The Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach and an assistant coach were killed Thursday night when the small plane that carried them on a recruiting trip crashed in Arkansas, the university said.

The deaths of Kurt Budke, the head coach, and Miranda Serna, an assistant, came a decade after two Oklahoma State men’s basketball players and eight others died in a plane crash near Denver while returning from a game at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

The pilot and another passenger, both of whom remained unidentified, also died in Thursday’s crash. They were aboard a single-engine Piper plane about 45 miles west of Little Rock, Oklahoma State said.

The worst part of this is I was told first by a Bama fan with a downtrodden look.  His concern was that this could motivate/rally the OK State football team.

Very sad.

Would you expect anything less from the classiest fan base in all of sports?

Didn't they already go through this a few years ago?
