STILLWATER — Isaac Likekele said his team’s aura had been off since the pregame shootaround, and it showed.
Oakland upset Oklahoma State 56-55 on Friday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena, dropping the Cowboys to 1-1 in a season in which they are banned from the NCAA Tournament.
OSU had a chance with the ball and eight seconds to play. Likekele took the it the length of the floor, started a drive at the lane and dished to Bryce Thompson. Thompson’s 3 missed, and the Golden Grizzlies stormed Eddie Sutton Court. After the game, Likekele said he wanted to look at the film to determine if the kick-out to Thompson was the correct play or if he should’ve taken it to the hole.
