Here's a few interesting left over notes from the press conference: http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284952.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284952.html Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:03:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate To properly understand the frustration many have with O.J. Mayo, one first needs to properly frame the issue with expectations. The issues get even more difficult to gauge now that Mayo is opting out of his Mavs contract. He addresses that in this Exit Interview and we address his future inside. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282733.html 8 Chuck Perry & Fish http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282733.html Thu, 18 Apr 2013 17:41:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks Images by photographer KT King from Wednesday afternoon's news conference in which Oklahoma State basketball players Marcus Smart, Le'Bryan Nash and Markel Brown announced they would return to play for the Cowboys during the 2013-14 season. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284486.html 8 GoPokes.com staff http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284486.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 19:04:00 GMT 1 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate STILLWATER, Okla. -- The Student Union was packed as reporters and fans waited for Wednesday's announcement. First it was Le'Bryan Nash. Then it was Markel Brown. And Marcus Smart finished it off. All three Oklahoma State basketball players announced they'll be back in Stillwater next season, putting their NBA dreams on hold. Here are the three storylines from the announcement you need to know: http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284427.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284427.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:30:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate Marcus Smart announced Wednesday afternoon that he is returning to Oklahoma State for his sophomore season after considering leaving early for the NBA. This photo gallery shows some of the images during the 2012-13 campaign when Smart earned National Freshman of the Year honors. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284416.html 8 GoPokes.com staff http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284416.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 15:43:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate For the first time since 2000, the Mavs won't be one of the 16 teams in the NBA Playoffs. At that time, Dirk was 20. This time around, he’s older and wiser and beginning to focus on something else – that is, getting Dallas back to the playoffs and volunteering to help Cuban as a free-agent recruiter. Frankly, as Game 82 is upon us, I’m wondering why folks are just now seeing this as an issue. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282730.html 8 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282730.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:41:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks The moment the press release was sent, the countdown began. At about 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oklahoma State announced Marcus Smart, Le'Bryan Nash and Markel Brown were set to hold a press conference inside the Student Union at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. Hours later, Yahoo! NBA columnist Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news on Twitter than Smart will return to Stillwater next season. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284324.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1284324.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 05:29:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate Mark Cuban stubbornly insists his apology isn't an apology. Maybe that's because after 12 straight Mavs playoff seasons, he's unpracticed in the art of the mea cupla. But the realities are undeniable, as is Cuban's position. 'If someone's got a shot to take, take it at me,' he says. 'My job is to make sure we put everybody in position to succeed and we obviously didn't. It's on me.' http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282732.html 8 Mike Fisher http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282732.html Sat, 13 Apr 2013 11:41:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks The Mavs, coach Rick Carlisle says, 'reside in kind of an altered state of zaniness.' We've got that and more in the Mavs Video Quoteboard, featuring Dirk Nowitzki, Vince Carter, OJ Mayo and Carlisle talking about Dallas' 108-105 overtime victory on Friday over Denver. http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282731.html 8 Fish & Willie Martin http://mavericks.scout.com/2/1282731.html Sat, 13 Apr 2013 11:41:00 GMT 0 268 Dallas mavericks Things were a lot different for J.W. Walsh back in October 2011. The now sophomore Oklahoma State quarterback was a few short months into his redshirt season. The initial growth of his development as a passer was documented in an ESPN feature as part of “Year of the Quarterback: Depth Chart,” that cataloged the Cowboys’ fall camp. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1281957.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1281957.html Tue, 09 Apr 2013 00:08:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate Oklahoma State knew what it would be up against when the Cowboys faced Oregon on Thursday. There were no surprises. Oregon would focus on turning the Cowboys over and owning the rebounding margin. And that's exactly what the Ducks did, to little resistance from Travis Ford's group. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276782.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276782.html Thu, 21 Mar 2013 23:42:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate Oklahoma State's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament since 2010 didn't go as well as Travis Ford and his team was hoping. The Cowboys struggled offensively in suffering a 68-55 loss to Oregon in a second-round game of the Midwest Regional in San Jose, Calif. The Cowboys finish the season with a 24-9 record. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276762.html 8 GoPokes.com staff http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276762.html Thu, 21 Mar 2013 23:12:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate The Midwest Regional is widely regarded as one of the most difficult this NCAA Tournament season. If Oklahoma State is going to make a run, they'll need to eliminate a number of dangerous teams. With Oregon on the horizon, it's time to see who else might be ahead for the Cowboys. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276551.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276551.html Thu, 21 Mar 2013 05:23:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate Markel Brown didn’t need to be told where his Big 12 brethren were headed in the moments following Selection Sunday. Minutes after the NCAA Tournament field was announced, the Oklahoma State guard rattled off the seeds of Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma and Iowa State in response to questions from the media. It didn’t take him long to learn the field. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276173.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1276173.html Wed, 20 Mar 2013 03:04:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate If the NCAA Tournament is all about matchups as the so called experts say it is then Oklahoma State should be in good shape. That’s because the Cowboys guards of Marcus Smart, Markel Brown and Phil Forte could cause problems in OSU’s first game Thursday afternoon against Oregon in the Midwest Regional in San Jose, Calif. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275962.html 8 GoPokes.com staff http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275962.html Tue, 19 Mar 2013 15:23:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate STILLWATER - When Le'Bryan Nash committed to Oklahoma State out of high school — turning down offers from perennial powers like Kansas, Kentucky and UCLA — he wanted to bring Stillwater back into the national basketball conversation. Or as he calls it, the spotlight. After two seasons, Nash got his wish. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275518.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275518.html Sun, 17 Mar 2013 23:15:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate Oklahoma State is returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010. The Cowboys are the fifth seed in the Midwest Regional and will face No. 12 seed Oregon on Thursday in San Jose, Calif. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275478.html 8 GoPokes.com staff http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275478.html Sun, 17 Mar 2013 22:32:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate Images from No. 14 Oklahoma State's 68-57 loss to No. 11 Kansas State in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament played Friday night at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275090.html 8 GoPokes.com staff http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275090.html Sat, 16 Mar 2013 04:03:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate KANSAS CITY — In the final minutes, the Sprint Center never sounded so quiet. Texas Tech vs. TCU on Wednesday might have provided better theater. From the very beginning of Oklahoma State’s semifinal match up with Kansas State, something seemed off. Early in the game, the Cowboy offense came from a pair of Marcus Smart 3-pointers and an added triple by Phil Forte. http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275119.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1275119.html Sat, 16 Mar 2013 03:53:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate The Oklahoma State basketball coaching offices expected about one email per week during the season. The sender was sometimes from France, Italy or Poland. Other days, it might have been Spain or Portugal. They all asked the same question: Is Keiton Page still interested in playing basketball? http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1274875.html 8 Kyle Fredrickson http://oklahomastate.scout.com/2/1274875.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:47:00 GMT 0 181 Oklahoma State oklahomastate
