Cowboys’ NCAA Tournament chances still alive CA ME RON JO U R DA N Sports Editor @CAM _JOUR DAN

Mike Boynton doesn’t like to look at things in the future, but he knows how big Saturday’s win was.

The Oklahoma State men’s basketball team revitalized its chances at making the NCAA Tournament after its victory against Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. The Cowboys won their second game in Lawrence, Kansas, in the past six seasons. Kansas has lost only six home games combined in that span.

The win gave OSU three wins against three ranked opponents – Kansas, Oklahoma and Florida State – and it’s a bonus the Cowboys were able to win in Lawrence because of how difficult it is to win there.

It’s going to be hard to continue to win and find its way into the tournament, but OSU’s resume isn’t too shabby, especially because it plays in the Big 12.

With those victories, the Cowboys also defeated Texas at home. OSU’s worst loss is against Kansas State, according to KenPom.com, a college basketball website and statistical archive.

Even with the victories, Boynton doesn’t want to look to the future because he knows the Cowboys can’t look past any opponent in the Big 12.

“When’s Baylor play?”

Boynton said. “That’s who we’ve got next. I need to watch them. I’m gonna do what I always do. First of all, try to learn from this, figure out what things we need to correct and get better at, try to get our

guys to refocus on the next opportunity.”

Even after the win Saturday, OSU needs to take care of its home slate and pull off a couple road upsets if it wants to get in the tournament come March.

OSU’s remaining home schedule consists of Baylor, Kansas State, Texas Tech and Kansas. OSU is 1-3 against those teams, though the Cowboys led at halftime against Baylor, K-State and Tech.

Tech is tied with Kansas at 7-3 atop the conference standings. Baylor is tied for last at 3-7 with Iowa State, which the Cowboys play in Ames, Iowa on Feb. 27. K-State is in the middle of the pack, at 5-5, tied with Texas.

OSU has to travel to West Virginia, Texas, TCU and ISU in its remaining games. The Cowboys are 2-2 against the group, winning against the Longhorns and Cyclones.

OSU’s best chance to get in the tournament would be to win at least four of its final eight games, and winning five games would give OSU a

9-9 conference record, which would almost guarantee the Cowboys a ticket to the dance.

But OSU has yet to win consecutive conference games, something it’ll have to do to make it to March. Although the Cowboys know they have to win a lot of games down the stretch, sophomore Cameron McGriff said they have to focus on one game at a time, even after the thrilling victory at Kansas.

“It was exciting, but we have a game in two days,” McGriff said. “We have to prepare for that.”

Smith silences Kansas crowd in upset victory m ar sh all s c ott print editor @ M ar shall_ on c e

LAWRENCE, Kan. — In a one-possession game, Kendall Smith stepped to the line for a one-and-one and got to silence the Allen Fieldhouse crowd a final time.

In Oklahoma State’s 84-79 victory against No. 7 Kansas on Saturday, Smith iced the game with a pair of free throws after missing the front end of a one-and-one seconds earlier.

The victory was the first true road win of OSU’s season.

“I think you’ve just got to be a competitor and be confident,” Smith said. “I’m going to keep coming and keep stay-

ing relentless and keep trusting that the other four guys on the court will do everything in their power to put me in position. ” Smith finished Saturday’s game with a game-high 24 points to go with five assists and five rebounds.

The game’s final points weren’t the first time Smith silenced the Kansas (18-5 overall, 7-3 Big 12) faithful.

With 6:14 left in the first half, the 16,300 who packed into Allen Fieldhouse came to their feet as Kansas pulled within seven points of the Cowboys. On OSU’s next possession, though, Smith hit a big 3-pointer from the right

wing before turning around and holding a finger to his lips.

“Having coached him now for 22, 23 games, he’s shown that he wants to be in those moments,” OSU coach Mike Boynton said. “He wants the ball. He’s taken a lot of big

shots for us.”

The Cowboys (14-9, 4-6) took a 46-33 lead into halftime, but that wasn’t anything new.

OSU has led at the half in four of its five true road games, yet Saturday was the first time

the Cowboys closed the game out.

In the first half, OSU had 13 offensive rebounds that led to 22 second-chance points.

The Jayhawks had only seven second-chance points in the game.

OSU outrebounded KU 41-28, which dealt a lot with the Jayhawks playing with four guards.

“They were just better than us today right from the jump,” KU coach Bill Self said.

“So much more athletic and quicker and more competitive.

“We got what we deserved.”

Any time a team can win a game against Kansas, especially in Kansas’ building,

it’s a big deal. However, the Cowboys are still fighting for a spot in the NCAA Tournament in what many think is the toughest conference in basketball. When asked about how long he is going to enjoy the moment, Boynton looked down at his watch and asked what time Baylor, OSU’s next opponent, played.

“It was exciting, but we have a game in (three) days,” OSU forward Cam McGriff said.

“We have to prepare for that.”

Bart Kensinger and his dog Kora take a break at Stillwaggin’ Dog Park at 801 W. 11th Ave.

2 cases of parvovirus traced to local dog park s ta ff r epo rt @ o c olly

Western Veterinary Hospital announced on a Facebook post Friday that it recently had two confirmed cases of parvovirus at its clinic, and both were traced back to Stillwater’s only dog park, Stillwaggin’.

The clinic encouraged dog owners to avoid Stillwaggin’ until further notice. The O’Colly reached out to Stillwaggin’ but didn’t get a response as of 1 p.m. Sunday. But as of Sunday, the dog park

was still open.

Western Veterinary Hospital’s post stated that both cases of parvovirus occurred within the past week. It went on to say that if your dog has been to the park within that time frame and has shown symptoms of parvovirus, such as decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting or diarrhea, then you should immediately call a vet clinic to schedule an appointment.

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious virus that can affect all dogs, but unvaccinated dogs

and puppies younger than four months old are the most at risk.

Parvovirus can also contaminate kennel surfaces, food and water bowls, collars, leashes and the hands and clothing of people who handle infected dogs. It is resistant to heat, cold, humidity and drying, and can survive in the environment for long periods of time, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association’s website.
