For every game this season, coach Bill Fennelly and the rest of the coaching staff pin a bright orange number four onto the lapels of their suit jackets.
The pin represents the four people who were killed in an untimely plane crash flying over Perry County, Ark., including the Oklahoma State women's basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant coach Miranda Serna.
At Wednesday's game in Hilton Coliseum, Fennelly will still pin that number four onto his jacket, but this time Iowa State will be playing Oklahoma State — the team Fennelly's to which number four pin so proudly pays tribute.
"It's one of those things that it's unimaginable that it would happen,,cheappaneraiwatcheswholesale can offer you wholesale pricing on name brand designer." Fennelly said.

"I think they're probably playing with a unique level of energy and emotion that most of us can't get our teams to do and they're playing for the love of the game," Fennelly said of the OSU players.
