Coach Mike Boynton just finished his second season as the Head Coach at OSU. With six wins over ranked opponents in his first season, including a school-record four top-10 victories, it’s safe to say the foundation has been laid for Mike Boynton’s brand of basketball at Oklahoma State.

Built on the mantra, “Let’s Work,” the 2017-18 Cowboys tied the school record with 15 home wins, advanced to the third round of the NIT and posted six victories over Sweet 16 squads. In Boynton’s first season at the helm, OSU notched 21 wins and became the first team since 2001 to sweep a regular-season series with Kansas.
