(Oklahoma State athletics media relations contributed to this story)

STILLWATER – The location of Oklahoma State’s return game against Northwestern has been announced as the Pokes and Wildcats will play on December 20 over in Tulsa at the BOK Center. 

The game is a part of the Tulsa Hoops Showdown with tipoff time and TV details to be announced at a later date.

This will mark the third time the Pokes will have played at the BOK Center and the first since 2019.

Wrapping up the two-year agreement with Northwestern, the Cowboys won game one last season in Chicago 86-81 on Thanksgiving night. 

The Cowboys will look to build on last year’s 20-win campaign. Veteran point guard Kanye Clary is one of four holdovers, joined by a consensus top-10 high school signing class and a highly-rated transfer group that includes Luka Bogavac (North Carolina), Jordan Burks (UCF), Andrija Grbovic (Arizona State), Julius Halaifonua (Georgetown) and Sam Houston transfers Kashie Natt and Jacob Walker.

Northwestern is entering its 14th season under head coach Chris Collins. The Wildcats made consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances in 2023 and 2024, advancing to the second round both years, and have added 11 newcomers for the upcoming season.

Chicago-based sports marketing and event management agency Intersport will operate the Tulsa Hoops Showdown with support from the Tulsa Sports Commission.
