WednesdAY, JAnuArY 16, 2013 THE DAILY O’COLLEGIAN PAge 3THE REVIVAL
Over that time, Gallagher-Iba Arena and the tradition of OSU basketball lay dormant, failing to meet expectations. It
drove away a once-passionate fan base that longed for the glory days of yesteryear.
In the spring of 2013, that began to change. An exciting team started to win
with an energetic coach, and it won big. A freshman became a star, fans waited in line to attend games and people realized 2004
wasn’t all that long ago.
When Marcus Smart, Markel Brown and Le’Bryan Nash decided to return for an-other year, it seemed the stars aligned.
Now, with the regular season right around the corner, one question remains: Is this
the best Cowboy team since 2004?
By CODY STAVENHAGENSports Reporter
Ten years have passed since Oklahoma State played in the
Final Four.
MARCUS SMARTJOHN LUCAS IIIAs a capable scorer, proficient passer, physical defender and All-
American talent, Smart is OSU’s undoubted leader.Few players of his size had a bigger impact on the court. Lucas was a deadly shooter from any spot and a shut-down defender.
Natural leaders. Playmakers. They’re more than ball handlers; they’re deadly scorers and All-Americans to boot.
G
LE’BRYAN NASHJOEY GRAHAMAt an athletic 6 feet 7 inches and 235 pounds, Nash is a matchup nightmare. A model hybrid; without him, this team loses an edge.
The power on this 2004 team. Graham didn’t just get into posi-tion, he scored. The last agile, powerful big man OSU has had. F
BRIAN WILLIAMSTONY ALLEN An elite-level defender, Williams can guard four positions and
has a presence on offense. Williams gets it done.One of the toughest players to come along in the Eddie Sutton
era. Allen is a legitimate asset on an NBA starting lineup.
If defense wins championships, Allen and Williams are the heart of a winning team. They’re comfortable as the go-to man each night.
G
MARKEL BROWNDANIEL BOBIKA rare combination of uncanny leaping ability and deadly long-
range shooting, Brown is the team’s most efficient offensive player.If Allen was the toughest, Bobik was the grittiest. He started all
but one game in 2004 and was an excellent help-defender.
There’s no way to measure what these overlooked players add to their teams. At the end of the game, they have trusted hands.
G
MICHAEL COBBINSIVAN MCFARLINA lengthy center known for his shot-blocking, Cobbins is also a threat to score inside and has steadily improved over his career.
Mr. Everything. One of three at OSU to leave with 1,000 points, 700 rebounds, 100 steals and 100 blocked shots.
Fan favorites. Team players. Each has showed the moxy that holds teams together through the challenging games.
F

Injuries. Transfers. Young teams. Bad luck.
When it comes to explana-tions for Oklahoma State bas-ketball underachieving, Travis Ford’s tenure has covered it all.
In some cases, those reasons have been mer-ited, but this time around, there’s no room for excuses.
Entering a new sea-son, Ford is living a dream.
He has an all-world point guard in Marcus Smart, a pure scoring threat in Markel
Brown, a dominant talent in Le’Bryan Nash and an in-side force in Michael Cobbins.
Throw in a deep bench and a number of young guns ready to take their games to a higher level, and it wouldn’t be surpris-ing to see Ford pinch himself on the sidelines, making sure it’s real.
Even last season, OSU showed it could be as good as any team in the nation on a given night.
However, for at least the third consecutive year, the team fell short of its full potential, mak-ing an early exit in the confer-ence tournament and an even earlier one in the NCAA Tour-nament after losing to No. 12-seed Oregon in the Round of 64.
But given that 24-9 year as a stepping-stone, there’s no excusable reason for this year’s team to underachieve.
Philip Jurick and Kirby Gard-ner are the only key players gone.
Smart, Brown and Nash are back, Brian Williams is healthy and players like Phil Forte and Kamari Murphy have meaning-ful experience under their belts.
And that’s precisely why Ford has to win with this squad — it’s just too good on paper to fail.
If this team fails to go deep into the NCAA Tournament, it’s on Ford, and athletic direc-tor Mike Holder will have a difficult decision on his hands.
That’s not to say Ford’s re-cruiting and enthusiasm hasn’t unearthed a forgotten energy around OSU basketball — it has.
It’s not to say he can’t develop players because Cobbins and
Brown are prime examples of vast improvement over their careers.
It’s not to call Ford a bad coach, either, because for all the criticism he’s faced, it’s hard to deny the good he’s done.
But after recent sea-sons riddled with let-downs, it can’t happen again.
Not this timeNot with this team. This season, Ford’s legacy at
OSU may well be on the line.With another letdown, his ten-
ure could come to a screeching halt.With a triumph, it could
be only getting started.
The 2013-14 Oklahoma State basketball season will be one of expectation.
The Cowboys are expected to win a lot. They’re expected to compete for, maybe even win, a Big 12 championship.
Marcus Smart is expected to, somehow, be better than he was last season. A program that has not won an NCAA Tournament game since defeating Tennessee in 2009 and has not reached the Sweet Sixteen since 2005 is ex-
pected to make a deep postsea-son run.
Expectations are higher than any undergrad on campus can remember. But the hype and excitement for this season has started from the bottom. No one expects more from the team than those who wear the uni-form.
“Final Four, I keep saying that, but that’s just how we feel right now,” forward Le’Bryan Nash said. “That’s what is driv-ing all of us.”
Smart surprised many by opt-ing for one more year at OSU
rather than being a sure-fire top-5 pick in this past June’s NBA Draft. He decision was made easier by the bond he has with his teammates and likelihood of winning games this season.
“We are a very special group here, and the brotherhood on this team is stronger than it’s ever been, even moreso than last year,” Smart said. “There are a lot of expectations behind us.”
Coach Travis Ford brings to the court the top three returning scorers in the Big 12.
Smart, Nash and Markel Brown each averaged about
15 points per game last season. Add in Phil Forte’s 10.2 points a game, and it’s clear OSU will have no problem putting the ball in the basket.
“It gives us a lot of confidence, especially with the new rules this year,” Brown said. “Offense is going to be the focal point of this team. Anyone on this team can go off, and that’s what makes this team so special.”
Bench players will have roles to play in the team’s success. Players like Kamari Murphy and Forte will have to provide a spark to the team off the bench,
and newcomers Stevie Clark, Leyton Hammonds, Jeffery Carroll and Gary Gaskins will have to be key contributors for maximum success.
Every team has an X-Factor, someone whose play may not make headlines but is vital to the team’s success. Markel Brown said this year’s X-Factor will be Brian Williams.
Williams, a redshirt junior, has made a name for himself in Stillwater for his athleticism.
“Brian does a lot of stuff for this team that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet,”
Brown said. “He plays great defense and brings toughness to this team.”

An induction into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame will bring a Stillwater R&B group together in Tul-sa 46 years after separating.
The Shadow Lake Eight, a group that formed in Stillwater in the 1960s, was most well-known for playing at parties, accord-ing to the group’s website.
Kent Washburn, horns player, vocalist and leader of the group from 1962-67, ex-plained how the group got its name in a phone interview.
“A guy named Jimmy
had an idea to start a group and go up to play a show at Shadow Lake in Missouri, and they did that and be-came known as the Shadow Lake Eight,” Washburn said.
The Shadow Lake Eight played mostly cover songs, but they recorded a few that weren’t cov-ers, Washburn sa id.
The group was togeth-er f rom 1960 to 1967.
The group’s demise and disbanding was because of the V iet-nam War, according the group’s websi te.
The group’s musical in-fluences were Ray Charles,
Bill Doggett and Count Basie, Washburn said.
Washburn, a 1965 OSU graduate, majored in music and minored in business.
“We performed in all kinds of places, includ-ing in front of the Star-light Terrace where the Howdy Dance took place every year, in the Student Union, before and after Varsity Review shows and even in Gallagher hall one time,” Washburn said.
“Our band was the host of tons of soror-ity and fraternity parties.”

Cages and Blood: A discussionProfessor talks history of how
wartime affects certain animals in zoos.
ASHLEY BAKER/O’COLLEGIANJohn Kinder (left) discusses the impact that wartime has on zoos during Wednesday night’s presentation.
Stillwater group inducted into Hall of Fame
COURTESY OF KENT WASHBURNThe Shadow Lake Eight group will be welcomed into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in November. See FAME Page 4
The idea of a zoo generally renders im-ages of a family-friendly showcase of humans’ fa-vorite exotic imports.
Still, zoos have a darker side that was called into question Wednesday af-ternoon during John Kinder’s presentation, Cages and Blood: War and Animal Exhibition in the Western World.
The history professor presented his research and outlined the tumultuous relationship between hu-man zookeepers and their animals. Using archived photos and historical story-telling, Kinder highlighted the neglect and abuse zoo animals have often faced throughout history, particu-larly during times of war.
“For me, what he did was allow me to think about zoos differently than I nor-mally would,” said Richard Rohrs, a history profes-
sor at OSU. “I had never necessarily thought of zoos in terms of this idea of the interrelationship between zoos and war. And then how often zoos have been used by the United States as a means of us expanding our influence both cultur-ally as well as economically.”
Kinder said he hoped to give the audience a per-spective on the zoo they had never heard before.
“I wanted to tell them a bit of history on zoos that they had never contem-plated, but also to kind of show them how war leaves its mark on sometimes the most seemingly innocuous institutions, like the zoo.”
Kinder’s research, though historically rel-evant, touched on a subject that remains applicable to a majority of students study-ing other subjects at OSU.
“To me, it’s really inter-esting because it appeals to a broad number of people,” Rohrs said. “We have a vet school here. We have the
Department of Zoology — people in agriculture.”
Kinder’s presentation, conversely, not only offered an opportunity for audi-ence members to learn a little bit about the history
of zoos, but also allowed Kinder to receive feed-back on the information he plans to use in his book.
“I thought it was good feedback,” Kinder said. “I mean, it’s always good to
get a sense of what’s work-ing, what’s not working, what’s persuasive, what I need to go back to the table and spend a little more time on. This is what I always tell my students — that all of
your professors go through revision and receive critical feedback. So what I’m doing for you is exactly what I get when I present my work.”

Wednesday’s Puzzle SolvedBy Gerry Wildenberg 10/31/13

Washburn said this No-vember’s induction is fitting and described The Shadow Lake Eight as local legends.
“This induction is a culmi-nation of the group through-out the years and being able
to be part of Oklahoma mu-sic history as local legends,” Washburn said. “We played at the Cimarron Ballroom.”
The group will play a 45 minute piece at the Hall of Fame induction Nov. 16 in Tulsa, Walshburn said.
Jerry Spray, a horns player for The Shadow Lake Eight, is now living in Alabama and said he’s excited to back in Oklahoma for this induc-tion in a phone interview.
“I’ve heard some of the peo-
ple we went to school with are going to be there so it’s going to be a great time,” Spray said.
Five of the original Shadow Lake Eight are still living; Eric Estep, gui-tar player Bill Wallace and trumpet player Barry Wheeler are dead, Spray said.
Tickets for the induc-tion ceremony are $100 and can be ordered by phone at 918-281-8609.

America’s brightest or-ange is shining bright enough to get the atten-tion of college surveys.
Oklahoma State Uni-versity was ranked 15th on the list of the 20 happiest four-year colleges in the na-tion by thedailybeast.com.
In order to create a ranking system, they considered the full-time freshman retention rate provided by the National Center for Education Statis-tics, according to the website.
The other contributing factors were overall student experience, whether stu-dents would do it all over again and the quality of the student health cen-ter, according to College Prowler’s student surveys.
OSU’s full-time freshman retention rate — freshman who come back after their first year — was 80 percent, according to the website.
For “Best Overall Stu-dent Experience,” OSU was scored at a 9.6 out of 10, ac-cording to thedailybeast.com
For “Best Student Health Center,” OSU received a score of 9.2 out of 10.
OSU received a score of 10 out of 10 in the category of whether students would do their college experi-ence at OSU all over again.
Jordan Mixon is an en-vironmental science senior from Harrah, Oklahoma. Mixon said he grew up a Cowboy at heart before choosing to attend OSU.
“Heck yeah I’d do it all over again,” Mixon said. “I’ve had the time of my life here at OSU. I don’t think I would change anything at all if I could do it again. It ’s been a fun ride, and I’m defi-nitely going to miss OSU.”
Some students come from farther away to attend OSU.
Jake Krause is a finance sophomore from Southlake, Texas. Krause said he came to OSU in large part because of the friendly atmosphere and attractive campus.
“It ’s that southern hos-pitality,” Krause said. “People around here are always really friendly, and it makes the school more inviting to freshmen.
“I might change a few things I did during my
freshman year, but over-all I would have to say I’ve had a good experi-ence at OSU,” Krause said.
Director of Communica-tions Gary Shutt said the university deserves to be in the top 20 happiest colleges.
Shutt said he can clearly see why people would rank OSU in the 20 happiest colleges.
“It confirms what any-one who has attended OSU will tell you,” Shutt said. “It ’s a great place to get an education and great college experience. One-hundred percent of the people sur-veyed said they would do it all over again. It doesn’t get any happier than that.”
As an OSU alum-nus, Shutt said he might change a few things, but he is thankful for what OSU has helped him achieve.
“I had a great experience here, and I met a lot of great people who have helped me move forward in my career, but I also met the friends that I still have to this day while attending OSU,” Shutt said.

An Army National Guard member is looking to tell his first-hand story of the good, the bad and the ugly that is war.
At Wednesday’s Student Government Association meeting, Eran Lamar, who has been in the Guard since 2008, asked to help spread the word of a documentary he is in the process of making.
The project will tell an hon-est and realistic depiction of his deployment in 2011 and 2012 in the Middle East, he said. Although Lamar needs about $75,000 to produce, edit and correctly shoot the documentary, he was not asking for money — but in-stead, support for the project.
