He began by addressing a separate incident involving Oklahoma State softball, where the team bus was involved in a tragic accident after striking a pedestrian weaving in traffic. Fortunately, no players, coaches, or staff were injured or killed, but the incident deeply affected the team, leading to the postponement of their game against Wichita State. Returning to basketball, Bailey discussed the Cowboys’ performance this season, noting improvement over last year.

Bailey highlighted Oklahoma State’s strong scoring ability but emphasized the need to find balance through the transfer portal by acquiring players who excel defensively and can serve as an inside presence.

He addressed the transfer portal activity, mentioning that Terrance Brown and Keanu Dawes have entered the portal, though there's a possibility they could return. Crowley explained that, given the NBA backgrounds of head coach Alex Jensen and GM Wes Wilcox, both players were likely encouraged to evaluate their value in the portal. As Utah enters Jensen’s second year as head coach, Crowley discussed the program’s NIL budget, the roster changes needed through the transfer portal, and ongoing renovations to the Huntsman Center. He also shared his realistic expectations for the team: while making the NCAA Tournament would be ideal, he believes Utah should be competitive and remain in the mix within the Big 12. Crowley emphasized that, given the program’s circumstances, there would be no disappointment if Utah doesn’t reach the tournament, but he is confident the team will be much more competitive and improve significantly.
