STILLWATER — A few years ago, Kirk Cole was the Sigma Chi’s flame-throwing intramural shooter. Tuesday night, Cole found himself sliding across Eddie Sutton Court after a loose ball in the first half of the Cowboys’ season opener.
Oklahoma State beat Oral Roberts 95-71 on Tuesday night to start the season 1-0. Cole, a senior from Yukon, played in eight minutes, all in the first half. He didn’t record a traditional statistic in that stretch, but he made a play that sparked the 6,211 in attendance.
After ORU blocked a shot, the ball rolled around in the paint between a pair of Golden Eagles.
