Something is seriously wrong at Oklahoma State. When just a few seasons ago OSU is in the final four we should not see a stretch of NIT appearances and of course this season’s debacle which will not even qualify for the NIT. Of course it should be mentioned that we haven’t won a road game since 2006. Usually teams build off of multiple television appearances and deep runs into the NCAA bracket, however, OSU has taken a huge nose dive and failed to live up to expectations. Also, one simple question: Is it really that hard to get a center at OSU who has played basketball for more than a year or two and can produce offensively?
Oklahoma State needs a new men’s basketball caoch. The Sutten era has come and gone. The Sutten’s have a problem getting a big man for a center. We need better recruiting,better coaching!
