Watch: Mike Boynton Discusses Upcoming Road Game Against Baylor

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is set to hit the road for a Big 12 showdown against the Baylor Bears (11-5 overall, 1-3 Big 12 play) on Saturday, January 14.

Tipoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2.

Cowboy head coach Mike Boynton met with the media on Thursday to discuss the Pokes’ 65-57 loss to No. 11 Kansas State on Tuesday, as well as the upcoming matchup against the Bears.

“The guys stayed together,” Boynton said of the team following the K-State game. “For me, it’s about continuing to push them because this time of year, we’re 16 games in, it becomes hard to stay focused every single day on the grind. If you start to look at the schedule in it’s totality, it’s like — sh*t. Excuse my French, but when do we get a break? And there’s not one. There’s not one on there; It takes the coaches to continue to push those buttons to say, ‘Hey, if we want to do this, there’s no way out. You gotta go through.’ There’s no outs, there’s no one to save you. You gotta go through it, and you gotta deal with it every single day. You gotta watch the teams around the league and see that everybody’s dealing with the same stuff.

“[Practice] was intense. It was probably a little more confrontational today, but that’s OK.”
