Welcome to The Sports Bank’s second annual college basketball season preview series.* Last year we looked at 99 teams in 99 days.* This year, we are being slightly more aggressive and expanding to 111 teams in 111 days.* We will rank the 74 power conference teams and top 37 mid-majors in reverse power ranking order.* We’ll break down rosters, non-conference schedules, and pick a player to watch for each team.

Taking the glass half-full approach, the Oklahoma State Cowboys did win twenty games last season.* Looking at the remaining emptiness in that glass, a winless road record in Big 12 play ultimately doomed Travis Ford’s team as they missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in the last six seasons.* A trip to the dance again seems unlikely for O-K State.

OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS
Last Season: 9th, 6-10 in Big 12, 20-14 overall
Predicted Big 12 Finish: 7th
