Don’t be stunned if there’s a change to the starting lineup

Oklahoma State sophomore Marshall Moses had his second double-figure rebounding game of the season against

Missouri, and he played all the crunch-time minutes in the post against the Tigers. So does that mean Moses will take over starting duties from Malcoln Kirkland?

Travis Ford said he’s torn.

“I don’t know,” Ford said. “It’s definitely in my mind but I kinda like having that option. Malcoln hasn’t hurt us in the first two or three minutes of a game. He gets you going and you always have

Marshall to go to.”

It seems Ford likes to have two guys to give him energy off the bench.

“(Moses) is going to play 25 minutes,” Ford said. “Whether I start him or not, I just kinda like having that guy over there, two guys that are really coming off the bench now. He’s gonna play 22, 25 minutes. At least he should if he’s playing as well and as hard as he is. He’s doing a pretty good job, he’s working hard.”
