Isaac Likekele - 11 points in loss to WVU Likekele amassed 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 70-60 loss to West Virginia.

Impact Likekele were one of just two Cowboys to score in double figures on Tuesday. Likekele is averaging a career-low 7.5 points per contest, but is also putting up 6.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.6 steals. The Cowboys have a quick turnaround to face off against Texas Tech on Thursday who is coming off big wins over Kansas and Baylor.

Kalib Boone - Returns to action Boone chipped in two points (1-4 FG) and three rebounds across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 70-60 loss to West Virginia.

Impact Boone (coach's decision) returned to action after missing Saturday's game, playing 12 minutes off the bench for Oklahoma State. The 6-foot-9 center has contributed eight points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks on 14 minutes per game this season, (while shooting 56.5 percent from the field). Oklahoma State will take on Texas Tech on Thursday and Boone will look to continue to contribute with his efficient scoring and paint defense.

Chris Harris - Still sitting out Harris (knee) did not take the court in Saturday's 64-51 victory over Texas.

Impact Harris has been warming up with the team since mid-December, and while it's unclear if he was affected by the recent COVID outbreak, he still hasn't taken the court this season for the Cowboys. His last full season was 2019-20, where he started three games in 22 appearances, averaging 3.4 points across 15.0 minutes. Oklahoma State is definitely deep in the backcourt, so it's possible Harris hasn't cracked the rotation yet despite his experience in the program. His next chance to play will be Tuesday at West Virginia.

Bernard Kouma - Doesn't see court Kouma (COVID-19 protocol) did not take the court in Saturday's 64-51 victory over Texas.

Impact Kouma appeared to be out of health and safety protocols due to the fact he was spotted warming up, but it seems the 6-10 forward just isn't a regular rotation player at this time. He's only appeared in five games so far this season, averaging 1.4 points in 2.4 minutes across those appearances.

Kalib Boone - Healthy scratch against Longhorns Boone (coach's decision) did not take the court in Saturday's 64-51 victory over Texas.

Impact According to Hallie Hart of the Stillwater News Press, coach Mike Boynton relayed to media after the game that Tyreek Smith earned the chance over Boone because he had practiced better of late. Smith ended up seeing 10 minutes off the bench, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two turnovers. This was a bit out of left field considering Boone had started three straight games, but it ended up being Moussa Cisse who reclaimed his job as the starting center Saturday. It remains unclear what type of alignment the Cowboys will use Tuesday against West Virginia, but it may not be safe to bet on any frontcourt option in the short term.

Bryce Williams - 11 points in fourth start in a row Williams registered 11 points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes during Saturday's 64-51 victory over Texas.

Impact Williams has now started the last four games and is averaging 16.0 points, 2.8 steals, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers over that stretch. He should remain one of Oklahoma State's better offensive options until further notice.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keylan Boone - Puts in 17 points off bench Boone recorded 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds and one block in 27 minutes during Saturday's 64-51 win over Texas.

Impact Boone led all scorers in the contest and his 17 points were a career high for the junior. Boone has yet to start a game this season, but performances like this will make head coach Mike Boynton think a little harder. Boone is now averaging 6.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.3 three-pointers per game this season.

JANUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Avery Anderson - Contributes across board in win Anderson had eight points (2-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 64-51 victory over Texas.

Impact Anderson did not have his best shooting game, but was able to get involved in other categories. The rising junior is now averaging 11.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.1 three-pointers per contest. He will look to heat up as we get further into conference play.

Bernard Kouma - Slated to be available Saturday Kouma (COVID-19 protocols) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Texas, Marshall Scott of Pistols Firing reports.

Impact Kouma's return should shore up the bench depth up front but he's unlikely to see more than a handful of minutes moving forward barring a rash of absences up front.

Chris Harris - Cleared to play Saturday Harris (knee) has been cleared to take the floor Saturday versus Texas, Eli Lederman of the Tulsa World reports.

Impact Harris hasn't appeared in a game this season and saw action in just one game last year, but he averaged 15.0 minutes per contest as a freshman back in 2019-20. Given the length of his absence from a knee injury, Harris will likely face minutes restrictions for a while but could eventually work his way back into a decent role.

Moussa Cisse - Active Tuesday Cisse (personal) returned to action recording eight points (2-6 FG, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and four blocks in Tuesday's 74-63 loss to Kansas.

Impact Cisse played 26 minutes off the bench for the Cowboys in his return and was crucial to Oklahoma State's interior defense, swatting away four shots. Cisse has been a key piece for the Cowboys, putting up 5.9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 17.3 minutes per game, and he will look to continue this defensive vigor moving forward.

Bernard Kouma - Misses out Tuesday Kouma wasn't available for Tuesday's game against Texas, Cody Nagel of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact There were reportedly COVID-19 concerns surrounding the Cowboys, but it appears Kouma was the only player unavailable for the contest. His next chance to suit up surfaces Saturday against Texas.

Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe - Rejoins starting five Moncrieffe is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

JANUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Donovan Williams - Not starting Tuesday Williams won't start Tuesday's game against Kansas, Jacob Unruh of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Williams started the past two games but averaged only 13.0 minutes in those contests. He'll presumably be available off the bench Tuesday since there's been no announcement of an injury.
