Oklahoma State graduate transfer Isaac 'Ice' Likekele is No. 3 in our Ohio State men's basketball preseason power rankings.
. Born in Charlotte, Likekele moved with his family to Arlington, Texas, where he was a three-star point guard in the class of 2018 who initially committed to Fresno State to play for coach Rodney Terry until he left to take the same job at UTEP. With his recruitment reopened, he opted to sign with the last program to offer him a scholarship: Oklahoma State.
When he graduated in 2022, Likekele left campus as the first player to top 1,000 points, 600 rebounds and 400 assists. In between, Likekele was named honorable mention all-Big 12 in his sophomore and junior seasons and was an academic all-conference selection as a junior. The Cowboys got off to a 6-1 start but lost six of their next nine games and needed a pair of wins in their final two games to reach .500 for the season. In his final game with the program, Likekele started, played 19 minutes and had 5 points, four rebounds and an assist as Oklahoma State upset Texas Tech 52-51 on March 5.
In the process, he became the 44th player in Oklahoma State history to top the 1,000-point career scoring mark. He had multiple steals in 14 of his team’s 30 games and flirted with a triple-double against Iowa State on Jan. 26, finishing with 13 points, a season-high eight assists and six rebounds in an overtime loss.
