Speed and determination will fuel one Oklahoma State runner’s season. Junior Natalja Piliusina will begin the 2013 indoor track season at the top of the pack. Piliusina is ranked No. 1 in the women’s 800-meter race, accord-ing to the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s preseason ranking. The women’s and men’s track squads were not ranked in the preseason, but several runners were ranked in individual events. Piliusina recently set the school-record for fastest time in the 800-meter race, record-ing a time of 2:03.91. The time is nearly a second ahead of the previous record of 2:04.61, which was set by Justine Craig at the 1987 NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Lithuania native’s time

was the best collegiate time at the Payton Jordan Invitation-al on April 29, as well as the third-fastest collegiate time in the country that year, an OSU record and a personal best by nearly two seconds. In her career at OSU, Piliusi-na has earned five All-American awards and six Big 12 Cham-pion awards. She also holds five OSU school records and seven All-Big 12 honors.

It’s just what the doctor or-dered. Following two close losses to Gonzaga and Kansas State, Oklahoma State got its con-ference win against the TCU Horned Frogs, 63-45. The win put OSU at 14-3 all-time in Big 12 Conference home openers, including 11 straight wins. The Cowboys came out in the first half with the intent of playing up-tempo. They brought full-court pressure the Horned Frogs could not handle. The key plays in the first half came when forward Michael Cobbins blocked back-to-back field goal attempts by TCU and when ju-nior guard Kirby Gardner passed the ball to freshman guard Phil Forte in transition. Forte then made his only three-pointer of the game, bringing OSU’s lead to 15 points at halftime. “A win is a win, especially in

the Big 12,” center Philip Jurick said. “It means a lot, so we just need to move on to the next one and prepare like we did for this one.” Guards Marcus Smart and Markel Brown tied for the OSU lead in scoring with 14 points apiece. Smart added three assists and five steals for the Cowboys (11-3, 1-1). Equally as disappointing as the team’s play during its losing streak was forward Le’Bryan Nash’s performance. Nash took it upon himself to play aggres-sively to get out of his slump. He finished the night shooting 6-10 for 13 points and grabbed six re-bounds. Nash admitted he needed a reminder of what his game looks like when he is successful and when he struggles. “I had a rough week last week,” said Nash. “I met with Coach (Ford) and we watched what I did in Puerto Rico and what I didn’t do (the last couple games.” TCU’s Garlon Green led

all scorers with 20 points, but he was only bright spot for the Horned Frogs (9-6, 0-2). The team was held to 36.2 per-cent shooting and never got in rhythm offensively. The team’s 45 points scored was its second lowest output of the season. Horned Frogs head coach Trent Johnson attributed his team’s poor performance to playing the Cowboys at the wrong time. “This is a basketball team that had a little chip (on their shoulder) and they were ready to play like they always are,” John-son said. “They’re very balanced and they play truly hard and they have a nastiness to them that I really like.” Jurick is starting to regain the form he played with at the beginning of the season, grab-bing 10 rebounds and scoring six points throughout the night. Despite holding TCU below its averages in nearly every im-portant statistical category, OSU coach Travis Ford saw short-comings from his team.

“You never want to sound too greedy, but I’m not too hap-py with how we played,” Ford said. “I didn’t think we played with the passion we normally play with, but it was just an ugly game.”

OSU struggled with turn-overs, a normally strong area. The Cowboys committed 24 turnovers while only totaling 14 assists. The Horned Frogs scored 19 points off OSU turnovers. “That is obviously an extreme

(number of turnovers),” Ford said. “We have been leading the league in assist to turnover mar-gin. I’m sure that will change af-ter tonight very quickly.”

Rebounding

In Oklahoma State’s three losses this season, the Cowboys were outrebounded 81-123, losing the rebound-ing battle in each game. The Cowboys weren’t going to let that happen against Texas Christian Uni-versity on Wednesday night. “(Rebounding) was just a big focus in practice this week because we’ve been getting outrebounded,” cen-ter Philip Jurick said. “In the three games that we lost we got outrebounded by a lot. I think coach just made an emphasis on us rebounding.” The week of practice paid off as OSU dominated the boards, 40-17. Jurick led the team with 10 rebounds, and Oklahoma State pulled down nine on the offensive side while al-lowing TCU only two offen-sive rebounds. Coach Travis Ford said he was happy with the ef-fort, but was unsure whether TCU was trying to challenge them on the rebounds. “We did do some things we worked on the past two days, but I don’t think they went to the glass real hard,” Ford said. “I’m really anxious to get back to this film and just see all the turnovers and see, ‘did we rebound that well.’ I’m anxious to see that. “But yeah, I liked that we were more aggressive on the

glass, we were more aware that we need to go after this thing.”

Nash

Sophomore guard Le’Bryan Nash came out shooting for OSU deter-mined to break out of his recent slump. Nash said he felt as if his performance in the past few games had let the team down. He went back to watch

film of his play in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off and came into Wednesday night’s game with a new mindset. “I need to attack the rim more, I wasn’t aggressive enough.” Nash said. “My coaches made that specific in practice. They told me ‘the reason you’re not scoring is because you’re not aggres-sive.’ So I tried to be more aggressive and it worked out for me.” Nash scored the first two points of each half and fin-

ished with 13. It was his first time to hit double digits since OSU beat Tennessee Tech on Dec. 22, the last game before back-to-back losses. Nash’s impact wasn’t only on the offensive side. He pulled down six de-fensive boards and took a couple of charges. Ford said Nash had two good practices on Monday and Tuesday this week and it showed against TCU. “He affected the game to-night,” Ford said. “I thought defensively he did a pretty good job. He got six re-bounds, which is good. Turn-overs obviously pick anybody on that, but yeah, he played better.”

Patsy Sutton

It was an emotional night as the Cowboys honored Patsy Sutton, the late wife of legendary Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton. Patsy died Tuesday at the age of 74 after suffering a stroke that had her hospital-ized since Dec. 28. OSU held a moment of silence for the Sutton family prior to the singing of the na-tional anthem. The Cowboys wore a black ribbon with orange trim and the name Patsy run-ning down one side. The team will wear this patch for the rest of the sea-son, and OSU also has an or-ange alternate patch.

?QUESTIONof theWEEK

Williams said there might be a change in the existing Okla-homa’s Promise program. Oklahoma’s Promise covers college tuition costs only, but it may soon apply toward career technology school costs as well. “I’m reserving judgment until I hear further. Are we adding to it or taking from it?” Williams said. Williams said he is only OK with this as long as there are plans to add more money to the program. He said he doesn’t want this to prevent someone else from going to college be-cause there is not enough mon-ey to cover both. “We will probably see dis-cussion for remedial courses this session,” he said. Williams said he wonders

how necessary remedial courses are and if institutions are using them more as moneymakers. “The state shouldn’t be pay-ing for remedial courses. You’re going to have to work when you get out of high school,” he said. There will also be legislation that would require four years of math in high school. Williams hopes this cuts down on reme-dial courses. “We need to make school harder. Life is hard,” he said.

SAC: Group discusses adjusting times of breaks.

From Page 1

Rep. Cory Williams, D-Stillwater, said the higher education and career technology committees want legislation to reduce the rising tuition costs.

Director of the Institute for Teaching and Learning Excellence, spoke to the SAC about the programs and technology opportuni-ties that the ITLE provides for the teachers at OSU. ITLE is an OSU de-partment dedicated to providing resources and support services to pro-mote and enable excellence for every element of the teaching-learning transac-tion with the university community, according to the department’s website, http://itle.okstate.edu/. Non-teaching staff can utilize ITLE’s services with a cost depending on the type of service. Services provided for the teaching

community include workshops for teachers on different teach-ing topics, support in the set-ting up and maintenance of the Online Classroom, also known as D2L, and a variety of technology services from multimedia instructional methods to servicing the tech-nology within the classrooms. “If you are teaching some-thing to somebody, we’ll help you,” Ormsbee said. The next SAC meeting will be at 1:15 p.m. Feb. 13 in 408 Student Union.
