Rhode Island Rams
The Oklahoma State Cowboys recently secured a significant conference win over Kansas State, but despite that victory, they remain in last place in the conference standings. With a record of 2-7 in league play, they currently trail West Virginia by one game in their quest to climb out of the basement. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, their upcoming schedule includes three consecutive games against ranked opponents, namely #4 Houston, #23 Oklahoma, and #22 BYU. In their win against Kansas State, guard Javon Small played a key role, leading the team with 18 points. Small, a 6'3 junior guard, is the leading scorer for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, averaging 13.9 points per game. He has proven to be an adept shooter, making 46 three-pointers at a shooting percentage of 40.4% from beyond the arc. Small also contributes significantly in other areas, with averages of 5.1 rebounds per game and 4.8 assists per game. Notably, he had an outstanding performance in the team's other win over West Virginia, recording 15 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists. The team's only other player scoring in double figures is Bryce Thompson, but he is currently sidelined indefinitely due to a shoulder injury. As a result, the 6'8 freshman forward Eric Dailey Jr. is the second-highest scorer for the Cowboys, averaging 9.5 points per game while also contributing 4.9 rebounds per game. Additionally, John-Michael Wright, a 6'1 senior guard, is averaging 7.5 points per game but will be relied upon to score more in Thompson's absence. In terms of overall rankings, the Oklahoma State Cowboys are currently ranked 123rd according to KenPom. They rank 179th in offensive efficiency and 87th in defensive efficiency. Their playing style reflects a slower pace, as they play at the 218th fastest tempo in college basketball. In contrast, the NCAA Tournament projections by Joe Lunardi do not include Oklahoma State as one of the 14 teams from the Big 12 advancing. The injury report reveals that Bryce Thompson is currently out of the lineup due to a shoulder injury. Shifting focus to Rhode Island, they currently hold a power ranking of 343. Offensively, they are ranked 206th, averaging 73.38 points per game. On the defensive end, they are ranked 287th, allowing Team effort. 5️⃣ Cowboys in double figures yesterday 🔥 #LetsWork pic.twitter.com/PUN8qRnABx
