Ranking each Big 12 basketball team entering conference play
14. Oklahoma State Cowboys
Mike Boynton has led Oklahoma State to a .500-or-better record in five of his six seasons in Stillwater. However, doing so this season could be a challenge in a loaded Big 12. The Cowboys have suffered some tough losses already this year to teams like Abilene Christian and Southern Illinois while failing to earn signature wins over Notre Dame and Creighton. Oklahoma State does have talent led by guard Javon Small who is averaging 16 points, five rebounds and five assists early on in the season. However, they will need some other guys to step up going forward in order to stay out of the cellar in the Big 12.
