About this episode

Oklahoma State Basketball Eyes Bill Self: A Potential Game-Changer

On March 26th, Oklahoma State basketball could soon chase one of college hoops all-time grades. Bill Self. The 63-year-old Kansas coach has fueled retirement talk amid health struggles and his team's recent buzzer-beater loss to St. John's Inn. March Madness. Self. A two-time national champ with a title as recent as 2022 might step away from Lawrence after dominating the Big 12 for years. Here this year, when the Cowboys' job opened up, they seriously eyed Self, his alma-moder coach. Tensions at Kansas have only grown since their early tournament exit, leaving his future unclear despite his denials of hanging it up right now. Fans and insiders see Self as a game-changer for Stillwater, easily topping anyone there since Eddie Sudden left two decades ago. His track record screams, instead revival for a program needing a boost, even if it means a big buyout and quick success plan. Right now, Steve lets Lease the Cowboys after two seasons of Modestep's Ford, but results on the court's stay-thin.

Officials seem set to stick with him this off-season, unless a star like Self hits the market. If Self wants back to his roots and Oklahoma State plays his cards right, this could reshape Cowboy basketball for years to come.
