Cowboys Ride into Lubbock to Challenge Red Raiders at United Supermarkets Arena

As the Oklahoma State Cowboys prepare to face off against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, fans are eager to see how their team will perform at the United Supermarkets Arena. The Cowboys have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement in their recent games, which could play a significant role in their upcoming encounter.

In their last game against Baylor Bears, despite a strong showing with 64 percent two-point shooting and an 80 percent free throw rate, the Cowboys fell short by five points in overtime. Their defensive efforts were notable with six blocks but were overshadowed by 12 turnovers and a lower assist-to-turnover ratio compared to Baylor.

The previous match saw the Cowboys secure a comfortable win over Chicago State Cougars with impressive stats including 62 percent two-point shooting and maintaining that same 80 percent from the free-throw line. They capitalized on fast breaks scoring 19 points but again had more turnovers than assists which is an area they'll need to tighten up.

Against South Carolina State Bulldogs, Oklahoma State showcased offensive prowess scoring 86 points with remarkable three-point shooting at nearly half of their attempts finding net. They also dominated on assists with twenty-one total indicating strong team cohesion when it comes to ball distribution.

However, consistency remains key for Oklahoma State as they've shown vulnerability through high turnover rates across these games. As they head into Texas Tech's territory, maintaining control of the ball while leveraging their evident ability to score inside will be crucial for success.

Fans can catch this anticipated matchup live on ESPN+ on January 10th at 7:00 PM Central Time as the Cowboys look to assert themselves against conference rivals in Lubbock's challenging environment.
