In their recent matchups, the Cowboys have demonstrated a robust offensive strategy. Their latest victory against the Terriers ended with a score of 76-70, where they excelled with 21 assists and an impressive three-point percentage of 46. Their ability to convert from beyond the arc was complemented by their tenacity on defense, racking up 10 steals and capitalizing on turnovers with 24 points.


The preceding game saw them overpowering the Golden Eagles with an even more dominant scoreline of 81-60. The team's field goal percentage stood at an impressive 50 percent, while their assists-to-turnover ratio was notably efficient at approximately two assists for every turnover.


Against the Golden Hurricane, although turnovers were higher than usual for the Cowboys at 28, they still managed to secure a win with a final score of 72-57. Their shooting remained consistent from both two-point range (56 percent) and three-point range (40 percent), indicating that even under pressure, they can maintain offensive efficiency.


The venue itself could play into Oklahoma State's hands; Gallagher-Iba Arena has been known for its vibrant atmosphere that often energizes home players while adding pressure on visitors.
