When you think Oklahoma State, you think Halloween, for the most part. But you can find something blue if you look less on the literal level, and more on the metaphorical grade. After outlasting Iowa State in overtime, the Cowboys demonstrated that a ranked opponent will find no easy game at Gallagher-Iba. So maybe it will be OSU opponents who will be blue. An arena doesn t put balls through the hoop.
Fans don t put balls through hoops.
Pistol Pete will not be putting any balls through hoops. The new Gallagher-Iba will not win games for OSU, but you can argue that it will help. Whether it does or doesn t, however, the building is remarkable. It s a good arena, and OSU should be congratulated. The university has given 7,000 more people a chance to watch a basketball game.
