Good Morning Pokes. The squeaking of the sneakers. The bouncing against the hardwood. The swish of a smooth jumper.

Nothing like the sights and sounds of college hoops!

What all do we have stirring in today’s Brew! Check it out below!

🏀 THE BALL IS TIPPED…

Not that anyone’s counting, but we’re roughly 805 hours away
from the tipoff of the 2024-25 Cowgirl basketball season.

This week, OSU returned to the courts for the official start of
practice for the upcoming campaign.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Freaky Fast. In Saturday’s showdown at Kansas State, De’Zhaun Stribling showed off his speed early on.

With this flea flicker in the first half, Stribling hit his stride and unleashed a speed of 22.3 mph, the fastest top speed by any collegiate player this past weekend.

He is the first college player to break 22+ mph this season according to Reel Analytics.

🎥 OSUMAX: THE OLD POKES SHOW

The Cowboys welcome the West Virginia Mountaineers to Stillwater this weekend.

OSU is trying to end a two-game losing skid, while the Mountaineers are coming off their first bye week of the 2024 season. Clint Chelf and Deion Imade break down
the Kansas State game, look at the Big 12 standings and catch up with WVSports.com staff writer Wesley Shoemaker to learn more about all things West Virginia.

🏈 THE ROAD AHEAD

No doubt about it. The Cowboys are hungry to turn things around.

After back-to-back losses to nationally-ranked, Big 12 opponents, OSU returns to BPS this weekend for a showdown with West Virginia.

On Monday, Coach Gundy and some Cowboys talked about the week ahead.
