🏀: The Full First Round Preview

🔼 Among The Elite. Riding a hot start to the spring season, the OSU men’s golf program has climbed into the top-five in the latest rankings.

One of their leaders, Ethan Fang, is also among the nation’s leader as this week, he was named to the Fred Haskins Award presented by Stifel first spring watch list. He is one of 20 players named to the watch list for the annual award which honors the top men's collegiate golfer.

The next Watch List will be released on Monday, April 14 and will be reduced to 15 players. The final 2024-25 Haskins Award Watch List will be released on Friday, May 16 and voting will open for the 10 players that are included on the list. Voting will end on Monday, May 26 at the conclusion of the stroke play portion of the NCAA Championship.

🔼 Comeback Kid. Another chapter was added to one of the league’s best comeback stories on Monday.

After a right shoulder injury sidelined veteran OSU guard Bryce Thompson for the final six weeks of last season and most of the off-season, the 6-foot-6 guard returned to average a career-best 12.4 points per game this season and earned Big 12 Honorable Mention.

It's the first postseason honor for Thompson in a five-year career marked by steady productivity. The Tulsa native spent his freshman year at Kansas before returning to his home state to play for the Cowboys and his now on track to become just the ninth player in OSU history to average double-figure points in four different seasons.
