Oklahoma State will travel to the Metroplex to face North Texas as a part of Hoop Hype XL College Basketball Showcase on Nov. 13..
In December, OSU will play a pair of road games at Marquette (Dec. 1), as a part of the Big 12/Big East Battle, and at Wichita State (Dec. 12). The Cowboys will once again compete in the Charleston Classic. Starting on Nov. 19 at TD Arena, the Charleston Classic field includes Florida State, the regular season ACC champions, the American Athletic Conference Champions, Houston, as well as Big East power Seton Hall, Penn State, Tennessee, VCU and Charleston.
