Rory's Rollercoaster

1 week ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

Have you ever been good at something, done just about everything you could at that something except for one last big thing? Have you felt the frustration of not being able to finish that job? If so, you can connect with what Rory McIlroy had felt for basically the last 11 years before Sunday's exhausting triumph at the Masters.
Cowboys Basketball Transfer Portal: Gains and losses for Oklahoma State, impact on the backcourt

2 weeks ago | ourcommunitynow.com | John Holcomb

Share The news that Cowboy guard Jamyron Keller is going into the portal isn’t a huge surprise. The 6-3 sophomore did start most of this season, averaging just over 5 points per game, and was 4-4 from 3-point range in OSU’s win over Wichita State in the NIT first round. Broken Arrow native Connor Dow went into the portal two weeks ago, meaning the remaining players from Mike Boynton’s last Cowboy roster have either run out of eligibility or decided to transfer.

Sizing up the OSU commits

2 weeks ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

So far, OSU head coach Steve Lutz is going guard-heavy in the transfer portal. Four commitments (two have signed) and more size in the backcourt. Three of the four are 6-5, meaning more length to defend the aggressive, driving style in the Big 12. All four can score. On Monday, OSU confirmed that Anthony Roy is the second signee from the portal. A smooth-shooting lefthander, Roy averaged better than 25 points per game for Green Bay before a leg injury sidelined him just 11 games into the season.
Steve Lutz confirms commitment to OSU in social media post

2 weeks ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

It was a very simple post on X- Steve Lutz, in an orange shirt and white cowboy hat, sitting on a horse, giving the "Go Pokes" salute. The OSU head coach, who was formally introduced one year ago tomorrow, is telling Cowboy basketball fans he's staying. Sources had told us Lutz was on a list of potential candidates for the opening at Texas A&M, and with him being a San Antonio native it's understandable that there could have been some interest.
Is Oklahoma State coach Steve Lutz on Texas A&M's radar? Here's what we know:

3 weeks ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

The college basketball coaching carousel never seems to stop, and now one outlet is suggesting that OSU's Steve Lutz may be in the mix in the Texas A&M search. Since Buzz Williams left College Station to take over at Maryland, already former Texas Tech and Texas head coach Chris Beard (perhaps the top target for the Aggies) has decided to remain the head coach at Ole Miss. To this point, our sources say Lutz may be one of several coaches being considered, including Charleston's Chris Mack.
Cowboys' last-minute rally falls shy at NIT, N. Texas to Final Four

1 month ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

After the Cowboys fell behind by as many as 9 with just over a minute to play, many Oklahoma State fans had already headed for the exits. But this Cowboy team, with its somewhat newfound grit down the stretch, put on a rally for the ages that came up just one 3-point attempt short. Brandon Newman, in a 2-point game with .7 seconds left, got the ball off the sideline and nearly banked in what would have been a game-winning 3.
Cowboys drop final conference road game of season to UCF, 83-70

1 month ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

The final score of UCF 83, OSU 70 suggests otherwise, but OSU’s final Big 12 road game (and final chance for a road win in the league) was a strong possibility. The Cowboys led by 10 early in the second half before shots stopped falling. But that wasn’t the main problem. UCF’s Darious Johnson, the senior guard on senior night, took over the game. Johnson scored 27 of his career high 36 points in the second half.
Oklahoma State vs. UCF: Cowboys seek Big 12 boost in rematch

1 month ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

Oklahoma State will look to rebound from a tough loss at Baylor when it faces UCF on Wednesday in a Big 12 showdown at Addition Financial Arena. The Cowboys (14-15, 6-12 Big 12) are aiming to improve their conference standings after allowing Baylor to shoot 56% from the field in Saturday’s 79-62 loss. Head coach Steve Lutz emphasized the need for stronger defensive consistency.
John Holcomb: OSU basketball pre-Baylor

1 month ago | news9.com | John Holcomb

I would love to tell you what to expect when the Cowboys take the floor for the first time in Baylor’s new arena Saturday night. I would love to tell you that the tallest OSU player (Abou Ousmane) and the shortest Cowboy (Arturo Dean) will likely duplicate the effort they put together in OSU’s upset of number 9 Iowa State on Tuesday in Stillwater. But given the way this season has played out, there’s hardly any way to accurately predict what Steve Lutz’s first Cowboy team will come up with.
