Fallah named to Big 12's weekly Starting Five
December 08, 2025 | Cowboy Basketball
STILLWATER -- Back-to-back 20-point performances have landed Oklahoma State's Parsa Fallah a spot on this week's Big 12 Starting Five.
Â
Fallah – a 6-foot-10 forward from Amol, Iran – is the first Cowboy to win a weekly award under the new format, which pairs the traditional player and newcomer of the week with three other top performers.
Â
In two games last week, Fallah averaged 24.5 points and 6.5 rebounds, highlighted by a season-high 25 points in Saturday's neutral court win over Grand Canyon in Phoenix that pushed OSU to 9-0 for the first time since 2006.
Â
Fallah made 18 of his 22 field goal attempts (.818) to raise his season shooting percentage to 68.5% -- a mark that ranks eighth nationally. He's also averaging 14.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, emerging as a centerpiece for a Cowboy team that continues to turn heads nationally.
Â
Oklahoma State (9-0) enters the week as one of only eight Division I unbeatens. The Cowboys received 54 votes in Monday's Associated Press Poll – just two spots and 25 votes shy of their first top 25 appearance since March 2021.
Â
Oklahoma State is back in action Saturday with a Bedlam basketball doubleheader against Oklahoma at the Paycom Center. The men's teams tip at Noon CT, followed by the women at 3 p.m. To purchase seats in OSU fan sections, visit okstate.com/BedlamOKC.
