Oklahoma State men's basketball notebook: Philip Jurick wins battle of bigs
6-foot-11 Jurick took on 6-10, 240-pound Jordan Reves. Jurick grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds, including eight on the offensive end.
“Behind those backboards is such an effect,” Ford said. “It's an effect on our team. That's what you see. That's what you feel.
“I came out Sunday and went, ‘Wait, we have to do something about this.'”
Will it be done again in advance of Saturday's game?
“We know our students aren't going to be here. That's obvious,” Ford said. “It's not like we hope they're going to show up. They're not here.
“Hopefully, we'll do it again on Saturday.”
