A little basketball buzz
This fall I couldn’t help but notice a distinct lack of interest in Oklahoma State basketball. People didn’t seem to be talking about it, people didn’t seem to be reading about it, people haven’t been showing up to games. I think that might be starting to change after last night.
The lack of interest was probably a combination of things — the football team being so much fun to talk about, disappointment on the basketball court the last couple of years, etc. But Oklahoma State’s dismantling of Tulsa took a lot of people (including Travis Ford) by surprise. The Cowboys made a Sportscenter highlight (appropriately Byron-to-Thomas, the play that worked so well all evening), the OSU message boards are buzzing about basketball and I’ve even received a couple hoops emails today.
In postgame Ford mentioned that he doesn’t know how good the Cowboys are yet. I — and I bet a lot of you fans — are looking forward to finding out next week in Orlando. Anyway, let’s hear it. What are your thoughts on OSU hoops? Have they changed this week?

I am a grad and die-hard fan but had lost a little interest to be honest…until the other night. I like the style of play and how they passed the ball. Not to mention the little guy, Keiton Page. Should be fun!!!
I’ve become very disillusioned and disappointed with Oklahoma State fans the past couple of years. Of course we’ve known for years that support for football has been mediocre, but I always thought we had great basketball fans. All the empty seats says otherwise.
Not to worry. This team working with this coach will draw the fans. What an exciting bunch!! These players are really developing under coach Ford. This team will be a winner this year. They won”t win all of them, but they will all be exciting.
Each one of last years players who remain are much improved.
I am one of those fans that did not renew their season tickets. One of the reasons is that I have a 2 year old and a son that is 1 day old. One of the things that I like is the half season package you can buy. If they offer it next year I will buy it. I do think we will be better than I thought.
