Oklahoma State fired longtime head coach Mike Gundy Tuesday following the program’s first home loss to Tulsa since 1951. The Bears will look to win their first Big 12 game against the Cowboys Saturday.
In a fast-paced world where “influence” is king, sometimes the greatest service we can render to our fellow man isn’t our advice, but our questions. All we want is to feel heard, to have influence, to feel needed. But when my speaking, influencing and importance come up against the teachings of Jesus, the choice is clear. I must cede to the one who died for me.

JJ White is a strong passer and finisher, leading the Summit League with 4.0 assists per game and shooting 53.9% from inside the arc, the highest mark among Omaha’s top six scorers.

For the first time since the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 season, Baylor men’s basketball finished with an offense ranked outside the top 100. Head coach Scott Drew isn’t about to let that happen again.
