Oklahoma State has a very proud basketball tradition, and I am happy to be facing off against them. I have great respect for the program. My own UTEP Miners have a link to the Henry Iba coaching tree through Don Haskins, who won an NCAA title of his own (when UTEP was known as Texas Western). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Iba#Coaching_tree And Nolan Richardson could be said to have branched off from Don Haskins.

Chris Collins's father is in the Henry Iba coaching tree.

I guess all this is to say that I've been looking forward to this game probably more than most of you. I expect a good game.
