Pokes fans will never forget that 1995 OSU men’s hoops team
and the magical run they took us on 30 years ago.

The first episode is OUT NOW on OSUMax.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Sunday Night Showdown. In a rivalry that dates back to when Dwight D. Eisenhower was in office, things can be a little heated.
That heat will be turned up yet again as the second-ranked Cowboys make the trip to Iowa City to do battle with #3 Iowa for the 58th meeting between the two programs.
OSU holds the slight edge in the overall series, but have not come back from Iowa with a victory since 2012.
Coach Taylor and the squad are looking to wrap up an undefeated regular season, which would be the first since 2021 for OSU and 48th overall.
🔼 Back To Work. Pretty clear through the first two weeks of the season that Coach Gajewski isn’t going to back away from a challenge.
Through the first nine games of the season, OSU has played six top-25 opponents, four of those were ranked in the top-10 nationally. That loaded slate has given the Cowgirls the toughest schedule in the country through the first two weeks.
Now, OSU is back on the road, this time heading to Conway, Ark. for three games over Sunday and Monday on the campus of Central Arkansas.
