Tuesday afternoon the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference announced a basketball challenge series which will take place during the upcoming 2013-14 season. The challenge will consist of ten games...
Oklahoma State is hoping to make a push towards the top of the conference this weekend, while the Sooners are looking to maintain at least a share of the lead in the Big 12 standings. OU will get at least get boost from the return of Dillon Overton.
Smart will return to Oklahoma State for a sophomore season despite a report that he was considering entering the draft.
The freshman guard initially said he would return to Oklahoma State for another season, but he may be having second thoughts, a report says.
Smart's decision to return to school affects the Magic's Draft plans, one analyst says, because Orlando would have at least considered using the first overall pick on him.
A report indicates that the guard has decided to return for a sophomore season in Stillwater.
Smart could have been a top-five pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Instead, he'll spend at least one more season in college.
