Brad Underwood Calls OSU ‘Elite Program,’ Fires Up Fans With GIA Talk

First-year head coach Brad Underwood was asked about the OSU fan base and the potential of a rockin’ Gallagher-Iba Arena at OSU’s media day today. Here’s what he had to say.

“One of the main reasons I took this job, I believe in this building,” said Underwood. “I believe in the culture and the tradition of Oklahoma State Basketball. Oklahoma State fans, when we took the job in the spring we brought young people here. The game day experience is incredible. There is very few fan bases that have more pride than the OSU fan base.”

“For me to go out, Altus, Woodward, we hit them all. To go do that, that’s only the right thing. We ask them to come out here and support us. I can’t do this by myself and neither can the players. We have something extremely special. When this building is full, it’s the best there is in college basketball. I believe that.”

“I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I’ve seen a lot of them. We put people in this building, we can elevate this program, not just to the status we all want. We should be there. We are an elite program and we should act like that. We need to believe we are that. And to do that, it is putting people in seats and I know our players appreciate that and we can make this program the great basketball program it is.”

If that doesn’t get you fired up for basketball season, I don’t know what will.

The Cowboys start off at home against Pittsburg State on November 1 at 7:00 p.m. CST. Here’s to “Bringin’ the Rowdy Back”.
