This wasn’t supposed to be one of the tougher nonconference games Oklahoma State played this year.
The Cowboys blew a 24-point lead in a 66-64 loss on the road Charlotte on Saturday. There were times the Cowboys looked much better than their last-place Big 12 preseason ranking, but that quickly came back to earth by the end of the game.
The team is young, and coach Mike Boynton has said all along he hopes the team plays its best basketball in January rather than November, but losing to a team that won only six games last season and had already lost to Chattanooga by double digits this season wasn’t the ideal way to start Year No.
