Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton will face his alma mater when the Cowboys host the South Carolina Gamecocks in the 2019 Big 12/SEC Challenge.
Boynton, now in his second year with the Cowboys, played for the Gamecocks from 2000 to 2004. During that time, Boynton finished in the top ten in three-pointers made and was a part of South Carolina’s 2004 NCAA Tournament run.
The Gamecocks, who are just one year removed from a Final Four appearance, finished the 2017 season with a 17-16 record. After losing eight scholarship players in the offseason before this year, USC struggled in the back half of the season, which included a six-game skid in January and February.
