March 23, 2021 | Cowboy Basketball
STILLWATER – A program-best five student-athletes from Oklahoma State were named to the Academic All-Big Basketball First Team, the league announced on Tuesday.
Avery Anderson III, Kalib Boone, Keylan Boone, Isaac Likekele and Dee Mitchell were all a part of the record-breaking haul for Cowboy basketball, which now has 11 Academic All-Big 12 selections under fourth-year head coach Mike Boynton. OSU now has 47 Academic All-Big 12 history since the league was formed in 1997.
It was the first career Academic All-Big 12 nod for all five Cowboys, who enjoyed success both on and off the court in 2021. Oklahoma State rose to No. 11 in the Associated Press top-25, earned a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the second round for the first time since 2009.
To qualify, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters and must have participated in 20 percent of their team's scheduled contests. First-team members must maintain a 3.2 GPA. Freshmen and first-year transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residence.
A total of 57 student-athletes across the league were named to one of the two Academic All-Big teams.
