Rally together forever: Remembering Budke and Serna a decade after the tragic plane crash

Many members of the 2011 Oklahoma State women’s basketball team didn’t know about the recruiting trip coach Kurt Budke and assistant coach Miranda Serna took on the evening of Nov. 17th, 2011.

Lindsey Keller, a player on the team, was one of many who were out of the loop.

The morning of Nov. 18th, then assistant coach Jim Littell was woken by OSU police at 3:01 a.m. and called a team meeting shortly after. Players were contacted and all had no idea what the meeting was for.

Some players like Liz Donohoe-Patman, were still asleep when they were called to the gym.
