I dubbed Oklahoma State hoops the Texas Tech football of college basketball this year: elite (like, elite) on offense and an absolute sieve on defense, one of the worst in Big 12 history.
Since 2002, only Baylor (2005, 2005 and 2007) and TCU in 2014 have had a worst conference-only defensive efficiency than Oklahoma State’s 113.8 this year. Those other four teams went a combined 8-58 (not a typo) in conference play.
Defensive efficiency means how many points you give up per 100 possessions, or when divided by 100 how many points you give up per possession.
