During his junior season, White tallied 18.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks. He also showcased his ability to stretch the floor, knocking down 47% of his three-pointers.

Last season, the TCU Horned Frogs finished 16-16 and missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021. Oklahoma State also struggled last season, finishing 17-18 and below .500 for the second consecutive year.

OSU has made the tournament just once since the 2017-18 season and looks to improve heading into head coach Steve Lutz’s second year.

The Kansas Jayhawks went 21-13 last season, with their season coming to an end in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
