New-Look Cowgirls Tabbed Big 12 Preseason Champs
9 Oct
Summary
- Cowgirls selected as Big 12 preseason favorite for first time under coach Hoyt.
- Audi Crooks named preseason player of the year, Liv McGill is newcomer of the year.
- CBS Sports will air eight Big 12 women's basketball games this season.
The Oklahoma State Cowgirls basketball team has been radically reshaped this offseason, with coach Jacie Hoyt and her staff assembling the nation's top transfer class. This dramatic overhaul has earned significant preseason recognition.
For the first time under Hoyt, the Cowgirls were voted by league coaches as the favorites to win the Big 12 Conference. This marks the program's first time being selected as the preseason favorite. The vote was close, with Oklahoma State narrowly edging out TCU, the previous season's regular-season champion.
Key additions include center Audi Crooks and guard Liv McGill. Crooks, a transfer from Iowa State, was named the preseason player of the year, her second consecutive selection for this honor. McGill, a transfer from Florida, was recognized as the league's preseason newcomer of the year. Both players earned spots on the preseason All-Big 12 first team.
Further enhancing the program's profile, CBS Sports will broadcast eight Big 12 women's basketball games this season. This marks the first time the league has secured a deal for women's games on CBS, expanding national television coverage.
