Expected to be available Thursday Ousmane (not injury related) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against Southern Illinois, Marshall Scott of Pistols Firing reports.

Impact Head coach Steve Lutz confirmed earlier in the week that Ousmane's absence Sunday was because of a violation of team rules. The Xavier transfer started the season opener, posting 16 points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes. Connor Dow got the start in Ousmane's place and only saw 10 minutes, as it's likely the Cowboys reinsert Ousmane back into the starting five to give them some more size.

Out Sunday Ousmane (undisclosed) is out for Oklahoma State's matchup against St. Thomas, per Parker Gerl of The O'Colly.

Impact Ousmane was seen sitting off to the side during warmups and is out for Sunday's game with an undisclosed injury. The senior forward played a big role in the Cowboys' season opener against Green Bay, logging 16 points and eight rebounds. The former Xavier transfer will hope to hasten his recovery and make himself available for Thursday's game against Southern Illinois.

Provides inside punch in team debut Ousmane provided 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Monday's 89-76 victory over Green Bay.

Impact Ousmane put together an impressive line during his first game in Stillwater, including draining just his second career three-pointer. The senior transfer from Xavier started 29 of 34 games for the Muskateers last season, averaging 6.7 points and 6.4 rebounds. While the triple does not likely represent an addition to his game, he should provide a nice inside presence around the rim for Oklahoma State this season.
