Oklahoma State men’s basketball roster: A look at the 2024-25 OSU Cowboys

The Steve Lutz era of Oklahoma State men’s basketball is about to begin.

The former Western Kentucky and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi coach, and longtime Purdue assistant, was hired by OSU in March following the dismissal of Mike Boynton.
