Oklahoma State’s season record has dropped below .500 for the second time this year after Saturday’s eight-point loss to No. 1 Baylor, and the Cowboys will try to correct that at Kansas State on Tuesday.
Tipoff will be at 8 p.m. in Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kansas. Point guard Isaac Likekele will be back in the same arena with Kansas State coach Bruce Weber for the first time since earning a gold medal for USA Basketball in the FIBA U19 World Cup.
Likekele averaged 8.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game during the World Cup with Weber as the head coach. OSU coach Mike Boynton said he believes that experience helped boost Likekele’s confidence heading into this year.
“I’m sure that Isaac never thought of playing for USA Basketball when he first came to college,” Boynton said. “And then to have the opportunity and go play well and have somebody who’s coached in a national championship game look him in the eye and say I believe in you and you can help us win a gold medal. And then for that to play itself out the way it did is something I’m sure helped his confidence.”

“I usually try to be pretty mild-mannered,” Boynton said on Monday. “But at that point, I thought it was important for our players to know that I’m going to have their backs and stand up for them when I feel like it’s necessary and I certainly thought it was necessary.”
