Coach Lutz comes over to Oklahoma State from Western Kentucky where the Hilltoppers won the Conference USA Tournament which placed them into their first NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013. He also had taken Texas A&M - Corpus Christi to two Southland Tournament titles which led to NCAA Tournament berths in 2022 and 2023. The Cowboys return Bryce Johnson and Jamyron Keller as the only returnees among last season's top nine scoring leaders.
