📈 STOCK UP

🔺 They’re Heating Up. With the bulk of Big 12 play on the horizon, the OSU baseball squad is heating up at just the right time.

On Tuesday night, the Cowboys picked up their eighth win in the past 10 days, toppling Oral Roberts, 9-0, at O’Brate Stadium.

Junior Janzen Keisel tossed four shutout innings to lead a stable of six different OSU hurlers who allowed just two hits and six total baserunners all night, while striking out 12 Golden Eagle hitters.

Offensively, Carson Benge had another big night, finishing 3-for-5 with three RBIs and his fifth HR of the season.

🔺 The Great 8. File this one in the “Yeah, We Knew This Was Coming” category.

After two complete game shutouts against the #2-ranked Longhorns and one of the most potent offenses in the country, veteran OSU hurler Lexi Kilfoyl was named the Wilson/NFCA National Pitcher of the Week and the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week.

This marks the second time this season that she’s swept the weekly honors.

🏀 A NEW ERA

A new era is officially underway in Stillwater as Director of Athletics
Chad Weiberg announced the hiring of Steve Lutz as the
21st head men’s basketball coach in OSU history.

A rising star under Creighton's Greg McDermott and a fifth-generation member of Henry Iba's coaching tree (via Purdue's Matt Painter), Lutz is off to a successful start to his own head coaching career with NCAA tournament appearances in each of his first three seasons.

In rapid rebuilds at Western Kentucky (2023-24) and Texas A&M Corpus Christi (2021-23), the 51-year-old has posted a combined 69-35 record, including a perfect 8-0 mark in conference tournament play.

🎥 OSU ACCESS: CATCHIN’ UP WITH CLAY

One last run.

That’s the mantra for OSU redshirt senior nose tackle Collin Clay who is in his final spring ball with the Cowboys and excited for what his last season in Stillwater will bring.

Hear from Clay on his second year with Coach Nardo, get his thoughts on new defensive line coach Paul Randolph and find out how his wedding plans are coming along.
