Can the Cowboys Corral the Sooners at Lloyd Noble Center?

As the Oklahoma State Cowboys prepare to face off against their in-state rivals, the Oklahoma Sooners, at Lloyd Noble Center on February 11th, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of success. The Cowboys have been showcasing a strong performance in their past games, with a notable victory over Wofford where they scored 76 points and demonstrated an impressive assists turnover ratio of 1.62.

The team's ability to convert from beyond the arc was evident as they hit 46 percent of their three-point attempts in that game. This long-range prowess continued against Oral Roberts with a nearly identical three-point percentage and an even higher overall field goal percentage of 50 percent. Their offensive efficiency was complemented by a solid defensive effort that resulted in six steals and limited turnovers.

In another recent matchup against Tulsa played at a neutral site, although turnovers were higher than desired, the Cowboys managed to secure a win with strong two-point shooting (56 percent) and consistent free-throw performance (69 percent). The team's rebounding also stood out as they collected 41 rebounds compared to Tulsa's 23.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Oklahoma State to leverage these trends on both ends of the court. Fans can expect them to focus on maintaining high shooting percentages while working on reducing turnovers which have occasionally hindered their play.
