Less than 24 hours after a pri vate plane carrying members of the Oklahoma State basketball team crashed in Colorado, the after shocks reverberated around both the Big 12 sporting community and the campuses united by the league. Across the conference, pro grams with similar travel arrange ments have rethought their flying arrangements and paused to put the game in perspective. Texas coach Rick Barnes opened a team meeting on Sunday with an illustration to help his players relate to the Cowboys’ situation. Barnes listed the names of eight people who held similar positions with Longhorn basketball, repre senting each of those lost in the ac cident, with the exception of the two pilots. Texas sports information direc tor Scott McConnell and team trainer Brian Sarr were among those listed. Sarr and junior swingman Mau rice Evans were hit especially hard by the loss of Oklahoma State trainer Brian Luinstra. Luinstra replaced Sarr as the Cowboys' trainer when Sarr joined the ‘Horns in 1999. Prior to his career as a Cowboy, Luinstra held a similar position at Witchita State, where he worked with Evans. Emotions delayed the Long horns’ team meeting for the next half hour as the tragedy hit home. In College Station, Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy related a similar story about when his team last visited Stillwater on Jan. 8. Ha lie bi Eustachy spent part of the trip C ould with Pat Noyes, who also died in ■'he c< the crash. ■sti Noyes, a close friend, wroteEt Ijtion stachy “a nice note.†That was the If the last time they saw each other, |j v In Stillwater, the normally fes- I et i c live bar Eskimo Joe’s becameqi || e wc when people heard the news. hi The house band played “Amaa?

The Aggies had been in Stilly ter just four days before thecr to play the Cowboys in the same arena that hosted Wednesday's memorial service.
