(STILLWATER, Oklahoma / October 29, 2018) – Head coach Mike Boynton and the Oklahoma State basketball team have agreed to a four-year hardwood series with regional-rival Wichita State.
The Shockers will visit Gallagher-Iba Arena in 2019 and 2021 and the Cowboys will make return trips to Wichita in 2020 and 2022. The 2020 matchup will take place at Intrust Bank Arena, a 15,004-seat venue in downtown Wichita. The site of the 2022 matchup in Wichita will be announced at a later date.
Only 125 miles separate the two schools, which have shared a rivalry dating back to 1934. The Cowboys lead the series, 30-9, including a 15-3 edge in Stillwater. OSU has taken five of the last seven meetings dating back to 1991.
