STILLWATER — With travel squads limited to 70 players for Big 12 Conference games, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy almost never takes an injured player on the road.
Yet as he came down to the final two or three spots on his list for players who would make the trip to Waco, Texas, to face Baylor last Saturday, he began to consider going against the norm.
The last player or two on the 70-man travel squad aren't likely to get in the game, so as Gundy determined who might provide the most value to his team in Waco, a name was sticking out to him.
