Oklahoma State super-senior forward Patrick Suemnick is coming off his best game of the season following the death of his grandfather.

Why the Buffs lost: CU committed 16 turnovers and allowed Oklahoma State to grab 13 offensive rebounds, which the Cowboys turned into 22 second-chance points. 1. OSU’s Bryce Thompson. Shared the team lead with 15 points and drew a team-high eight fouls from the Buffs while finishing 7-for-9 at the free throw line.

The Cowboys (9-5, 1-2 Big 12) will visit the Utes (8-6, 0-3) at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City. The Pokes are coming off a 79-66 win over Kansas State on Tuesday, the first Big 12 win of the Steve Lutz era. For OSU, this is the beginning of a two-game swing through Utah, also set to play at BYU at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
