STILLWATER — Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy watched the NCAA Tournament this time last March when No. 14-seed Stephen F. Austin upset No. 3-seed West Virginia, and soon after, the OSU men's basketball team hired SFA coach Brad Underwood.
“I think that he will be a great addition for us,” Gundy told reporters in 2016. “I noticed how he has embraced coach Iba’s family and coach Sutton and the tradition here. At Oklahoma State, that’s very important.”
Now 12 months later, of course, that assessment rings to a different tune.
