🎥 OSUMAX: INSIDE TOURNEY TIME

The Oklahoma State women's basketball team finished off a great 2024-25 season earning the three seed in the Big 12 Championship with a 24-5 and 14-4 record.

Go inside all the action during the trip from workouts, to the locker room and everything on the floor as the Cowgirls take on Texas Tech and Baylor in the conference championship in Kansas City.

🔼 Let’s Dance. The dance ticket was already secured, but now the Cowgirls have their dance partner.

For the second time in three seasons under the direction of Coach Hoyt, the OSU women's basketball team earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament and will enter play as the No. 7 seed in the Spokane 4 Region. OSU will face No. 10 South Dakota State, which sports a 29-3 record, on Saturday, March 22 in Storrs, Connecticut. The winner will advance to take on the winner of second-seeded UConn and Arkansas State.

After being picked to finish 11th in the Big 12's preseason poll, the Cowgirls currently stand at No 17 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll after tallying a third-place finish and winning a program-record 14 Big 12 games while posting a 25-6 mark overall. OSU's victory total is the third best in program history.

🔼 Buzzin’ At The Beach.The year was 1965. It was the first-ever NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championship.

That was the last time OSU earned a top-five finish at the event, until now.

It was a quite a weekend in Virginia Beach as the OSU men’s track & field squad earned a fifth place overall finish with 26 points. It marked the third-consecutive top-10 finish at the national meet for the first time in program history after placing sixth in 2023 and seventh in 2024.

Highlighting the historic weekend was Brian Musau who won the National Championship in the 5000m, and followed it up with a fourth-place finish in the 3000m the next day.

🔼 Stillwater Strong. On a weekend that saw our home hit hard, the 14th-ranked OSU softball team provided a little reason to smile with a hard-fought 3-0 victory over visiting Houston on Sunday.

With the win, the Cowgirls have now won 13 of their past 15 games.

Megan Bloodworth led the offense with an RBI triple in the second and a solo HR in the fifth, while Ruby Meylan dominated in the circle posting her second double-digit strikeout performance of the season, punching out 10 and allowing just one hit in seven innings.

🔼 Not Done Yet. GIA isn’t done hosting hoops this season.

That’s right, the OSU men’s basketball squad is postseason bound as well, with the Cowboys earning a #4 seed in this year’s NIT and a first-round home matchup against Wichita State.

The two teams will tip off at 8 pm on Tuesday night on ESPN2.

OSU is the No. 4 seed in the Dallas region and, with a victory over the Shockers, would face either top seed SMU or Northern Iowa in the second round (March 22-23). No. 2 seed North Texas meets Furman and No 3 Arkansas State hosts Saint Louis on the other half of the regional.

As a token of appreciation for their efforts during the recent wildfires, first responders will receive free admission by presenting their badge at the will call window on game day.
