🎥 TALKIN’ BALL

It’s on April but there’s no better time to talk some Cowboy football
than the present, right?

Let’s check in with how spring ball is rolling along.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Trophy Hunting. The hunt for a second NCEA title in the past four years begins today in Ocala, Fla. as the third-seeded Cowgirls take on sixth-seeded Texas A&M with a spot in the semifinals on the line.

The winner will take on the winner of #2 Auburn and #7 Georgia in the semifinals on Friday.

OSU is coming off a fifth-straight Big 12 title and 11th overall conference title, the most by any program in the NCEA.

🔼 And Another One... The OSU men’s hoops family continues to grow this offseason.

After a loaded group of transfers, Coach Lutz and the Cowboys added another piece to the puzzle with the signing of 6-9 center Ben Ahmed.

Originally from Nigeria, Ahmed has spent the past three seasons at Putnam Science Academy in northeastern Connecticut, where he won two national prep championships and finished as the program's all-time scoring and rebounding leader. The consensus four-star recruit is ranked as high as No. 74 in the Class of 2025 by On3.

Ahmed was a double-double machine for the Mustangs, collecting more than 1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds in his three seasons.

As a senior, Ahmed averaged 12.3 points and 8.2 rebounds while shooting better than 57% from the field. He was named MVP of the 2025 National Prep Championship following a 20-point performance in the title game.

🔼 Here They Come. Firing the second best round of the day, the 30th-ranked OSU women’s golf team find themselves atop the Big 12 Championship leaderboard headed into today’s final round in Hockley, Texas.

Marta Silchenko fired a 2-under in the second round to jump into a tie atop the individual leaderboard, while Grace Kilcrease fired a 3-under in the second round to sit tied for sixth overall.

The Cowgirls hit the tees at 10:40 this morning to try and capture Big 12 title number #12.

🎥 OSUMAX: KONVERSATIONS WITH KEELEY
