Will the Pokes Leave the Mean Green Blue?
Of the teams that did not make the NCAA Tournament, only Rutgers, who was bounced in the first round of the NIT by Hofstra, ranks higher than Oklahoma State in adjusted defensive efficiency at KenPom.
Entering today, the Pokes rank 12th in that category, which puts them ahead of ten of the teams that will be playing in the Sweet Sixteen.
That defense came to play against both Youngstown State and Eastern Washington, both of whom rank in the top ten in the country in shooting percentage.
