Oklahoma State gets one final preseason test Tuesday at Wisconsin before the regular season begins. The Cowboys are looking to build on a 93-85 exhibition win over Tulsa, while assessing a roster still affected by injuries. Wisconsin is also undefeated in exhibition play and offers a high-major challenge on its home court.

By the Numbers
  • Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 6 p.m. CT, at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
  • OSU is 1-1 in exhibitions; Wisconsin is 2-0.
  • Kashie Natt averaged 18 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals through two exhibitions.
  • Wisconsin went 15-2 at home last season and finished 24-11 overall.
  • A single-game B1G+ pass costs $8.99.
Yes, But

OSU’s win over Tulsa showed offensive progress: the Cowboys shot 63.5% from the field and dominated the paint, 50-18. But injuries have limited the team’s preseason rotations: frontcourt players Parsa Fallah, Mekhi Ragland and Jordan Burks have yet to play, while starting point guard Kanye Clary missed the Tulsa game.

State of Play
  • Natt led OSU’s win over Tulsa with 26 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists and five steals.
  • Wisconsin’s Nolan Winter anchors the frontcourt; newcomer Owen Foxwell has averaged 16.5 points and 6 assists in two exhibitions.
  • The exhibition does not count toward the official series record between the teams.
What’s Next

OSU opens the regular season Nov. 2 at Gallagher-Iba Arena, facing Incarnate Word after the Cowgirls play Southern. Tuesday’s exhibition is the Cowboys’ last opportunity to evaluate the roster before games count.

Bottom Line

Wisconsin is a meaningful final tuneup for a Cowboys team coming off a strong offensive showing but still managing key absences. The main test is whether OSU can carry its progress into a tougher road matchup.
