Oklahoma State should be in the 2018 NCAA Tournament field.
After knocking off Kansas for the second time this season on Saturday, the Cowboys have as good a resume as you’ll see among insert air quotes bubble teams close air quotes. And it’s not really all that close if you value top tier wins more so than middle tier Quadrant 1 wins.

- Four wins over top-10 teams
- Six top-25 wins
- Zero losses to teams not currently projected in the NCAA Tournament field
And perhaps most importantly, OSU’s shellacking of KU on Saturday netted one resume boost in an area it needed desperately: Quadrant 1.
