Here’s a sentence I did not picture myself typing in the midst of Oklahoma State’s dreadful 0-8 start to conference play, yet I present it with no reservations. The Cowboys are a legit Big 12 team as they get ready to tip off the conference tournament Wednesday against Iowa State. Now, that certainly doesn’t mean they’re on the level Kansas is playing at. Who is? But could they have competed with Baylor for that second spot barring Isaac Likekele’s setback with Mono? I think yes.
