Oklahoma State's resume presents significant challenges for a tournament bid. Key victories over teams like Kansas State and Miami offer some hope, but losses to Houston, West Virginia, and notably the blowout against Florida Atlantic raise questions about their competitiveness against top-tier opponents. A troubling inconsistency shows through in their performance; despite strong offensive displays against lower-ranked teams, their defense has struggled significantly against stronger competition. As they approach crucial matchups against Arizona and Texas Tech, they have opportunities to bolster their standing, but their failure to secure victories in these games could further diminish their chances. Consistent performances and a few high-profile wins are essential for them to remain in tournament conversation.
