Oklahoma State takes on TCU facing tough hill for tourney bid

Oklahoma State coach Steve Lutz knows his Cowboys must make the most of all their remaining games to have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021.

The hill they must climb starts Saturday when the Cowboys (16-8, 4-7 Big 12) face TCU (15-9, 5-6) in a Big 12 game in Stillwater, Okla.

Oklahoma State only has one road win in the Big 12 since Lutz took over last season. Three of the Cowboys' last seven games are on the road and two of the remaining home games are against No.
