Series History (OSU leads 73-39)
Despite being just an hour drive apart, these teams haven’t played since the 2018-19 season (when Isaac Likekele was a freshman).
Tulsa upset the Cowboys that day in T Town thanks to a 20-point outing from DaQuan Jefferies.
The series goes back to 1908, a year in which the teams played twice, splitting the games. They met two more times in 1909 and again split the games.
Oklahoma State owns a 41-15 advantage in the series in Stillwater. The last meeting on Eddie Sutton Court came in 2017-18 where OSU won 71-59. Jeffrey Carroll had a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double that day to go with Kendall Smith’s 16 points.
