📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Two-For-One Special. Imagine stepping onto the mats and facing that sea of America’s Brightest Orange.

Wyoming and Arizona State will do that this weekend as the third-ranked Cowboys open their 2024-25 home slate with showdowns tonight (7:30 vs. Wyoming) and Sunday (1 pm vs. ASU).

OSU is coming off an absolute dominant opening weekend with road victories at Utah Valley State and Oregon State last weekend.

🔼 One Last Ride At Home. The Cowboys are set to take the field at BPS one last time this fall.

This weekend, as OSU honors its senior class, they also welcome Texas Tech to down for a Big 12 afternoon showdown in Stillwater.

🔼 Bounce Back Time. In a choppy, whistle-laden opening round game of the Charleston Classic, the OSU men’s squad dropped its first game of the season, falling 86-78 to 2022 Final Four participant FAU on Thursday.

Khalil Brantley led OSU (3-1) with 16 points, Robert Jennings II posted his first ever double-double with 14 points and a career-high 11 rebounds, and Brandon Newman added nine points and 10 boards.

The Cowboys were whistled for 33 total fouls – their highest count since a 2014 NCAA tournament loss to Gonzaga (33).

OSU will now meet up with Miami (3-1) at 1 p.m. Friday on ESPNU in the tournament's consolation bracket.

🎥 OSUMAX: THE OLD POKES SHOW

The Oklahoma State Cowboys will host the Texas Tech Red Raiders
on Saturday inside Boone Pickens Stadium for Senior Day.

Plus Deion Imade and Clint Chelf are joined by Red Raider Nation reporter
Cole Banker as the guys preview this weekend's game.

🎥 OSUMAX: A POWERFUL CONNECTION

Coach Kenny Gajewski and his Cowgirl Softball team took a trip to the all-women’s Mabel Bassett Correctional Center last week to share a message of hope and be a source of inspiration with the women there. The Cowgirls spread their love for the game as they took batting practice and threw some pitches with the women at the facility.
