Cowboy basketball needs help, but it won’t be from Isaiah Miranda | Two on OSU

  • Résumé

  • Losses keep coming for Oklahoma State basketball.

    The 8-9 Cowboys are 0-4 in conference play and have lost a player projected for a big role in the preseason.

    Seven-foot-one center Isaiah Miranda has left OSU, for what coach Mike Boynton called “personal reasons.” He transferred in as a highly touted recruit but played just 16 minutes across three games. The loss is not one of production, but of potential (0:53).

    The Cowboys have struggled with interior defense. Through four Big 12 games, OSU has allowed 184 points in the paint. In contrast, OSU has scored just 94 points in the paint during that stretch.

    “It’s a problem, there’s no question,” Boynton said. “Gotta go back and reevaluate. We’re taking away 3’s, but obviously we’re getting just annihilated (in the paint). And literally, it’s all the way at the rim, too. We’re not talking about guys making a bunch of runners or midrange pullups. They’re making, in many cases, uncontested layups.”

    Miranda’s loss ensures there’s no answer for OSU to turn to off the bench. His absence puts an increased emphasis on the other centers on the roster: 6-foot-11 freshman Brandon Garrison and 6-foot-10 senior Mike Marsh. (7:07)
