Must win for OSU?

Oklahoma State in the NCAA Tournament?

Could be.

Watch my latest video commentary or read below:

The Oklahoma State men’s basketball team finds itself on the NCAA Tournament bubble.

And the Cowboys couldn’t be happier.

Only a couple weeks ago, they weren’t just out of the NCAA Tournament discussion. They were out of the NIT discussion, too.

Now, after five consecutive wins and six wins in the past seven games, they’re on the NCAA bubble. It’s the far edge of the bubble where they have to hold on by a fingernail, but still, they’ve managed to get their hooks into it.

So, what now?

Lots of folks believe that the Cowboys have to win their last two regular season games, then win at least a couple games in the Big 12 tournament.

I’m not so sure.

OSU finishes the regular season this week with games at home against Oklahoma, then on the road at Texas. Do the Cowboys need to win both to keep any NCAA Tournament hopes alive?
