On Wednesday, OSU’s departing quarterback and left tackle, along with 16 other senior Cowboys, performed in OSU’s Pro Day in one of their final chances to stand out before the draft in April.
When the Cowgirls beat Kansas 70-68 earlier this season, the Lady Jayhawks were still at full strength.

Cowboys vs. Sooners
The Big 12 Tournament is always a pressure-filled affair.
On each game rides the chance of getting to the NCAA Tournament, improving a seed or to at least get a last-minute upset to feel better about the year.
For the Cowboys, add the fact that they are playing Oklahoma in the opening round on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo., and it hardly seems like a joking matter.

The Cowgirls (16-5) had won 10 of its previous 11 games, its only loss against No. 1 Washington, and two of their wins being against top 20 teams last weekend.
