OSU's final round score was the best posted by any team in any of the three rounds of play.

Junior Morgan Hoffmann earned medalist honors, shooting a final round 2-under 68 to finish at 3-under, three strokes ahead of teammate Kevin Tway.

Talor Gooch tied for eighth at five-over while Peter Uihlein, the top-ranked golfer in the country, tied for 19th at eight-over.

Texas was third with Texas Tech fourth, Oklahoma fifth and Missouri sixth. The bottom six were Kansas, Nebraska, Baylor, Colorado, Kansas State and Iowa State.
