The fans put their jackets on, they braced for a sprint, and the countdown was on.

Oklahoma State did it again.For the third straight year,

an inspired group of Cowboys defeated Kansas in Gallagher-Iba Arena, fueling a court storming after their 86-67 victory against the No. 3 Jayhawks on Tuesday night.

“I just can’t tell you how proud I am of these guys,” OSU coach Travis Ford said. “Tonight, our basketball team was a pretty good basketball team.

“Tonight, it all kind of came together.”

It ended OSU’s four-game los-ing streak and gave the Cowboys (10-8 overall, 2-4 Big 12) a victory against KU for the fourth straight season.

After the game, Ford couldn’t keep the soft glow of a grin off his face.

“We are the total definition of team, good or bad, and tonight was great,” Ford said. “Really ap-preciate the effort of these young men tonight. They were really locked in and focused.”

OSU guard Jeff Newberry, who led a team meeting Monday, also noticed the Cowboys were locked in, but he said there was no other option against the Jayhawks (15-3, 4-2).

“I noticed that they were fo-cused, but they didn’t really have a choice because I made sure that

they were focused,” Newberry said.

Bill Self lost to OSU for the eighth time as coach of the Jay-hawks. OSU was simply better Tuesday, said Self, a Cowboy basketball alumnus.

“It was their night,” Self said. “We contributed to it, but they

were far better than us.“I just think we got outcoached,

outplayed.”The Cowboys’ usually stout

defense remained, but it was their offense that downed the Jay-hawks. OSU shot 11-of-21 from beyond the arc while sinking 23-of-26 from the free-throw line.

During their four-game slump, the Cowboys routinely fell behind in the first half, trailing by an av-erage of 12.7 points at the break, but OSU took the court with a first-half fire Tuesday.

Leading 43-38 at halftime, the Cowboys didn’t let up, quadru-pling their lead in the second half. OSU freshman point guard Jawun Evans finished with 22 points, eight assists and six rebounds in his first game against KU, while Newberry and Jeffrey Carroll added 13 and 11 points, respec-tively.

Tuesday’s game could be the start of a spark for the Cowboys, but for now, they’ll just enjoy sending the Jayhawks back to Lawrence losers for the third time in a row.

“We need to be humble about this, but be very proud of it, no doubt,” Ford said. “Tonight, we should smile.”

He’s not fancy — he’s effec-tive.

Oklahoma State freshman point guard Jawun Evans’ abil-ity to get to the basket is rare for a player of his 6-foot stature, but the result is all the same. The Dallas native scored 22 points in OSU’s 81-67 vic-tory against No. 3 Kansas, the Cowboys’ third straight against the Jayhawks in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

He doesn’t do many jaw-drop-ping ball-handling maneuvers other than a quick crossover and a route that takes him the basket, but the Cowboys (10-8 overall, 2-4 Big 12) don’t need his 22 points to be extravagant. They just need his production.

“I think he’s great,” KU coach Bill Self said. “I think you can

talk about other freshman in the country, and he’s right up there with them.”

The Cowboys hit a season-high 11 3-pointers, which was thanks in large part to Kansas’ (15-3, 4-2) attempt to cut Evans

off the lane. In result, he had eight assists, primarily dishing to open teammates beyond the arc.

“I thought we moved the ball as well as we have moved it in a very long time, as far a drive

and kicks and getting the other team off-balance,” OSU coach Travis Ford said.

Evans also banged in a 3 of his own on the Cowboys’ last possession of the first half, which gave them a 43-38 half-

time lead.The stat-sheet-stuffing fresh-

man wasn’t done there, however, as he also raked in six rebounds and snagged two steals.

“The thing I like about him is that he asserts himself, but he controls the game from an unselfish standpoint, too,” Self said.

“People should be excited about him. He’s good.”

While playing the nations second- and third-ranked teams the past two weeks, Evans had total of 64 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds. The statistics are outstanding for any player, but especially a freshman who is getting his first taste of Big 12 basketball.

“I told (Evans) ‘Don’t get overwhelmed by who we’re playing,’” OSU guard Jeff New-berry said. “And that he has to lead us every night, whether he likes it or not,”

Evans deflected most of his postgame praises and focused on the team and how it could move forward.

“We just play like dogs,” Evans said. “That’s what we did tonight.”

Many college students only have time to read books for classes, and some don’t have time to study them.

But one Oklahoma State student didn’t only study and read his books; he also wrote his own.

Brandon Baumgarten, an agricultural leadership senior, became a published author while balancing the workload of a student.

For Baumgarten, leadership and communication skills come as second nature, and Baumgar-ten’s book “Caught Up and Called Out” focuses on those topics. The book is designed to help readers hone their leader-ship abilities in a way that can impact and empower others.

Baumgarten is from Oilton, a small, Oklahoma agricultural town. He developed a knack for leadership at Oilton High School and found success com-peting in speaking competitions through the Future Farmers of America organization, he said.

Baumgarten went on to win state and national FFA speaking competitions, eventually serving as the president of Oklahoma

FFA. Much of the book’s content came from his time as a state FFA officer, he said.

“A lot of what I talk about in the book is based on those expe-riences I learned through agri-culture and that role,” Baumgar-ten said. “Meeting people and learning to communicate, that taught me so much.”

The connections he has made in FFA proved valuable not only to him but also to the success of his book, Baumgarten said. Kyle Hilbert, OSU Student Gov-ernment Association president, first met as Baumgarten as a competitor in FFA speaking competitions.

Baumgarten could usually beat him, but one year at the state competition, Hilbert pulled an upset, Hilbert said. Both of them had competed at the district and regional levels, and the two were set for a third duel at the state contest.

“He had beaten me at both district and regionals,” Hilbert said. “But for some reason that day the judges thought I got the best of him.”

Hilbert competed for and won a national title at the National FFA Convention that year. Baumgarten was one of the first to congratulate him, he said.

“That was cool that he was the first person up there con-gratulating me,” Hilbert said. “Because he really should have been up there competing.”

Hilbert and Baumgarten’s friendship grew from that point, and the two became closer once they got to OSU. Baumgarten said after he finished his book, Hilbert was the first person he

sent the final draft.During his time speaking

as the state FFA president, Baumgarten became friends with Rhett Laubach as well. Laubach is a motivational speaker with strong ties to FFA and the owner of YourNext-Speaker, LLC. Baumgarten asked Laubach to write the fore-word for his book, an opportu-nity that Laubach, a published author himself, gladly accepted.

“I would have only said yes to it if I trusted Brandon,” Lau-bach said. “All that mattered was how I felt about him.

“I trust him and know that he’s a good young man, so I

was honored to take the oppor-tunity.”

He has always enjoyed writ-ing, but it wasn’t until he got to OSU that he decided to pursue it, Baumgarten said. He started writing columns for the O’Colly and then transitioned into keep-ing a blog, he said.

“My readership began to grow and eventually people started asking me, ‘When are you going to write a book?’” Baumgarten said. “Eventually, I took the time and sat down and wrote it.”

It wasn’t easy to balance his responsibilities as a student and his continued public speaking, but he found the time to make

it work, Baumgarten said. For those closest to Baumgarten, his success came as no surprise.

“Brandon is just a people person,” Hilbert said. “He does a lot to reach people and writ-ing is just another medium for Brandon to reach others.”

Baumgarten said he hopes the book will help others to maxi-mize their leadership abilities and empower them to be an example for others.

“That’s the big goal, that it will bring out the leader in people,” Baumgarten said.

There’s a football hero coming to speak in Gallegher-Iba Arena, but she never played a down on the field.

Leigh Anne Touhy is best known as the adoptive mother of NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher, subject of the film “The

Blind Side.” Sandra Bull-ock portrayed Tuohy in the film and won an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

She’s also known for her philanthropy, the Making it Happen Foundation. The organization helps chil-dren lost in the foster care system find a home.

Kyle Lake, OSU Student Government Association Speaker’s Board chairman, said the process of picking who will speak involves multiple people.

“We have our board comprised of students brainstorm names of peo-ple who are relevant, but also that have a message that would educational

and inspiring,” Lake said. “Then we contact agents to get thing slike pricing.”

Tuohy’s heart for philan-thropy is a reason why she was chosen as this semes-ter’s speaker, and the board thought her message fit well with OSU’s emphasis on volunteering, Lake said.

Ryan Neal, Speaker’s Board vice chairman, said speakers can benefit stu-dents through inspiration.

“Speakers help stu-dents by allowing them to see someone who has had a passion and hasn’t stopped,” Neal said. “Even if their passion seems a little far-fetched if they stay with it they can ac-complish what they want

to.”The speech starts at 7

p.m. and admission is free for students with their student ID. Tickets to the speech are $10 for the gen-eral public and available at 3 p.m. Thursday on the south side of Gallagher-Iba.

Director Alejandro Gonza-lez Inarritu has had quite

the past 365 days, what with “Birdman” winning Best Picture at the 2015 Oscars. Here we are only one year and one film later, and the accolades are already stacking up.

Although the winners of each category won’t be unveiled until Feb. 28, 12 nominations for “The Revenant” at this year’s show make for an achievement in itself.

Let’s dive into the movie. “The Revenant” follows

professional frontiersman Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio), who is mauled by a bear during a trading expedition. Glass be-gins a relentless manhunt after a betrayal in which fellow hunter,

John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), murders Glass’ son and leaves the wounded explorer for dead.

One of the greatest strengths of “The Revenant” is the way in which it captures the rug-gedness of the 1820s American frontier. Similarly to “The Hate-ful Eight,” the sense of cold iso-lation is palpable. The violence is brutal and uncompromising insofar as cinematographer Em-manuel Lubezki shows it.

With “Birdman,” Inarritu shows his knack for, among a ton of other things, lengthy shots. Although “Revenant” doesn’t go to that extreme, there are a few memorable sequences in which the camera follows the events on screen. The bear attack sequence benefits from how much the shot lingers.

The film boasts only a hand-

ful of major characters, but each is at the top of their game. Although he isn’t wholly mute, DiCaprio does the bulk of his acting with only his face. DiCaprio’s performance is one of his best, alongside his Calvin Candie portrayal in “Django Unchained.”

It’s a testament to how great the performances are when Hardy arguably outshines Di-Caprio. With a memorably gruff twang to his voice, Hardy is one of the most despicable guys in any movie from this past year.

Although vengeance is one of the driving forces of DiCaprio’s character, the film itself isn’t so much a revenge thriller as it is a story about survival. Given the conditions of that era and location, it’s powerful to see the lengths to which Glass will go

to stay alive. At the same time, this focus

is somewhat detrimental to the film as a whole. There are mo-ments Inarritu tries to make the movie grander than what it is.

Many will appreciate the slow pace of the film — I’m general-ly all for it, too. Considering the thinness of “The Revenant” plot and character development, the

piece as a whole feels bloated. Even so, the movie features

two of the best performances in 2015 and a strong appreciation for location. I mean, when a director chooses to use the sun as a film’s only light source, you’ve got to give some credit. Right?

When competing on “The Bachelor,” Ameri-ca sees contestants ugly cry, get rejected and enter the fantasy suite, then comments on it the next day. Despite the scrutiny, one of Still-water’s own braved the cameras to join ABC’s TV show.

Lauren Barr, an Okla-homa State alumna, competed as a contes-tant in two episodes of “The Bachelor” season 20.

Barr, 23, graduated from OSU in 2013 and remains a buyer for the Wooden Nickel fashion boutique.

Allison Keys, Barr’s employer and owner of the Wooden Nickel, said she was fully supportive of Barr’s participation on the show.

“She’s a very loyal friend, a dedicated employee and an overall authentic girl,” Keys said. “She contemplated leaving her job and Stillwater for an un-

determined amount of time for the show, but I assured her she would be welcome back and that whatever was meant to be would be.”

Allie Ausleger, Barr’s roommate and Pi Phi Beta sorority sister, expressed excitement at Barr’s participation on the show.

“First of all, I’m a huge fan of ‘The Bach-elor,’” Ausleger said. “We watch it every Monday. Second, I’m a hopeless romantic. It’s a once in a lifetime oppor-tunity that only a hand-ful of people get to say they’ve done. So I think it’s pretty awesome that she was chosen.”

Season 20 of “The Bachelor” isn’t over, but Barr is no longer on the show. Barr left the

second episode of the season after refusing a rose from Ben Higgins, the bachelor.

Keys said she knew Barr would make wise decisions on the show that were true to herself.

“I couldn’t be more proud of her, and her graceful exit on the show,” Keys said.

Although Barr did not win “The Bach-elor,” Ausleger said she gained something else.

“She joined the show for a great opportunity, not only to find love but to meet people and make friends from all over the country,” Aus-leger said. “Even though she didn’t find love, she found some great friends.”

Stil l I can trust him; I know he will keep me. He has redeemed me and I am his child.”The Bible tells us that “there reThe Bible tells us that “there re-mains a rest to the people of God.” (Heb.4:9) John 15 tells us of much fruit can be produced in and through the one who “abides” in Christ. One aspect of abiding is resting. He is seated in heaven because his work of salvation is because his work of salvation is f inished. Here is someone we can fully trust because “he now sits at the right hand of God with all power and authority. (Matt.28:18) He never changes; “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (He.13:8) He tells us forever.” (He.13:8) He tells us “never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Heb.13:5) He loves

us with a steadfast love. (Ro.8:3839)It is a rest of faith that is ours in Christ. It is an active trust that we can chose and practice each day.

“How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather thansilver! ( Prov.16:16 NIV)I remember the story of the young child who was given the choice between receiving a sack of candy and a one hundred dollar bill. The child chose the candy. Why? He did not fully understand the relative value of each.In looking at gold and silver, it is easy to see the value of each. With them we can buy items that would give pleasure to us. With them we can buy favors from others; many times they will bring admiration and praise. W hen we think of wisdom and understanding, the value is more vague. We know they are good, but the use of them is not as clear. We can give them lip service many times, but in real life we lean toward the gold and silver.

Jesus poses a question: what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? How valuable is your soul? Can you honestly compare the temporary, that can be seen, to the eternal that is often unseen. The Bible makes it clear that all people are immortal; that is, all shall exist forever. How valuable is our soul, our life? Are we taking any serious time to consider our relationship with God.The Bible tells us that “the fear of God” is the beginning of wisdom. (Prov.9:10) To fear God is to stand in awe and respect of him. Who is he? What does he have to say about life? Does he tell us anything about a relationship with him? The Bible does encourage us that God teaches the humble. (Ps.25:9) As we humble ourselves before him; respect him, we are beginning to get wise. This is more important that gold!Remember the bag of candy and the hundred dollar bill. C onsider the value of your soul. This will count for eternity. The Bible says if we seek wisdom from God, he will give it liberally.(Ja.1:5) It will be the beginning of something that is truly worthwhile..

GOLD OR WISDOM

Honestly, it was true before Tuesday night.

It was true before the Cow-boys defeated Kansas 86-67. It was true before Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford strut-ted off Eddie Sutton Court brandishing a smile. It was true

before the fans in Gallagher-Iba Arena took his place, storming against the Jayhawks for the third straight year.

The Cowboys are worthy of your attention.

Jawun Evans, the dynamic Cowboy freshman point guard whom you can’t take your eyes off.

Jeff Newberry, the jump-out-the-gym guard whose dunks leave your jaw on the bleacher seat in front of you.

Jeffrey Carroll, the sharp-shooter who seemingly can’t miss when he’s on.

There’s plenty to be excited about, and that was the case before Tuesday night.

Just ask Kansas coach Bill

Self.“I think their team deserves

to be supported,” Self said. “I like their team. They’re athletic, they share the ball, they’ve got an All-American in the midst (Evans) that’s going to be fun to watch. I’m not campaigning for people to do anything, but I will tell you, from my perspective, I like their guys. They play hard, and they seem to be getting better.”

In their past four games be-fore Tuesday night, the Cow-boys looked abysmal at times. But in each game, there were stretches of brilliance, times when OSU appeared to be a team capable of knocking off some of the Big 12’s top teams.

Tuesday, the Cowboys ap-peared that way for 40 minutes, sending the Jayhawks out of Stillwater with their heads down and questioning how GIA has shut them down three years in a row.

Self said he was the common denominator in KU’s three straight losses, but it’s apparent that title belongs to the GIA crowd.

OSU coach Travis Ford seemed to feel that it at least had an impact.

“It matters,” Ford said. “It makes a difference. We want to play well for them. Hopefully, they appreciate the effort of our guys.”

The Cowboys’ two best performances of the season have come in the games with the highest attendance. It’s no

secret that when GIA is ig-nited, even only a bit, it can be a dangerous place for a visiting team.

The team they come to face can be dangerous, too.

“It’s one of the great wins that I’ve been a part of,” Ford said. “A lot of people give up on this team, say certain things. To perform at the level we performed at tonight, I was so pleased with these guys. I want it for these guys. I’m staying up night and day trying to figure out how to push the right but-tons with this team. I was so happy for these guys to experi-ence that.”

You can experience it, too. Just watch.
