, with seven regular-season games remaining in his collegiate career, he’ll play. He worked too hard to make this his reality.

“It’s part of the sacrifice,” Solomon said. “I’ve achieved what I ever could have dreamed of as a little kid, coming to games and seeing the guys out on the court and realizing now that I’m living it. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I’m really here, I’m really doing this and to not take it for granted.”

Solomon’s sacrifices go beyond those of his ailing body. Even once his career is over, he’ll have another year of school. Required labs for his degree coincided with practice schedules.

Solomon will have a year as a regular student, back in those GIA seats that are too small, out of the spotlight. But he won’t mind.

It’s where he wants to be.

Redefined energy Cowboys’ key to upset, continued progress

By Nathan Ruiz, The Oklahoman (2/4/2018)

LAWRENCE, KAN. — After Oklahoma State’s biggest win of the season, after the Cowboys finally broke through on the road, after sophomore Cam McGriff’s career high in minutes led to a career day, a reporter asked whether he was tired.

“I’m fine,” McGriff said, a smile stretching across his face.

He had all the reason to be. On Tuesday, McGriff delivered a pregame message to his teammates about a need for energy, a need that became apparent in a listless loss to TCU. Come Saturday, when OSU downed seventh-ranked Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse, the Cowboys had life. McGriff scored a career-high 20 points with nine rebounds in the upset.

After a day off Wednesday, coach Mike Boynton gathered his players during Thursday’s practice. He told them he wasn’t concerned, confident they would properly grow from Tuesday’s dud. Two days after his message, the Cowboys won in Allen Fieldhouse, something only five other visiting teams have done in the past six seasons.

“We just stayed consistent in what we believed in, and that’s working hard and competing,” point guard Kendall Smith said Saturday. “Those two days of practice after we lost at home were good for us because we got to get after it. We got to compete. And we got to show that we really wanted it. We want to be a good team, and it showed.”

McGriff and Jeffrey Carroll both played the entirety of the second half, each finishing with 38 minutes. Smith and Lindy Waters put in performances of 30-plus minutes, as well. The foursome combined for 70 of OSU’s 84 points, carrying the Cowboys to a lead that held for Saturday’s final 37 minutes and 12 seconds.

OSU entered with an 0-5 road record, having led at halftime in the past four losses. Second halves have been problematic no matter the venue, with Tues- day’s flat second half against the Horned Frogs an example.

On Saturday, the Cowboys put together a complete 40-minute performance on the road for the first time.

“Really proud of my kids for showing the type of fight and competitive spirit they did today for 40 minutes,” Boynton said Saturday. “Got a locker room full of guys who always respond. We’ve been through a lot. … Our kids have been resilient through it all, so I’m really proud of them and happy for them to come out here and play the way they did.”

OSU will try to carry momentum into this upcoming week. The Cowboys host Baylor on Tuesday before visiting West Virginia on Saturday. With a 4-6 conference record, OSU is within reach of an NCAA Tournament-worthy finish.

They now know the formula. The Cowboys played with the proper energy Saturday, and it paid off.

“We knew coming in that Allen Fieldhouse was really tough,” Smith said. “Give credit to all of the guys and the coaching staff that prepared us. We came in here with the right mindset, and we came out with a victory.”

He capped the day by scoring 10 of OSU’s final 14 points, often against the ropes late in the shot clock. With each road game, Oklahoma State has inched closer to victory. The Cow- boys led at halftime against Kansas State, Baylor, Texas Tech and Arkansas, “You play college basketball,” Smith said, “and when you’re done you can say, only to eventually see those leads dissipate. ‘Oh yeah, I was at Allen Fieldhouse one time, and I hit a shot and silenced the crowd.’” On Saturday, the Cowboys took their largest road halftime lead yet, jumping to a 46-33 lead. The energy of McGriff seemed infectious, as Oklahoma State turned 13 first-half offensive rebounds into 22 second-chance points.

“We knew that we had a lot of opportunities to go to the offensive glass and get extra points,” said McGriff, who led OSU with nine rebounds.

The Cowboys took advantage of Kansas’ (18-5, 7-3) four-guard lineup on the glass, while chasing the Jayhawks off the 3-point line at the other end.

One of the top 3-point shooting teams in the country, KU was just 1-of-8 behind the arc in the first half.

But what made Saturday different — and perhaps transformative when it comes to the big picture — was how the Cowboys responded when Kansas got up off the mat.

Cam McGriff leads Oklahoma State’s 84-79 upset over No. 7 Kansas

By Nathan Ruiz, The Oklahoman (2/3/2018) Tuesday in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — From the cusp of the 3-point line, Oklahoma State soph- “It was exciting,” McGriff said, “but we have a game in two days. We have to omore Cam McGriff rushed toward the basket. In one motion, he rose from the prepare for that.” Allen Fieldhouse floor, gathered Kendall Smith’s miss and dunked.

McGriff and that play embodied the Cowboys on Saturday. They were ener- getic, aggressive and passionate for the entirety of their 84-79 victory against seventh-ranked Kansas.

McGriff finished with a career-high 20 points with nine boards as OSU rebounded and hustled its way past the Jayhawks. It was Kansas’ sixth loss at home in the past six seasons; the Cowboys (14-9 overall, 4-6 Big 12) have delivered two of them. This OSU team erased an 0-5 road record in one of college basketball’s most imposing venues.

“You need some validation sometimes to keep believing that you can do it,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said. “To get that today, in this environment, against this team and that Hall of Fame coach (Bill Self) over there and the history of this program, it’s pretty special.”

McGriff has been OSU’s best performer in recent weeks despite coming off the bench. Inserted in the starting five against a small Kansas lineup, McGriff delivered. His dunk with about 15 minutes to play helped OSU keep a stable cushion as the Jayhawks (18-5, 7-3) rallied.

“That’s who Cam is,” Boynton said. “At his core, when he’s at his best, he’s the hardest-playing guy on the court, and it’s noticeable that he’s the hardest-playing guy on the court.”

Kansas spent most of the second half unable to get closer than seven points but broke through in the final minutes to make it a three-point game.

After McGriff’s dunk, Smith took on the roll of silencer, his makes quieting the Allen Fieldhouse crowd. After a first half 3-pointer, Smith put a finger to his lips, shushing the 16,300 in attendance.

“It was one of those — you play college basketball, and when you’re done, you say, ‘Oh, yeah. I was at Allen Fieldhouse one time and hit a shot and silenced the crowd,’” Smith said.

In addition to his five assists and five rebounds, Smith finished with 24 points, none bigger than the final two. With 10 seconds to go, he sank a pair of free throws to push OSU’s lead to five, the final margin.

Smith, starting for the first time in seven games, combined with McGriff to score 16 of the Cowboys’ final 18 points. In two of OSU’s previous three conference victories, Smith delivered a key shot to force overtime.

“He’s shown that he wants to be in those moments,” Boynton said. “He wants the ball.”

OSU, jostling for an NCAA Tournament spot, needed Saturday’s game. After the final buzzer, the Cowboys gathered on the court and chest bumped one another. Compared to their last victorious visit, when Marcus Smart back- flipped on the court, the celebration was tame.

Boynton, dressed in sweats, left Lawrence by plane to go recruiting. His players will get the day off Sunday, but for a team fighting to make the postseason, the Cowboys know there is little time to rest before they face Baylor on

Cam McGriff providing energy at needed time

By Nathan Ruiz, The Oklahoman (1/31/2018)

STILLWATER — Cam McGriff forcefully two-stepped his way between a pair of Horned Frogs, driving to the rim for a one-handed slam. Soon after, Kendall Smith found McGriff on a breakaway, and the Oklahoma State sophomore delivered a two-handed dunk.

Both plays ignited Gallagher-Iba Arena in what was an otherwise lethargic 79-66 loss to TCU on Tuesday night. McGriff jolted the crowd with four emphatic blocks, as well, adding 11 points and six rebounds. For the second straight game, McGriff was arguably the Cowboys’ best player.

“I thought Cam was our best performer today, on both ends of the court, in terms of the energy that he played with or the activity level he had,” coach Mike Boynton said Tuesday. “That’s something that we can build on from a positive standpoint.”

Boynton had a similar stance after Saturday’s loss at Arkansas, where McGriff had eight points and 10 rebounds. He has recorded at least five rebounds in four straight games, coming off the bench in each.

Despite averaging the seventh-most minutes among Cowboys, McGriff has the third-most rebounds per game. On a team that hasn’t outrebounded its opponent in any of its past six conference games, McGriff could prove to be a crucial player in the back half of Big 12 play.

“I really wouldn’t call it a groove,” McGriff said after Tuesday’s defeat. “I was just trying to play as hard as I can.”

Foul trouble mixed with the deficit forced Boynton to employ a small lineup for much of Tuesday’s game. Naturally a forward, McGriff played center in a four- guard lineup, stepping up when the Cowboys needed him. He tried to do the same off the court.

Soft spoken, McGriff adopted a leadership role before Tuesday’s contest. No- ticing his team’s lack of energy, he rounded up the Cowboys and tried to ignite them.

Although OSU as a whole was sluggish Tuesday, McGriff backed up his speech with an electrifying performance.

“All I know is that we have 13 or 14 guys that have to come in and play every day,” McGriff said. “You can feel it amongst each other and I feel like I needed to step up about it.”

Boynton said he was pleased with McGriff rising to the moment, both on and off the court. The Cowboys will need another strong performance from him Satur- day, when they face No. 7 Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse.

Boynton said he believes McGriff can continue to build on his recent performances.

“It’s just a matter of Cam deciding that’s who he wants to be, embracing that junkyard dog, blue-collar mentality and doing it on a nightly basis,” Boynton said. “He’s shown signs of it. The encouraging thing right now he’s done it probably for about a week and a half to two weeks now. He’s been really active.

“We’ll need him to continue to develop.”

Only a historically fruitless offensive drought could hold Oklahoma State back from winning a game that was there for the taking. The Cowboys (13-8, 3-5 Big 12) are now 0-5 in true road games this season, despite holding second-half leads in four of them. “We had some good looks there,” Boynton said. “Even up to the last possession you get two layups.

When Averette sped down the court, a hair faster than everyone else, and con- torted his body for a layup at the halftime buzzer, the improbable was occurring — a Cowboy lineup missing two players who average more than 50 minutes per game between them was playing its best.

Then, that tortuous second half. After Yankuba Sima made a layup off a lob from Solomon to put the Cowboys ahead 49-38 with 16:29 left, Oklahoma State made just two field goals the rest of the game.

Two-of-18.

After Waters answered an Anton Beard 3-pointer with one of his own to keep OSU ahead 56-55 with 7:34 left, Oklahoma State didn’t make another shot.

Oklahoma State’s second-half struggles come mostly on defensive end

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (1/25/2018) But the defense will be tested Saturday. Arkansas averages 84.8 points per STILLWATER — Although the results have been frustrating, Oklahoma State game and ranks 19th in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency, via KenPom. basketball coach Mike Boynton has seen incremental progress. com. The Razorbacks are one of the country’s better 3-point shooting teams and rarely turn the ball over. The Cowboys fought for 20 minutes at Oklahoma on Jan. 3 before the Sooners incinerated them in the second half. They remained competitive with Kansas Said Boynton: “We have to be more disciplined on the defensive end.” State and Baylor into the second half before fading.

And against Texas Tech on Tuesday, Oklahoma State was the better team for about 28 minutes before the wheels fell off.

“We’re good enough to beat anybody,” Boynton said Thursday. “Our margin for error isn’t as great as some other teams, but if we put it together for 40 minutes we’ll feel real comfortable with the result.”

The Cowboys (13-7, 3-5 Big 12) left Lubbock, Texas, still in search of their first true road win. They’ll go for it again Saturday at Arkansas (14-6, 4-4 SEC) in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. While it’s a break from the grueling Big 12 schedule, OSU still faces a Razorbacks team that appears to be of NCAA Tournament quality, and one that should be motivated after the Cowboys dominated the meeting in Stillwater last year 99-71.

For Oklahoma State, the mantra this week has been playing a full 40 minutes — something Yankuba Sima said the coaching staff has emphasized every day since the team returned from Lubbock.

“Just putting together, we say four minutes at a time, four minutes at a time,” senior guard Jeffrey Carroll said.

Boynton said he has been trying to put his finger on OSU’s second-half woes.

In eight Big 12 games, the Cowboys have outscored their opponents by 16 points in the first half. They have been outscored by 66 in the second.

It would be easy to pin it on the road games, but the trend goes beyond venue. The Cowboys held halftime leads at home against West Virginia and Oklahoma but were outscored by double digits in the second half (eventually beating the Sooners in overtime).

If there’s one recent trend Boynton can point to, it’s the dramatic shift in rebounding from one half to the next.

Against Texas Tech, OSU held a 14-0 halftime advantage on second-chance points in the first half, but the Red Raiders outdid OSU 13-2 in the category in the second.

Similarly, Oklahoma forced overtime against Oklahoma State after grabbing 14 offensive rebounds in the second half Saturday.

Oklahoma State has been a good team on the offensive glass this season, ranking 57th in the country and fifth in league play. But its defensive rebounding percentage now ranks 283rd nationally, in large part because of the second 20 minutes.

Combined with Oklahoma State’s lack of depth and propensity for foul trouble — four Cowboys fouled out against Texas Tech — the numbers have led to a decrease in defensive efficiency in the second halves. On the offensive end, Oklahoma State’s numbers have actually stayed consistent throughout many conference games, no matter the half.

Mitchell Solomon’s steals of Trae Young lift Oklahoma State

By Berry Tramel, The Oklahoman (1/20/2018) “He went across my chest,” Young said. “You’re not allowed to do that. Can’t slide with the ball. But you’re not going to get every call on the road.” STILLWATER — Trae Young motioned for a traveling call while Mitchell Solomon had the ball on the ground and Tavarius Shine had a beat on the basket.

We made a lot of big plays towards the end of the game.” And with defeat near, the man with the most sweat equity in the program saved Starting with Solomon’s. the Cowboys.

Young recovered from a dismal first half to blitz OSU with 28 second-half points. Ten minutes into the game, OU trailed 25-6 but made the long climb back to the lead, and Young’s 3-pointers on three straight possessions gave the Sooners a 67-64 lead with 3:14 left.

With 50 seconds left, OU led 69-66 and had the ball, with Young dribbling 35 feet from the basket. But Solomon popped out off a screen to keep Young from penetrating. Solomon’s immediate work finished, he headed back inside, but not before taking a swipe at the ball. He flicked it away from Young and into the backcourt. Solomon and Young gave chase, and blue collar beat blueblood to the ball, with a dive. Solomon slid like an Olympic bobsledder — five, six, seven feet — and finally flipped the ball to Shine.

Solomon’s play set up all the later theatrics. Kendall Smith’s tying 3-pointer with 12 seconds left. Overtime 3-pointers by Shine and Smith. Young’s missed shots on the final three OU possessions, each time with the Sooners down by two.

A total gutty victory by the Cowboys, desperately needing to pad their resume’ for NCAA Tournament consideration, and a demoralizing loss for the Sooners, whose Big 12 championship hopes quickly are withering. Young had the most points ever by a Gallagher-Iba Arena visitor (Colorado’s Donnie Boyce had scored 46 points in 1993-94). But Solomon’s steal gave the Cowboys hope when defeat was near.

“I guess it’s a good thing I was sweating a bunch,” Solomon said. “So I was able to slide a bunch. Guess I didn’t realize how far I slid.”

Young claimed foul, first saying he was fouled and then saying Solomon traveled.

Kendall Smith clutch as Cowboys win Bedlam in overtime

By Nathan Ruiz, The Oklahoman (1/20/2018)

STILLWATER — The last time Kendall Smith took the court against Oklahoma, he didn’t fully understand the significance of the matchup.

As a graduate transfer from Cal State-Northridge, he had little knowledge of Oklahoma State’s rivalry with the Sooners. By Saturday, when Smith fired a game-tying 3-pointer to ignite a sold-out Gallagher-Iba Arena and spark the Cowboys to an 83-81 overtime victory, he knew what Bedlam meant.

“I didn’t have a passion or a real dislike for the other university,” Smith said. “Obviously, we respect them at a very high level. After that game (a 109-89 loss in Norman), seeing how the game went and being able to come back and play in Gallagher, I just think I had another level in passion. The rivalry was kind of instilled in me.”

With No. 4 OU leading 73-70 in regulation’s final seconds, Smith dribbled toward the right of the key. OU star freshman Trae Young tried to foul him, swiping and whiffing.

Young’s decision provided Smith an opportunity, one OSU coach Mike Boynton was confident he would take advantage of.

“He is, in a lot of ways, the epitome of what our team is,” Boynton said. “... I felt 100 percent confidence in him not being afraid of that moment. You never know if a kid is gonna make a shot or not. But I knew he wanted the ball. I knew he wanted the opportunity to go make a play, and he made a big one for us.”

Young finished with 48 points, but he was the only one of the Sooners (14-4 overall, 4-3 Big 12) to score in double-digits. His two attempts at game-winners, one each at the ends of regulation and overtime, came up short.

The Cowboys (13-6, 3-4) came out aggressively, building a 25-6 advantage. The Cowboys took a 42-30 lead into the locker room after Smith capped the half with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. But Young scored 28 second-half points as the teams exchanged the lead eight times.

Smith finished with 20 points, behind only Jeffrey Carroll’s 23 for the most by a Cowboy. They combined for seven of OSU’s 10 overtime points, and both held the responsibility of guarding Young on the game’s final possession. Young’s deep heave failed to connect, and a throng of students stormed the court.

Carroll, a fifth-year senior, said Saturday might have been the most memorable home game of his career. Boynton addressed the crowd, thanking them for their impact.

An assistant on Brad Underwood’s staff last season, Boynton has gone from unknown to having downed the No. 4 team in the country.

“When we went to overtime was the first time I kind of just looked and took it all in, like, ‘This is pretty cool,’” Boynton said. “Twelve months prior to now, I’m not sure three people in this room knew who I was. From where I’ve come from, for people to embrace me and these kids to fight the way they do makes me feel really proud.”

At times on Saturday, Oklahoma State looked more than pretty good.

For the first 10 minutes, the Cowboys were impenetrable.

Shine hounded Young, who made his first shot 107 seconds into the game before a nearly nine-minute dry spell. His drought was emblematic of his team’s struggles.

The Cowboys rode to a 25-6 lead on the back of Carroll and the defense. Until Young broke a 16-0 OSU run with a layup with 9:40 left in the first half, the Soon- ers only saw the ball go in the basket once. Of OU’s first six points, four came on a pair of goaltending calls.

You knew Oklahoma wouldn’t be held down forever, and the Sooners weren’t. After OSU went into the break with a 42-30 lead, Oklahoma started the second half on a 26-11 run, taking its first lead on a 3-pointer by Young that made it

How Lindy Waters has mastered the art of taking a charge -- a skill that helped Oklahoma State edge Texas Saturday

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (1/15/2018) Waters’ stingy defense and willingness to sacrifice his body is exactly what Boynton is trying to instill into the Oklahoma State program. STILLWATER — When Lindy Waters walked out of the Oklahoma State huddle and onto the court with 40 seconds left on Saturday, he had a lot on After the Cowboys lost to Kansas State on Wednesday, one of the stats his mind. Boynton used to emphasize OSU’s lack of passion was the fact the Cowboys did not take a single charge. Oklahoma State’s defense intends He thought about the question Mitchell Solomon posed to his teammates in to take opponents out of their offense, which often leads to dribble-drive that timeout, as the Cowboys trailed 64-63. Solomon asked and preached, situations. “who’s going to make the big play?” Many times, a driving player has his head down. He thought about the film session on Texas with the coaching staff, and coach Mike Boynton’s message that when the Longhorns need a big shot, Waters said taking charges is always one of Oklahoma State’s pregame point guard Matt Coleman will take it. goals, sometimes aiming for as many as four or five.

And he thought about what he would do if — and when — he was faced “If we want to win, we’ve got to be a team that gets every loose ball,” with a crucial decision: Would he leave his man (Dylan Osetkowski) to help Boynton said. “We’ve got to be a team that takes multiple charges, or at a teammate in need? least wins them.”

“I just left him and did what I practice,” Waters said. “I took a charge.” Waters’ charge Saturday was the second time this season an offensive foul late helped give Oklahoma State the win. Solomon — the one who pushed Coleman beat OSU point guard Brandon Averette and came barreling down his teammates to make a winning play late after he fouled out against the lane. But Waters recognized the play’s development quickly and got into Texas — absorbed a charge in the final seconds of OSU’s one-point win position. When the two collided and the officials signaled an offensive foul against Florida State. on Coleman, the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd exploded and Waters and his teammates celebrated on the court. Averette said Waters’ play on Saturday saved him, because Coleman had gotten past the OSU point guard and had a path to the basket. Less than a minute later, Oklahoma State won, 65-64. No play was bigger than Waters’. Though the Cowboys still had to find a way to score at the end, it also probably saved the game. For an OSU (12-5, 2-3 Big 12) team that heads to Baylor (11-6, 1-4) Monday at 8 p.m., the fact it was Waters absorbing that charge was nothing “It’s a really demoralizing play for the other team no matter what time of the new. game,” Waters said, “whether it’s right after tip or it’s the end of the game.”

The OSU sophomore has taken 11 charges in 16 games — the most of any Cowboy and a number that quite possibly would make a national leader- board, if there were such a thing.

In Oklahoma State’s win against Florida State in December, Waters took two charges in a 25-second span.

Taking a charge is a skill not all players possess, but it’s one Waters says comes naturally. The 6-foot-6 guard can remember taking charges as far back as the third grade.

The keys to being a magnet for offensive fouls? Preparation, instincts and a love of contact.

“It starts right when their possession starts,” Waters said. “Right when they get the ball, you’ve just got to know where to be at all times. I’ve always been a help-first defense type of guy.”

Waters played football growing up, so he said he actually enjoys the contact that comes with holding your ground in front of a driving opponent.

He also said that for his skillset, it’s the best option.

“It’s easy, but it just takes — you have to have the right mindset,” Waters said. “Because I’m not the most athletic. I’m not Mohamed Bamba. I can’t block shots while standing on the floor.”

Brandon Averette bringing OSU a spark with his effort

By Scott Wright, The Oklahoman (1/15/2018) Boynton said. “For our guys to talk to them and hear some of the same things, knowing the success they had wearing those jerseys was a big deal. STILLWATER — Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton was an assistant coach under Brad Underwood at Stephen F. Austin when Boynton first “Like a parent, sometimes you tell your kids something, and then someone started recruiting Brandon Averette. else says it to them and they start listening ... Sometimes, someone else saying the same things gives it a little more validation. I think those guys, That’s when Boynton began hearing the stories about the point guard from because of the success they had here, specifically here at Oklahoma State, Richardson, Texas. resonated a little bit more with them.”

“If you talk to people in the area he grew up in, they’ll tell you, he’s got legendary status in terms of a guy who just outworks people,” Boynton said. “He’s always had tremendous work ethic.

The 5-foot-11 sophomore point guard is a spark plug of energy, which is a big reason why he found himself in the starting lineup for the first time all season on Saturday against Texas.

He was one of the only bright spots in an otherwise uninspired loss at Kansas State last week.

And his effort — whether he starts or comes off the bench — will be vital to the Cowboys on Monday night at Baylor, a game that tips off at 8 on ESPNU.

Averette is particularly important on defense, which was valuable in guarding Texas’ Matt Coleman. And his defensive toughness permeates through the team.

“My energy came from him,” OSU guard Tavarius Shine said, pointing to Averette during Saturday’s postgame news conference. “He was up on the ball, so when I see him getting all up on the ballhandler, that gives me the energy to lock down my guy over on the wing.”

Whether he’s starting or coming off the bench, Averette feels it’s part of his job to be a defensive leader.

“I just try to set the tone,” Averette said. “The point guard position, you set the tone defensively by pressuring the ball, so that’s what I try to do.”

Effort has never been a question mark when it came to Averette.

“No one in our program works harder. Nobody,” Boynton said. “Nobody spends more time in the gym working on their game than Brandon Averette does.

“It’s the reason he has success. There’s no secrets in this thing. In basketball or life, you get out of it what you put in. And it’s something he had long before he came here.”

The team had a few visitors from different eras of OSU basketball over the weekend who provided a needed message about Cowboy basketball, Boynton said.

Former Cowboys Joey Graham, Byron Eaton and Jamaal Brown visited with the team at different times before the Texas game.

“Having those guys around as I continue to preach what this program means and what it’s about, and to have those guys who lived it and did it the way I like to hope to be able to do it — with toughness, with defense, unselfishness and discipline — really kind of validated it for our guys,”

Cowboys, Longhorns do themselves, Big 12 proud with their basketball and fraternity

“It says a lot about Mike (Boynton) and his staff and their team,” Smart said. “They gave us a ball to give to Andrew with personalized messages from each guy. It really means a lot when other teams show that they care about Andrew.”

In the past few days, Big 12 coaches like Self, Scott Drew and Bob Huggins had offered public support. Huggins, whom we often view as more cactus than daisy, posted a message reading: “I believe I speak for everyone when I say to Andrew, along with his family and the Texas Men’s Basketball program, you are in our prayers and we are here if you need anything. Basketball is just a game — family, blood or not, overshadows everything.”

OSU picked up on that Saturday.

“Even as a competitor, you always think about having compassion for people,” Boynton said. “Even though we wanted to win today, our thoughts were still with Andrew and his battle.”

That went for Shine, in particular.

“It’s very important. I know Andrew personally,” he said. “We went to the same high school (MacArthur in Irving, Texas). I’ve seen him grow from not being known in basketball to being a McDonald’s All-American to, basically, being an NBA draft pick.”

Jones is talented enough to have considered turning pro after his freshman season last year. He returned to Austin to build on that, and was averaging 13.5 points after his last game at Iowa State on New Year’s Day.

The Longhorns missed him in their next game at Baylor, then won in his honor

Oklahoma State rallies from 12 down late to beat Texas 65-64

By Scott Wright, The Oklahoman (1/13/2018) simple, no matter what it takes.

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State junior Yankuba Sima’s hands were there. “Our kids kept believing. They fought. They competed with the type of fight Cowboy teammate Tavarius Shine had one up there, too. And Texas’ Dylan that you have to in this league every single night.” Osetkowski’s fingertips were in the mix.

No one is exactly sure who tipped in Oklahoma State’s game-winning basket with 6 seconds to go, but all the Cowboys really cared about was the 65-64 win Saturday evening at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

OSU trailed by 12 with 5:55 to play and went on a 13-0 run to take a 63-62 lead with 3:12 to go. Texas went back in front with 1:50 left.

OSU sophomore Lindy Waters III drew a charging foul to get the ball back for the Cowboys with 23 seconds on the clock.

After Jeffrey Carroll’s driving layup went long, Sima scrambled for the offensive rebound, but his putback came up short. That’s when anyone with a hand in the area reached for the ball, with someone — Tavarius Shine got the points from the official scorer — tipping it in.

“I’m gonna take half credit,” Shine said. “I know I touched the ball, but (Sima) is 7-foot, and he said he touched the ball, so I’m gonna just take half credit.”

And what about Osetkowski?

“He can get some of it, too,” Shine said, feeling generous after an emotionally draining victory.

The crazy final basket aside, the Cowboys (12-5, 2-3 Big 12) showed the type of gritty performance coach Mike Boynton strongly felt was missing in last Wednesday’s loss at Kansas State.

“The team was full of guts today,” Boynton said, jokingly referencing his description of the K-State loss as gutless. “They played with an unbelievable amount of energy and emotion and toughness. I don’t really know how we won the game, and I’ll find out when I watch the film.”

Carroll had 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting. He had a three-point play that started the 13-0 run, and another bucket later. Boynton credited Carroll’s drive to the basket for setting up the winning tip-in.

“Jeff Carroll made the play happen,” the coach said. “He drove the ball aggressively enough to create some confusion around the basket.”

Sophomore point guard Brandon Averette had 11 points, making his first start of the season. And Waters added 10 points, plus a team-high three assists.

The Cowboys have trailed late in both of their Big 12 victories in a conference that is quickly gaining a reputation for its nail-biting finishes this season.

Though his team trailed by eight or more for much of the second half, Boyn- ton found in his players the fight they needed to pull it off.

“Every timeout, the message was, we’re gonna win the game. It wasn’t, ‘what’s going on, why are we down this many, how much time is left?’” Boynton said. “It was, ‘there is time left and we’re gonna win.’ It’s really that

Oklahoma State starting to adopt Boynton’s fighter mentality

By Scott Wright, The Oklahoman (1/9/2018) there with you. I think, collectively, we’re starting to buy into that, starting to understand it. And to win, it validates that, so hopefully it’s something we can STILLWATER — Mike Boynton thinks his team might be starting to take on some build on moving forward.” of his personality.

And if he’s right, that could serve the Cowboys well through their increasingly tougher Big 12 schedule.

Boynton, in his first year coaching the OSU men’s basketball team, is a grinder, a fighter — qualities he learned growing up as a young basketball player in New York, then put to use to help him climb the ladder in college coaching.

Now, his basketball players seem to be finding those qualities in themselves.

As the Cowboys head to Kansas State for a 7 p.m. tipoff Wednesday at Bram- lage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kansas, they can use any grit they can muster.

The Cowboys were projected as the bottom-feeder of the Big 12, but have shown more life than many outsiders expected. But wins in the Big 12 aren’t easy, regardless of the competition, something the Cowboys learned in their overtime nail-biter against Iowa State last Saturday.

After his Cowboys let Iowa State go on a 16-0 run late in the first half, Boynton lit into his players in the halftime locker room — admitting it was the first time his team had seen him so animated.

And they responded to pull out the 96-87 victory in overtime.

“It wasn’t the halftime speech,” Boynton said. “Those kids won the game. They banded together and competed as hard as they could for 25 minutes. That’s what won.

“They just kept fighting, and that’s who we have to be. That’s who I am, so maybe they’re starting to take on my personality a little bit in that regard. I continue to preach that message to just be a fighter.”

It helps that Boynton has players who come by some of those qualities naturally.

Boynton continues to call Mitchell Solomon the team’s MVP because of his hard- work mentality and ability to breathe that desire into his teammates.

The Cowboys’ offensive stars, like Jeffrey Carroll and Tavarius Shine, maintain team-first attitudes. Graduate transfer Kendall Smith is working to find the best ways for him to lead the team at point guard.

“Every single play is competitive,” said Smith, who transferred from Cal State Northridge. “You can’t take plays off. And when you’re a leader on the team, you’ve got to come out and prove that every single night.”

Starting Wednesday at Kansas State, the Cowboys play three straight games against unranked opponents — with a home game against Texas on Saturday and a trip to Baylor next Monday — before back-to-back games against top-10 teams Oklahoma and Texas Tech.

So the next week could be an important one for building momentum.

“Winning is really hard,” Boynton said. “You just have to figure it out as you go.

“It’s about making competitive plays, being tough and having togetherness that you can look to your right and left and feel good about the guys who are out

With clutch plays from Kendall Smith and Jeffrey Carroll, Cowboys come from behind for much-needed win over Iowa State

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (1/7/2018) — had gone off to put OSU in a dire position. Once again, Oklahoma State found itself prone to cold stretches on offense, with only five 3-pointers in STILLWATER — On Friday, a day before Oklahoma State played as critical the first 36 minutes. a game as one can in the first week of January, Kendall Smith decided to play some clips of the point guard he replaced. But OSU began to scratch and crawl. Brandon Averette knocked down a jump shot and, helped by a silly foul from Lindell Wigginton, turned it into a Smith, the graduate transfer from Antioch, California, observed how Jawun three-point play to cut the deficit to five. Evans — now a Los Angeles Clipper — pushed the tempo nearly every time he touched the basketball. The former OSU guard was relentless. On the other end, Lindy Waters cleanly blocked a Wigginton shot attempt And Smith’s film session was strategic. Some of Evans’ best performances from behind. Mitchell Solomon (14 points, nine rebounds, four assists) came against the Iowa State team Smith would see Saturday. located Smith running across the baseline for a fallaway jumper to make it a three-point game. The Cowboys trailed by two in the final seconds of regulation when perhaps the film study permeated Smith’s subconscious. After an Iowa State missed Then Solomon stuffed a Zoran Talley shot attempt and Smith fed Carroll for free throw, Smith caught an outlet pass from Jeffrey Carroll and worked his a reverse layup in transition. In just 67 seconds, a seven-point deficit was way up the right side of the court. Then, without hesitating, he crisscrossed down to one. the floor before driving hard down the lane toward the basket. ”We just found it,” Smith said. “Coach really got on us at halftime. He got on His right-handed runner with 4.3 seconds left forced overtime and gave the us. So, the whole second half, we came out with a sense of urgency.” Cowboys a new lease to take down the Cyclones 96-87 in front of 5,568 in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Smith forced a 79-all tie with his layup late and, in overtime, the Cowboys dominated. After Iowa State began the OT with back-to-back baskets, OSU OSU trailed by eight points with 3:32 in the second half before outscoring ended the game on a 17-4 run. Iowa State 28-11 in the final minutes of regulation and overtime. Carroll became the key in overtime, finishing a tip-in dunk to give OSU an Two seniors — Smith and Carroll — led the charge, combining for 18 of 84-83 lead and later knocking down a 3-pointer to make it 87-85. On the those 28 points. Carroll led the Cowboys with 24. Smith’s season-high 20 defensive end, Tavarius Shine locked down Jackson down the stretch. He points were an immense response to two lackluster games to open Big 12 didn’t attempt a 3-pointer over the final 11:52 of game time. play. The result: For the first time in 2018, a feeling of rejuvenation around this The win, coach Mike Boynton’s first in the Big 12, was Oklahoma State’s OSU team — with a chance to suddenly get back to .500 in the Big 12 (11-4, 1-2 Big 12) first against the Cyclones (9-5, 0-3) in 11 tries in a game against Kansas State on Wednesday. that determined which team would be in the conference’s cellar after three legs. “I think the lesson is winning’s really hard and you just have to figure it out as you go,” Boynton said. “The game plans kind of get thrown out of the It was a topsy-turvy affair in which OSU bolted to a 14-point first-half lead, window in these types of games. It’s really about making competitive plays, only to find itself trailing by two at the break when Iowa State went on a being tough.” 17-0 run.

After a passionate halftime message from Boynton, Oklahoma State responded with fervor in the second half and never quit.

“I’m extremely proud of our guys for finding a way to keep standing in there,” Boynton said. “We got knocked in the chin a few times and kept throwing punches back, which was a great sign of encouragement for me, especially coming off the way we played the other day.”

The Cowboys bounced back from an 0-6 start in Big 12 play last season to reach the NCAA Tournament, so no loss would be a death knell for this team.

But with waning support in the arena — the announced attendance was a drop-off of 2,689 from the West Virginia game eight days before — and a team that just allowed 109 points to rival Oklahoma, there seemed to be a feeling of desperation around Saturday’s game.

So when, after OSU once led 28-14, the Cowboys trailed 76-68 with 3:32 left, exasperation filled the air.

Once again, another guard — this time Donovan Jackson with 30 points

OSU’s Thomas Dziagwa could be a valuable offensive weapon as a reliable outside shooter

By Scott Wright, The Oklahoman (1/6/2018)

STILLWATER — Thomas Dziagwa says he’s ready to do whatever Oklaho- ma State basketball coach Mike Boynton needs of him.

“If my number’s called, I step up and do what I do,” Dziagwa said. “If they need me to be the biggest cheerleader, I’ll be the biggest cheerleader. If they need me to sweep the floor, I’ll sweep the floor. Whatever the team needs. I’m here just to win.”

If he keeps shooting like he did on Wednesday — and like he was early in the season — the Cowboys won’t need his janitorial services.

They’ll need him to score.

Dziagwa hit five of his 10 3-point tries in Wednesday’s loss at No. 7 Okla- homa and led the team with 19 points.

With Jeffrey Carroll and Tavarius Shine regularly providing offensive punch, Dziagwa can be a vital weapon for the Cowboys off the bench throughout Big 12 play, which continues with Saturday’s 3 p.m. game against Iowa State at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Dziagwa, a 6-foot-4 sophomore, is shooting 41.9 percent from 3-point range this season and 42.5 percent for his career.

“That’s what Thomas does,” Boynton said. “He’s been in a little bit of a slump, but I’ve always said that I think, over time, guys’ numbers are going to be what they are. He’s a really good shooter, and he shot the ball with a sense of confidence (Wednesday).”

Dziagwa started the season on fire, hitting 23 of his first 41 shots from deep. But then he hit the slump Boynton was talking about, making three of 23 attempts over a six-game span before the OU game.

“It was good to see him see the ball go in the basket,” Boynton said. “We need him for our team to be as good as we can be. He gives us another offensive weapon.”

Overall, the Cowboys have learned a lot in their 0-2 start to Big 12 play, with losses to top-10 teams West Virginia and OU, which should benefit them the rest of the way. With the strength of the Big 12 overall, and OSU’s solid nonconference schedule, a few key wins in the coming weeks could elevate the Cowboys into the NCAA Tournament discussion.

“We’ve got to be a lot tougher, have to be sharper,” Dziagwa said. “We have to stick to what we do. Can’t stop playing defense. Just got to stick to the game plan.”

So on Valentine’s Day 2017, when Shine awoke in Oklahoma City following a proce- dure to fix the herniated disk that caused him nearly two years of discomfort, a rather When he woke up, his eyes were blurry.

He sat up in bed and could finally sit with his legs straight, perpendicular to his torso. “I really didn’t have too much concern after I got the surgery,” he said. “Before the surgery, you have all types of concerns. You don’t know how it’s going to go. But “It had got to the point where I couldn’t do it,” said Shine, the Oklahoma State junior. “It ever since the day I actually had the surgery and I felt good, I was just waiting (to be was too much pain, it was too tight, all types of things.” cleared).”

Thus marked the beginning of Shine’s second life at OSU. One month later, the OSU basketball program was stunned by the departure of Brad Underwood to Illinois. Eleven months since the surgery, Shine is one of the Big 12’s best stories. The 6-foot-6 guard entered the summer with no role, no certainty of playing time — and no Boynton got the promotion. But for a player who only appeared in six games and guarantee he would be the athlete and shooter he showed flashes of before missing played 104 total minutes last year, that didn’t mean much. most of last season. Now, as Oklahoma State (10-4, 0-2 Big 12) prepares to host Iowa State on Saturday, he is the Cowboys’ most consistent scoring threat. At the start of the summer, Boynton and Shine sat down to talk.

After halftime, OSU missed on eight free throw attempts.

Considering that OSU entered as the No. 3 team nationally on free throws – having converted on 80.5 percent of its attempts — the Friday performance was unexpectedly awful. The Cowboys misfired on eight second-half foul shots.

Boynton will remember this game because it was his first Big 12 date as a head coach, but he can’t afford to let it haunt him. Most games in this league will resemble the grind of West Virginia-OSU.

The Cowboys’ next assignment, on Wednesday, is Bedlam in Norman.

When Bedlam was mentioned during his postgame news conference, Boynton wouldn’t refer to OSU’s next opponent specifically as Oklahoma or OU or the Sooners.

Instead, this was this response – that OSU’s next opponent is “the other school in the state.”

And then there was a salute to Sooner freshman Trae Young: “That team will be ready to play,” Boynton said. “They’ve got the hottest dude in the country.”‘

During the West Virginia-OSU postgame handshake line, Huggins and Boynton seemed to have a nice exchange.

“(The Cowboys) played really hard, and conceptually, they do some really good stuff,” Huggins said. “I told (Boynton) that he’s doing a heck of a job. I watched them on tape and they’re good. He puts people in position to (succeed).”

In his 33rd season as a major-college head coach, Huggins still savors any road win – and especially one in the Big 12.

Cowboys getting the old Jeffrey Carroll back just in time for Big 12 play

By Kendrick Marshall, Tulsa World (12/27/2017)

STILLWATER -- Oklahoma State will head into its Big 12 opener against No. 7 West Virginia on Friday with a different Jeffrey Carroll in tow.

Carroll has been the best version of himself lately, averaging 19.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game while shooting 40.9 percent from the 3-point line since being inserted into the starting lineup.

In the six games before that -- a period that included him being forced to sit out OSU’s first three games while the basketball program was under a mandated review by the NCAA -- Carroll, who was pegged in the preseason as a first-team All-Big 12 selection, averaged 12.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and shot an uncharacteristic 22 percent on 3-pointers.

Carroll accepted his role as a reserve those first six games at the suggestion of head coach Mike Boynton, who didn’t want to immediately disrupt the rotation with the three-guard lineup that featured Tavarius Shine, Kend- all Smith and Lindy Waters.

“He’s a guy who probably expected to start,” said Boynton. “Not having him at the beginning of the year affected that a little bit. The guys who play his position who started the season played well, so we stuck with that for a while.”

Carroll’s performances were inconsistent once he was cleared to return to the team. There was the 29-point outing against Pittsburgh at the Legends Classic in Brooklyn before he bottoming out with a disappointing 3-point, 1-of-9 performance against Wichita State.

During that stretch, the senior never shot above 38.5 percent from the field prior to the breakout 23-point surge in the Cowboys’ win over then-No. 19 Florida State on Dec. 16.

Carroll said his approach, though his increased production, hasn’t changed all that much since becoming a starter. He’s still very much aggressive on the offensive end, but he wanted to value efficiency over volume.

“I had the same approach,” he said. “I just needed to take smart shots. I was just coming in (off the bench) trying to hit that one big shot to get me going.”

For Boynton, the ultimate purpose behind transitioning Carroll from the sixth man to first string was to get him to relax -- to be the Jeffrey Carroll of old that played instinctively on the floor.

“I wanted him to see him relax,” said Boynton.” Get to the glass, get out in transition and play freely with more swagger. “I think it has been noticeably different in his mentality and his approach since he’s been starting.”

Shining star: OSU junior rebounds from back surgery, redshirt season

By Jimmy Gillespie, Stillwater Newspress (12/25/2017) He was forced to end his junior season. STILLWATER - Tavarius Shine’s basketball future was in jeopardy one year ago. “That was one of the toughest, because having to just sit out and watch my brothers play – that was really tough,” Shine said. “Losses and wins were A back injury derailed his season before December a year ago.

He When you have something that you love taken away, it takes a lot from you, spent his 2017 Valentine’s Day undergoing surgery. so it feels good to be back on the court.” This meant more time away from basketball, but it also meant a possible Shine’s return to the court and his performances have helped him earn the cure to his injury. respect of first-year coach Mike Boynton.

To help him through those difficult times, Shine had teammates around him during the basketball season. He also had someone much closer to him – “For him to be committed to this thing, and be on board with what I’ve tried someone who’s been with him his entire life. to get him to do – I told him, ‘You might work your tail off all summer and never play.’ It’s a conversation we had.

He continued his physical therapy and recovery, looking forward to the day he could shoot a basketball again.

Shine’s doctor had a timetable set out before the surgery, but basketball actions were still weeks ahead. It took until late May or June before Shine could begin shooting a basketball. It started with shots next to the bucket and continued with free throws.

“I started really close to the basket – no jumping, no bending, nothing,” Shine said. “It was just touching the ball and shooting a little bit.

“It was great, because you see improvement. I was taking some steps and seeing improvement. Just to see the ball go through the net for the first time in a long time felt good. I knew I was on my way back.”

Shine’s health begin to improve and he did return to OSU for his redshirt junior season. He wasn’t guaranteed any playing time by Boynton.

However, Shine eventually earned his playing time this season. In the first two games of the season, Shine scored in double figures with 11 and 17 points, respectively.

He’s also scored in double figures in five of the past six games, with his season high of 20 points coming against Wichita State. Through 12 games, Shine is the Cowboys’ leading scorer with a 10.8 average.

“I just feel so much better,” Shine said. “Injury wise, my body just feels so much better. I don’t have that tightness or anything that I was feeling. I don’t have any of that pain and that helps me a lot so I can get in the gym and put in extra time so I can do extra things.

“I feel like I have a lot to prove. Coming off the injury and being away from the game for so long, I always have a lot to prove. No matter what level you’re at, everybody has something to prove. Even the best players, like LeBron, has something to prove every night, so if he has something to prove, I for sure have something to prove.”

While he may have something to prove, Shine has impressed his coach since returning to the court.

“He goes about this thing the right way every single day,” Boynton said. “He’s one of our leaders, for sure, because of his experience. He has a great appreciation for playing the game. It was taken away from him, unfor- tunately, last year and I think he knows that. Every single day, he goes out there and plays like this could be the last time. He doesn’t assume there are 20 more games to play.

“So, I’m really proud of him for fighting back the way he has, because as I’ve said before, I wasn’t sure he’d play basketball again, certainly not at the level he’s played at, and all of the credit goes to him for the work ethic

Mike Boynton and rays of hope at Gallagher-Iba Arena

By Guerin Emig, Tulsa World (12/19/2017) Pitts said. “I’m backing him 100 percent.”

STILLWATER — Don Schieber was standing in a corner of Gallagher-Iba Arena Pitts enjoyed Boynton’s presentation at OSU’s caravan stop in Ponca City last on Tuesday night, talking about Oklahoma State basketball under first-year summer, as the new coach worked hard to sell himself. The vibe has been coach Mike Boynton when he said: “We’ve got a long ways to go.” similar on campus.

Nobody disputes this, even as OSU stands 9-2 thanks to a 71-59 victory over “He came out and introduced himself around baseball and softball season,” said Tulsa. Rex Ishmael sat in the arena’s upper reaches before tipoff and cautioned: Michael Rhone, an OSU nutrition professor. “He went around the stands.

I think coach Boynton has done a great job. He’s come into a situation he kind of got thrown into because Brad Underwood left, and I he’s going at it a hundred percent.”

Parrish admits he cocked his head over the hire in March, same as just about every fan I spoke to Tuesday night. Nine months later, through the Evans mess and the dreary Big 12 forecast, he wants to believe.

For Parrish and several other fans at this game, that has to do with basketball.

“Just look at the Florida State game,” said Tom Sipe, standing in Schieber’s cir- cle and acknowledging OSU’s upset win over the No. 19 Seminoles on Saturday. “Look at the defensive attitude of that team.”

“I’ve seen a lot of improvement, especially Mitch Solomon,” said Mary Morwood, an OSU regular since Gallagher-Iba Arena was still Gallagher Hall. “He has really come on strong. He’s being coached so well.”

Others have latched on to less obvious traits of the rookie head coach.

“What I like about coach Boynton, which I’ve never seen a coach do, when they introduce the opposing team, he always claps for every player,” Nelda Newman said.

“I like that he doesn’t chew the players out,” Dan Newman said. “Even when Eddie was here, those players were on a short leash. When Underwood was here, I mean, it looked like it was personal. This guy may be chewing on them, but it’s in the dressing room.”

Boynton calls Solomon his MVP, for all the little things he does to win games, Then Saturday in the Miami suburb of Sunrise, Boynton’s band of Cowboys starting with defense. But Solomon did the big things Saturday. After Florida played fanatical defense for 40 minutes, defense that the houses of Iba and State took a 70-69 lead with 10 seconds left, Solomon ran the court and tipped Sutton would have been proud to call their own, and an admirable hero named in Kendall Smith’s miss. Then when the Seminoles’ CJ Walker barreled into the Mitchell Solomon tipped in the go-ahead basket with six seconds left and took a lane, Solomon stood his ground and took the charge, effectively winning the game-winning charge with one second left, and the Cowboys had a 71-70 victory game for OSU. over 19th-ranked Florida State. “He is what we want our program to be about,” Boynton said. “We’ve got a kid And you realized that OSU basketball still has a pulse.

The student-athlete ideal. help this team, had been dismissed from the squad. “I work harder because I feel that kid deserves it,” Boynton said.

Saturday, that cloud lifted in a place called Sunrise, and a little light shone through. “There’s been so much negative talk, so much adversity this team has dealt with, they don’t need a rallying cry,” Boynton said.

Boynton is a charming fellow. He doesn’t come across so much as charismatic, but genuine. You can tell the hits to his program have worn him slick. He’s clearly kept much of it from the players, but Boynton said, with some sting and with some truth, “We’re 8-2. We would be covered better if we were 2-8.”

But the focus has to start shifting to basketball, and that’s a good thing for the Cowboys. If they finish last in the Big 12, this is a whale of a conference. OSU’s two defeats, to Texas A&M and Wichita State, were to teams currently ranked in the top 10. Florida State was one of four remaining unbeaten teams in Division I, until running into the Cowboys.

OSU isn’t gifted offensively. Gone are Jawun Evans and Phil Forte. The former was a penetrating point guard, now playing for the Clippers and provider of instant offense when the Cowboys struggled. The latter was a sharpshooter extraordinaire. Besides Jeffrey Carroll, Boynton’s team does not have an above-average offensive player by Big 12 standards.

But the Cowboys play with great effort and guard the dog out of you.

Boynton said he’s been talking probably since April that, “hey, we’re going to be OK if we get everybody on board, pulling in the same direction. The easiest way, focus on defense. If we believe, if we want to achieve, we’ll have to really buy into that.

Oklahoma State hands No. 19 Florida State 1st loss, 71-70

The Seminoles shot 41 percent and were held well below their scoring average Cowboys 71, Seminoles 70. of 87.1 points per game.

Solomon scored on a tip-in with 6 seconds left and then happily fell to the floor at the other end of the court when he took a game-clinching charge, and Oklahoma Florida State also missed three of six free throws in the final 3:20. State knocked No. 19 Florida State from the unbeaten ranks Saturday in the Orange Bowl Classic.

Florida State went ahead on Terance Mann’s follow with 10 seconds remaining, but Oklahoma State needed only four seconds to go the length of the court to score for the 14th and final lead change.

Following a timeout, the Seminoles’ CJ Walker drove into the lane but collided with Solomon and was called for the foul, sealing the Cowboys’ win.

“I just try to pride myself on playing that way all the time,” Solomon said.

Florida State (9-1) missed a chance to match the best start to a season in school history. Oklahoma State (8-2) ended a streak of seven consecutive losses against ranked teams since February.

“To come out and compete for 40 full minutes — we hadn’t done that yet this year,” Cowboys coach Mike Boynton said. “We beat a really good team today. Florida State is going to win a lot of games in the ACC.”

The Seminoles’ loss left only four unbeaten teams in Division I: Villanova, Arizo- na State, Miami and TCU.

“We’re in a conference where you can’t get caught up in streaks, because nobody in the ACC is going to go undefeated,” coach Leonard Hamilton said. “It doesn’t happen. Tonight we played against a team that played a little better than us.”

Florida State squandered a seven-point lead in the final 8 minutes but still had a chance to go ahead in the final seconds. Oklahoma State forward Jeffrey Carroll said the final sequence starring Solomon at both ends of the court had a cinematic tinge.

“It almost felt like slow motion,” Carroll said, “like a movie almost.”

Boynton said he expected the Seminoles to drive to the lane on their final possession.

“We were just fortunate that Mitch knew the right play,” Boynton said. “He came over and gave up his body, sacrificed for his teammates and got our team a win.”

Solomon had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Carroll, a senior, made his first start of the season and scored 23 points to surpass 1,000 for his career, and was voted the game’s outstanding player

Senior Phil Cofer scored a career-high 22 points for Florida State. Mann, a junior, had 20 points and a career-high 14 rebounds.

The Seminoles committed a season-high 22 turnovers against a variety of Oklahoma State defenses.

A year after his arrival in Stillwater, Yankuba Sima aims to become rim protector Oklahoma State has lacked

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (12/15/2017)

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State has longed for a shot blocker long before Mike Boynton or Yankuba Sima stepped on campus.

Only one Cowboy in the past decade, Michael Cobbins, has swatted 50 shots in a season. And it has been 15 years since an OSU player — Andre Williams — averaged two blocks per game over the course of a season.

A shot blocker of that caliber can alter the way teams attack and can make guards wary of driving too deep into the paint.

It is an invaluable asset — one OSU hopes it has in the 6-foot-11 Sima beginning this weekend.

“We know he brings great length and a defensive presence to us immediately, something that we haven’t had up until this point,” Boynton said Thursday. “He’s been a proven shot blocker at this level.”

Sima’s presence will be needed Saturday when Oklahoma State (7-2) takes on No. 19 Florida State (9-0) at the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise, Florida, at 1 p.m. One of six remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Seminoles pack a ton of size into their lineup. They also do most of their scoring inside the arc, led by 6-6 Terance Mann (74.7 percent on two-point attempts).

Saturday marks the OSU debut for Sima, who transferred to Oklahoma State from St. John’s last December. He sat out the spring and fall semesters before gaining eligibility Thursday.

The excitement about Sima’s inclusion into the lineup comes from his track record. As a freshman at St. John’s in 2015-16, Sima averaged 2.4 blocks per game to go with 7.3 points and 5.7 rebounds. The Girona, Spain, native ranked 22nd in the country in blocks per game.

He had only five blocks in 10 games last year for the Red Storm before electing to transfer.

But he knows the No. 1 thing he can bring to the OSU lineup is something it has lacked — an intimidating presence in front of the defensive rim.

“Obviously, protecting the rim a lot, rebounding,” Sima said of his role. “And then on offense, giving second chances for the team.”

Combined with Mitchell Solomon, who is largely considered OSU’s most technically sound defender, Sima could help make OSU one of the better interior defensive teams in the Big 12.

There’s no script for how much Sima will play Saturday, Boynton said, but expect him to get a chance.

Said Boynton: “Fouls predict sometimes how you have to rotate and sub, but I certainly hope to get him in early and give him an opportunity to have an impact.”

Mike Boynton sees his Oklahoma State team coming together -- even as the Cowboys falter down the stretch to Wichita State

As his team went back-and-forth with Gregg Marshall and No. 6 that just goes to show where we could be in the future.” Wichita State, he immersed himself in the moment.

He did not excuse the loss — “I don’t really care who the opponent is or how good It gave the Shockers a 63-55 lead that wouldn’t be cut to fewer than six. they’re supposed to be, I expect to win” — but he also felt his program, team and crowd included, took a step Saturday. “Every time they made their move, we had a counter,” said Marshall, whose team avenged a 93-76 loss to OSU in Wichita last year. “If that’s the No. 6 team in the country, which I think they’re better, we’re really close to being damn good,” Boynton said. “I believe that.” Like last year, when Jawun Evans owned the Shockers with 22 minutes, the difference Saturday was one team’s star — Shamet — outplaying everyone. His 30 points came That Oklahoma State kept pace with Wichita State for as long as it did was remarkable on just 11 shots, as he made 14-of-16 free throws. considering its preseason All-Big 12 player was a nonfactor. Combined with an off night by OSU’s star, the 12-point margin doesn’t look all that bad. Jeffrey Carroll, who came off the bench for the sixth consecutive game since his rein- statement, produced just three points on 1-of-9 shooting and four fouls in 17 minutes. Moving forward, though, Boynton knows OSU must learn to finish. Oklahoma State only has three games left before Big 12 play revs up — and the next one comes Two of the fouls were mirror images in the first half. Carroll attempted to drive and against a Florida State squad that could be ranked this week. Shamet knew his tendencies and drew offensive fouls. The three points were the fewest for Carroll since his sophomore year. The other nine teams in the Big 12 each already have at least one win against a KenPom top 100 team. The next game is OSU’s last chance for one before it hosts Without his production, the Cowboys stuck to Boynton’s principles. They played West Virginia Dec. 29. tireless, maddening defense, taking Wichita State out of its offense. So, progress … Boynton saw progress Saturday. But he needs to see more. For an 11-minute stretch — from the 16:48 mark of the first half to 5:48 — the Shock- ers mustered one field goal and 10 turnovers. “I’m a competitor, right?” Boynton said. “At the end of the day, we lost for a reason.

The issue for Oklahoma State was the other end of the floor, as the Cowboys couldn’t

Carroll carries hefty burden of Cowboys hopes

By John Helsley, The Oklahoman (11/10/2017) “Throughout my time here, I would play well in some games, and then there would be games where people were like, ‘Where’s Jeff Carroll been?’” he STILLWATER – Jeffrey Carroll arrived at Oklahoma State in the summer of said. “I’ve kept that in the back of my head. 2013, looked around, and immediately felt out of place. “I really want to take on that challenge, because I know I have to bring my “I remember I came in and I was around Le’Bryan Nash and Marcus Smart best every night. I’ve got to be ready.” and Markel Brown,” Carroll said recently, eyes widening to punctuate the flashback. “I was like, ‘I’m on the same team as Marcus Smart!’ I was kind of star-struck. I was that freshman going to practice so nervous that they were going to show me up.

“It’s just funny how the table has turned. And it turned in my favor, I think.”

Turned upside down.

Carroll didn’t even play his freshman season, instead serving a rare basketball redshirt. Then after two seasons as a solid, yet spotty contributor, he broke through as a force in the Big 12 a year ago, playing a major role in OSU’s 20-13 finish that included a return to the NCAA Tournament.

Now, with the Cowboys set to open the season at home Friday against Pepperdine, Carroll provides the face of the program, a preseason All-Big 12 pick carrying the team’s bid to exceed expectations of a last-place projection in the conference.

It’s another new role for Carroll, who had Jawun Evans and Phil Forte III fill- ing the spotlight last season. And some wonder how well he’ll thrive without those guys sharing the ball and sharing the attention of opponents.

Carroll understands the challenge, embracing it, with the focus of a federal investigation that involves him fading, for now.

“It’s huge for me, because I’m at the very top of the other team’s scouting report,” he said. “It’s more of a mental thing. I can’t let that psyche me out. I can’t be, ‘Oh, teams are coming for me, I’ll just lay back.’

“I’m coming harder than ever. I’ve been working harder than I ever have in my life. It’s a vital point in my career right now. I just want to take the guys and lead them the best as I can.”

Carroll progressed from a bit part as a redshirt freshman to a solid, if inconsistent contributor his sophomore season. Then came last year’s leap.

Carroll averaged 17.5 points – the most of any returning Big 12 player – 6.6 rebounds and averaged 44.4 percent on 3-point shots, one of only four players in league history to finish in the top 10 of all three categories. And it’s an elite club: Kevin Durant, Georges Niang, Jordan Hamilton… and Jeffrey Carroll.

But can he pull of an encore?

“Jeff’s gotten stronger, more explosive,” said Cowboys coach Mike Boynton. “He’s become a little better ball-handler. Needs to pass better, although I’m not sure how much I’ll be asking him to pass.”

Carroll has grown his game before as a Cowboy. Once strictly a perimeter shooter, he started taking the ball to the rim, and finishing, last season. Now he’s focused on being consistently good, even great, for his team’s sake.

Mike Boynton’s desire for improved defense is so strong, it’s stamped on Oklahoma State’s shorts

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (11/7/2017) Boynton said he is constantly reminded of how far OSU has to come defensively. He recently watched a replay of the Cowboys’ 96-92 win over STILLWATER — As part of his acclimation process to the position of Oklahoma on Feb. 18. Oklahoma State head coach, and as part of his process of helping the OSU community acclimate to him, Mike Boynton traveled to Tulsa this spring and Against a team that ranked 118th in adjusted offensive efficiency, OSU met with Cowboy legend Eddie Sutton. allowed 53 first-half points.

What is there to talk about with the coach who took Oklahoma State to two By the sounds of it, efforts like that won’t sit well with Boynton. And he has Final Fours? Defense, of course. Sutton’s teams were hard-nosed, and the the full attention of his players. former coach let Boynton in on one way he motivated his players behind the scenes. “We’re going to really get after it,” guard Kendall Smith said. “We’re going to pressure teams full court, 94 feet, whatever Coach Mike asks us to do.” They wore “DEFENSE” across the back of their practice shorts.

“That’s one of the ways he emphasized it every day,” Boynton said. “When I told him that I would think about doing it again, he lit up. And so we made that happen pretty quickly.”

Step into Gallagher-Iba Arena on most afternoons these days, and you’ll see Boynton’s homage to the Sutton era. When Sutton took over as Oklahoma State’s coach in 1990, the word “defense” began with a word on shorts but became a signature of Cowboy basketball.

Boynton had a front-row seat last season to an entirely different kind of ball: Oklahoma State paired the most efficient offense in the country with a defense that turned into a sieve. The Cowboys averaged 85.5 points over their final four games, but lost all four by allowing 90 per game.

Now the head coach, Boynton believes Oklahoma State can be better on defense in 2017-18, as it tries to outperform its projected last-place finish in the Big 12. The Cowboys will begin their season Friday with more size at guard and will add a shot blocker in December in 6-foot-11 Yankuba Sima.

They’re also, quite simply, going to look silly in those practice shorts if the defense is not improved.

“It’s just something that we have to take pride in, day in and day out,” senior Jeffrey Carroll said.

Under Brad Underwood, Oklahoma State attempted to employ a high-pressure, in-your-face defense early last season. The goal was to get in passing lanes and deny teams from running their offense. At times, the Cowboys pressured full court.

Its potential showed on occasion in nonconference play. Georgetown turned the ball over 28 times in a 97-70 loss to OSU in November.

But in Big 12 play, opponents were too good. A primary reason for OSU’s 0-6 start in Big 12 play was porous defense.

Going conservative down the stretch helped Oklahoma State minimize mis- takes (and foul trouble) while salvaging a 9-9 league record and an NCAA Tournament berth.

But Boynton said to expect some aggression from OSU again this year.

“We won’t be quite as aggressive as we were the beginning of last year, but we’ll certainly be closer to that than we were at the end of the year,” Boynton said. “We were pretty passive in terms of defense.”

Oklahoma State in good hands with Kendall Smith at point guard

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (10/25/2017) “He’s a big guard, big, physical guard,” Carroll said. “He kind of moves like (Russell) Westbrook, how herky-jerky, how he carries himself, even KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Kendall Smith was still deciding where to appearance. He’s a dog. Offensively, he can score, he can push the ball, spend his final season of college basketball as a graduate transfer, he took he’s vocal. He’s a very high IQ player.” a visit to Stillwater and immediately clicked with Jeffrey Carroll.

Carroll, the OSU senior and de facto leader of the 2017-18 Cowboys, was in the process of realizing this was now his team. And he was in need of a new roommate, with classmate Leyton Hammonds graduated and now playing professionally in Finland.

He did not know then whether Smith would become Oklahoma State’s next point guard, the replacement for Los Angeles Clipper Jawun Evans. But if Smith did enroll at OSU, he’d also solve another problem.

“We were talking about him being my roommate on his visit,” Carroll said. “That’s how close we just became. And he’s an older guy, so that helps too.”

An Antioch, California, native, Smith was well-traveled even before he decided to use the graduate transfer rule to his advantage and wind up at Oklahoma State. He began college at UNLV, playing in 31 games in 2013- 14, while Carroll redshirted at OSU. A couple of games into his sophomore year, Smith transferred to Cal State Northridge, a Big West school located in the San Fernando Valley region north of Los Angeles.

He thrived, averaging 15 points per game as a sophomore and 16.7 points per game last season.

The 6-foot-3 guard developed into a player that larger schools such as OSU could be interested in when he decided to transfer once more for his final year of eligibility.

Now, as Oklahoma State is deep into practices, two weeks before its regular-season opener, Smith is one of two players the Cowboys will rely on at point guard.

He is quickly cementing his role, as he and sophomore Brandon Averette look to produce at a position manned last year by one of the best players in the Big 12.

“He’s been there, done that, just in a different league,” Carroll said.

The Cowboys should be able to utilize Smith in different ways. He’ll be important at the point, where he averaged 4.8 assists per game last season and also shot 37.5 percent from 3-point range.

But his size also gives OSU versatility. Coach Mike Boynton could play Smith and Averette side by side without giving up too much in size defensively.

It should make OSU a better defensive team on the perimeter, with Evans and Phil Forte’s minutes going to players such as Smith and sophomores Lindy Waters and Thomas Dziagwa, 6-foot-6 and 6-foot-4, respectively.

Offensively, Smith does not come with the hype that came with Evans, who scored 20 or more points 15 times last year.

But his roommate has been impressed.

As scandal dominates conversation about Oklahoma State basketball, All-Big 12 selection Jeffrey Carroll flies below radar

By Mark Cooper, Tulsa World (10/25/2017) But even with the departures, the recognition would likely be larger for Carroll KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In a black three-button suit, a coral orange tie and a this preseason if the Cowboys were not dealing with a new coach, an FBI inves- well-edged haircut, Jeffrey Carroll arrived at the Sprint Center in rather dapper tigation and a cloud of silence and nerves. fashion. The Oklahoma State senior is learning to act the part of the star; Of the 30 basketball players spread out across Big 12 Media Day, he scored the most Carroll and Solomon, who are playing for their third coach in as many years, points last season. insisted Tuesday that the scandal has not been a distraction inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. It was no surprise last week when Carroll was chosen unanimously to the preseason All-Big 12 team, then. But on Tuesday afternoon, as those 30 players Boynton went as far as to say he did not feel like he needed to do anything to sat at tables aligned in a U-shaped formation at one end of the court, Carroll “insulate” his players from the news. received minimal attention. In a session that lasted an hour, only one reporter not local to Oklahoma asked him a question. Solomon said he tends to stay off social media and away from it.

He’s not the biggest storyline related to this OSU team. And with a seemingly Carroll said the focus remains on “working every day,” with hopes that eventual- tacit understanding that he and teammate Mitchell Solomon would not comment ly, results could change the narrative. on the FBI investigation that led to the arrest of their former assistant coach Lamont Evans, most media strayed away from the OSU table. “Even with everything going on, we still have a season to play in two weeks,” Carroll said, “so it’s knowing that we have to get better every day, it’s just some- Without the scandal to discuss, Oklahoma State was treated like the team thing that we’ve just got to put to the back of our heads and just honestly, try to picked to finish last in the Big 12. move past it and get to the games coming up.”

That has been the paradox of this preseason when it comes to Carroll. In a nor- mal year — and this one has been anything but so far — he would be one of the conference’s fascinating stories. The Rowlett, Texas, native was easily the most improved player in the Big 12 last season, and maybe in the country. He finished third in the conference in points per game (17.5) and eighth in rebounding (6.6). His production came seemingly out of nowhere for a resurgent OSU team.

But the FBI investigation and its effects on the OSU program remain the main — and at times, only — topic of conversation when it comes to the Cowboys. Without discussing it, there wasn’t much interest in talking about something else.

That Carroll could contend for Big 12 Player of the Year — and might need to for Oklahoma State to get back to the NCAA Tournament — has gone unnoticed.

“I’m frustrated for him because he’s earned better,” Cowboys coach Mike Boyn- ton said. “And it’s nobody’s fault. You guys have a job to do, the people asking the questions. But that that’s getting totally disregarded almost, not mentioned, is unfortunate. You guys have seen his development. If none of this happens, I’m not sure we’re picked 10th. I don’t know.

“But you assume that — one of you guys can check when the last time there’s been a first-team All-Big 12 guy on the last-place team in the league. I don’t know the answer to that. But the narrative has changed. So I feel disappointed for him because he deserves better attention for his basketball.”

There are other factors to the lack of buzz about Carroll this preseason. One of the biggest is the reason OSU is picked last in the Big 12: Oklahoma State lost three other starters, including the focal point for most opposing defenses in Jawun Evans.

Take away Evans, and shooting guard Phil Forte, skeptics may wonder whether Carroll’s production a year ago was a product of being third on some opponents’ scouting reports.

Carroll is well aware of that notion.

“That’s a challenge I’m taking on,” Carroll said. “That’s like the No. 1 on my list, just to prove people wrong and prove to the outside noise that I can play.”

I can’t imagine the sales job he faces now. And yet ... This is very instructive seven months later, now that a scandal involving a former right-hand man and close friend has made Boynton’s job twice as hard “I don’t feel any different today than I did then,” Boynton insisted. “The circum- as it already was. He has purged Lamont Evans from the program, but he can’t stances are different than they were then. But I feel like I’m doing the same job.” disassociate OSU from what Evans is alleged to have done.

That he would be justified to carry chips on both shoulders into the FBI’s ongoing probe, and then whatever the NCAA decides to do as a result. his OSU debut Nov. 10.

What he won’t change, through it all, is his routine. “I don’t need someone to do something or say something to make me want to be good,” he said.

You know the Cowboys are picked to finish dead last in the Big 12? Boynton knows. But he doesn’t, apparently. He also said: “Anything worth having is worth working for. That’s why we don’t “All I can do is wake up and try to have a good attitude, be there for my kids,” he focus on preseason polls.

I can’t give them my best if I’m distracted by things that don’t matter or Around the OSU basketball program right now, it’s OK to be aware of it. But that aren’t relevant to where we’re doing, I should say.” you’re better off not focusing on it.

Boynton knows there are dark clouds hovering over Gallagher-Iba Arena, but it would be irresponsible to let his program disappear in them. Not right now. Not as long as nobody knows the extent of the FBI probe, who else could be affected or what price OSU might ultimately pay.

The first thing I asked Boynton at Big 12 Media Day was: “How have you been doing?”

“I’ve been great,” he replied.

Great? With everything you’re going through?

“I’m not really going through anything,” he said. “There are things going on, but I’m not going through anything.”

I told Boynton the first thing I considered when the Evans news broke was his viability as OSU head coach. I wondered if he thought about that.

“Nope,” he answered. “I never thought about my job. Not once.”

Because you couldn’t afford to with everything going on right then?

New York State of Mind: How Mike Boynton’s Brooklyn background prepared him to be OSU’s next basketball coach

Jenni Carlson, The Oklahoman (March 27, 2017) "Because that's when old guys play," Boynton said, laughing.

Kenny Pretlow had his doubts about Mike Boynton's promise. Early on, he was the little kid in the way, shooting at one end of the court when the action went to the other, then nearly getting run over when the men came Even though the point guard was forever insisting he would guard the other back his way. But it didn't take long for the game to capture his attention. team's best player, the coach wasn't so sure one day back in the summer of 1999. Their team from Riverside Church in Brooklyn was facing a Mississippi "What are they doing?" he would wonder as he watched plays develop. "How do squad and a young phenom named Darius Rice. they do that? How did that happen?"

"Coach," Boynton told Pretlow, "I can get him." Even though he was only 6 or 7, Boynton realized he wanted to coach basketball. It changed the way he approached the game. The coach looked at the 6-foot-9 Rice, then at the 6-foot-2 Boynton. "I didn't just play it," he said. "I always valued strategy over maybe just being "Mike," Pretlow said, "the guy is too big for you." more athletic."

"Don't worry, don't worry," Boynton said. "I'm not going to let him get the ball. It He admits that approach might've been a product of self-preservation.

And that made things difficult playing basketball in New York City. Sure enough, after a first half in which someone else guarded Rice and he filled it up, Boynton held him to only a couple second-half points and helped Riverside Boynton remembers going to the park to play pickup.

Pretlow couldn't believe what Boynton did — even all these years later, he still Win, and you stay on the court. marvels at it — and yet, Boynton never shied away from tall tasks. Lose, and you go to the back of the line. "He didn't sit back and watch," Pretlow said via telephone from Brooklyn. "He always challenged himself on the court." "And it may be a while before you're back on," Boynton said. "You learn how to fight. You learn how to compete." So it is again. In junior high, he decided he wanted to attend Mount Carmel-Holy Rosary Boynton is the new basketball coach at Oklahoma State — he'll be formally School in Harlem.

Will Boynton be able to handle all of it? Boynton flourished, averaging A's in his classes and starring on the basketball court. Those who know him best say he's been readying for this moment almost his entire life — and that challenges have never scared him. That helped him land at Bishop Loughlin High School, which has one of the city's best basketball programs.

his senior year with no major-college scholarship offers.

That summer, Boynton defended everyone who was anyone on Riverside Church's schedule.

"It was unbelievable, and he did it every game," said Pretlow, Boynton's coach in the summer. "Once Mike would get on a player, that guy was done."

Riverside went 54-1 that summer, and Boynton got the attention of college recruiters.

He selected South Carolina.

That started him down a path in college basketball that wound around to several stops and ultimately lead him to be named the basketball coach at OSU.

But the journey began back in Metropolis.

"It made me who I am," Boynton said. "Not just Loughlin but growing up in Brooklyn. It helped me develop a sense of competitiveness that I don't know if I would've been able to get other places."

•••

The news about Mike Boynton getting hired as OSU's basketball coach hit Bob Leckie and Kenny Pretlow just like everyone else.

A bolt from the blue.

Those men who coached and mentored Boynton were surprised, but unlike legions of orange bloods, they have no doubts about how he'll do. They believe he'll succeed because he's always succeeded.

Leckie was reminded of Boynton's last game at Loughlin. The team that year was one of Leckie's best, making it all the way to the city semifinals but losing there to the venerable Rice High School. After talking to his disappointed players in the locker room, Leckie emerged to find a couple of referees who called games in Loughlin's league.

They wanted to talk to Boynton.

"Thank you for the years you were here," the referees told the player once he came out of the locker room, "and for being who you are."

Leckie never saw that happen before or since.

Those referees respected Boynton because of the way he respected the game. The way he competed. The way he battled.

None of that has changed.

"One thing that Mike's gonna bring," Pretlow said, "he's gonna bring that Brook- lyn edge, that New York edge.

"He doesn't want to lose."
