STILLWATER — Steve Lutz took his second Cowboy basketball team down to Birmingham for an exhibition against a team coming off a Final Four run. And the Cowboys won.
Oklahoma State beat Auburn 97-95 last week, going to overtime in the game that didn’t count on records to do so. The Cowboys were shorthanded, with four player sitting on the pine in street clothes. Eight of the 11 Cowboys who did play were wearing an OSU jersey for the first time.
And despite all of that, the Cowboys went to hostile territory against a preseason Top 25 team and won.
