Cowboys Fans Will Get An Early Look At Steve Lutzs New Team

Catch all the live action as the Oklahoma State Cowboys showcase their skills and team chemistry in a series of exclusive exhibition games in Puerto Rico, streamed free via BallerTV.

Oklahoma State’s trip to Puerto Rico comes with a bonus for fans back home: every exhibition game will be available to watch live.

The Cowboys are in San Juan for a foreign tour that includes three games against professional competition, and the school announced earlier this week that all three matchups will be streamed through BallerTV. That means OSU fans won’t have to miss the action, even from thousands of miles away.

BallerTV, a streaming service best known for youth basketball and baseball coverage, is handling the broadcasts. The platform recently finished streaming The Main Event in Las Vegas and the Power 24 in Atlanta.

For Oklahoma State’s trip, the games will be free to watch, with on-demand replays also available. Fans can get to the stream by downloading the BallerTV app or visiting BallerTV.com and searching “Oklahoma State.”

The Cowboys open the trip on Sunday against Puerto Rico Fuerza at 7 p.m. central. They’ll see the same opponent again on Monday in another 7 p.m. central game before closing the schedule on Wednesday at 7 p.m. central against the LBP All-Stars. All three games will be played at Guillermo Angulo Coliseum in San Juan.

The foreign tour itself is part of a familiar NCAA allowance, which lets men’s and women’s basketball teams travel abroad once every three years. Programs use the opportunity for extra bonding time and exhibition games that don’t come around during the normal U.S. schedule.

That bonding piece matters for Oklahoma State, which enters the trip with just four returning players from last season’s team. Point guard Kanye Clary leads that group and is expected to be the only returning starter. The rest of the roster is built from true freshmen and transfers brought in by head coach Steve Lutz.

Lutz is entering his third season in Stillwater. He’s 37-33 over his first two years, and the Cowboys have taken steps forward each season, moving from 17 wins in 2024-25 to 20 wins in 2025-26. The climb hasn’t shown up in Big 12 play yet, though, with Oklahoma State going from 7-13 in Lutz’s first year to 6-12 last season.

The Cowboys have reached the postseason NIT in each of Lutz’s first two seasons. Now he’s trying to push Oklahoma State back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021, when freshman Cade Cunningham led the way.

This Texas Tech Test Will Say Everything About Oklahoma State

The first real measuring-stick game for Oklahoma State arrives Nov. 14 against Texas Tech, and it comes with both programs carrying a lot of change into the matchup. The Cowboys are building almost from scratch under Eric Morris, leaning on a roster packed with transfers and new faces, while the Red Raiders bring back a more established core on defense and have added more help up front to keep that side of the ball aggressive.

For Oklahoma State, the question is whether the offensive line can hold long enough to let the new skill talent settle in, because Texas Tech should make life difficult in the trenches and on the back end. If the Cowboys cant keep the pocket clean, it gets harder to involve targets like Wyatt Young, Chris Barnes and Justin Bowick, and that is exactly the kind of stress test this game is supposed to provide.

Can Eric Morris End Oklahoma States Bowl Drought This Fast

The reset in Stillwater has been dramatic enough on its own. After a 1-11 season and the end of the Mike Gundy era, Eric Morris arrives with a roster rebuilt almost from scratch, bringing nearly 90 new players through the transfer portal and leaning on familiar faces from his previous stop to accelerate the turnaround. The early read from around the Big 12 is not that Oklahoma State is suddenly a contender, but that the Cowboys at least have a path back to respectability if the new pieces click quickly.

For a program trying to climb out of the league cellar, the question is less about winning big right away than whether a bowl return can happen as soon as 2026. The schedule should offer some help, and there are enough winnable games on paper to make the math interesting, but the real swing factors are still internal: whether the offense settles in behind Morriss new arrivals and whether the defense gets enough from its holdovers to stop the slide. If those parts come together, this kind of rebound might not take as long as it felt like it would in December. [Read more 🡒]
