Making History

This year will mark the Cowboys’ 49^th NCAA Regional appearance in program history, tying them for the third most all-time with Miami (FL) and behind only Texas (63) and Florida State (60). OSU is also the only program to have hosted a regional in each of the last three years.

After becoming the Cowboys head coach in 2012, Josh Holliday has led Oklahoma State to 12 consecutive regional berths, seven of which the team has hosted. With 11 consecutive NCAA Regional appearances (there was no tournament in 2020 due to COVID-19), OSU owns the nation’s fourth-longest current streak behind only Vanderbilt (18), Florida (16) and LSU (12).

Oklahoma State is also one of only four teams who have finished in the top 25 of the NCAA RPI in each of the last five seasons (the other three being Tennessee, Arkansas and Vanderbilt).

Additionally, O’Brate Stadium has been coined as a “hitter’s park,” meaning all four teams will look to take advantage of whatever Stillwater’s weather may hold. As of right now, Stillwater is expecting a 79% chance of rain with 7-14 mph winds.
