COBBINS READY FOR MORE

After the Bedlam loss, the Cowboys get a week off between games before returning to Gallagher-Iba Arena to face Texas Tech on Saturday.

A long time to reflect?

“I think it'll just fuel the fire, actually,” said Cowboys forward Michael Cobbins. “We'll be ready to get back on the court and prove ourselves once again. I think if anything, it'll help us to let this be in our minds when we practice. Go hard and worry about our next victim.”

QUOTABLE

OSU guard Markel Brown: “We didn't play hard enough. That was it. They got 50-50 balls. They were in a higher gear than we were.”
