Basketball Releases Non-League Schedule
July 13, 2010
Seven home games, including a matchup with Stanford in the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series, highlight Oklahoma State’s 2010-11 men’s basketball non-conference schedule, announced today by head coach Travis Ford.
“Our non-conference schedule will be very competitive this season and prepare us for the league portion of our schedule,” Ford said. “With the Big 12 considered the toughest conference in the country, we want to play teams that will prepare us for winning in the league. The teams on our non-conference schedule are also going to help us achieve a high RPI, which will be helpful when NCAA Tournament time comes around.”
The Cowboys will open the season hosting three-consecutive games inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. OSU will start with a total of five home games, including two exhibition contests which have yet to be determined.

08/15/2010
The Frisco RoughRiders erupted for 17 hits and 11 runs Sunday night and defeated the Tulsa Drillers 11-4 at Dr Pepper Ballpark. The big offensive night from the Riders was keyed by two big innings, a five-run fourth and a four-run sixth.
The loss dropped Tulsa four games behind first-place Northwest Arkansas with only 21 games remaining in the regular season.
The RoughRiders jumped to a 1-0 lead in the second inning with a run off Drillers' starting pitcher Keith Weiser, then extended the margin with their five-run sixth.
The Drillers cut the six-run deficit in half with three runs in the top of the fifth as Lars Davis led off with a single and scored on a double by Warren Schaeffer. Later in the inning, Charlie Blackmon made it 6-3 with a two-run double.
Frisco put the game away with its four-run sixth. Renny Osuna belted a three-run homer, and Emerson Frostad followed with a solo shot to account for the four runs.

Celebrity Coaches Back For Alumni Game
08/11/2010
 In a rematch of the brain trust for the Tulsa Oilers American Airlines Alumni Game, two area television sports directors will again coach in the game, slated for Saturday August 28th at 7 p.m. at the Oilers Ice Center (64th and Mingo).
Chris Lincoln of KTUL-TV channel 8 will again square off against Al Jerkens of KJRH-TV channel 2. Lincoln’s team won last year’s game, a fact that hasn’t been forgotten by either long time sports anchor.
Tickets for the alumni game will be $10 for all general admission seats. Oiler season ticket holders will be admitted early to the Oilers Ice Center, for preferred choice of seats.
The Oilers had the second highest point total increase in the CHL last season under head coach Bruce Ramsay, who was in his first season with the Oilers. They will have 33 home games at the BOK Center in the 2010-11 season, starting on Friday October 15th against the Wichita Thunder.
