OKLAHOMA STATE Cowboys
The Cowboys of Coach Hank Iba, better known to Kentucky tans as the Aggies who taced the Wildcats twice in national tournament play, make their debut in the UKIT labeled as a teared cage power despite a lack of desirable experience. In his silver anniversary season at Oklahoma State, Iba can call on only one regular from last season's NCAA quarter finalists, but 6-8 pivotman Arlen Clark makes up for a lot of missing experience. The cagey mentor also boasts a good pool of holdovers of less spectacular brand and some highly promising sophs who should make OSU hard to handle by any opponent. Oklahoma State has a reputation for toughness in tournament play stemming from two NCAA championships and 14 Missouri Valley titles in 23 years as a member of that conference. Coach Iba's personal record, one of the finest in the sport, includes 619 collegiate triumphs.
