Steve Lutz’s first nonconference schedule is coming together.
Oklahoma State on Tuesday announced the Cowboys are set to complete in the Charleston Classic, playing games on Nov. 21, 22 and 24 at TD Arena in Charleston, South Carolina. Drake, Florida Atlantic, Miami, Nevada, Seton Hall, Vanderbilt and VCU are the other teams that will join the Pokes in Charleston. Matchups, times and TV information will be announced at a later date.
The field includes four teams that were in the NCAA Tournament last season in FAU, Nevada and Drake. Seton Hall, meanwhile, won the NIT, and VCU made the quarterfinals in the NIT. OSU is one of four programs in the field that will be under a new coach with Lutz and the Cowboys joining Drake (Ben McCollum), FAU (John Jakus) and Vanderbilt (Mark Byington).
The event is in its 16th year. OSU came third in the event in 2015. The Cowboys beat Towson that year before falling to George Mason and finishing with a win against Long Beach State. Chris Olivier scored in double figures in all three of those games, averaging 16 points a game while coming off the bench.
The Pokes even more recently played in the arena, going on the road and beating College of Charleston in 2019, 73-54 off the back of a 21-point night from Thomas Dziagwa, who went 7-for-10 from 3.
Seton Hall is already on the Cowboys’ schedule, as the Pirates are set to host the Cowboys on Dec. 8 as part of the Big 12-Big East Battle.
OSU will open the year with a game against Doug Gottlieb and Green Bay, and Lutz has said a December Bedlam game against the Sooners in Oklahoma City is in the works.
