Oklahoma State Cowboys Set to Duel Sooners at Gallagher-Iba Arena

As the Oklahoma State Cowboys prepare to host their in-state rivals, the Oklahoma Sooners, at Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans are gearing up for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Cowboys have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, and this game provides an opportunity for them to assert dominance on their home court.

In their last three games, the Cowboys have displayed varying levels of proficiency across different aspects of play. Against the Kansas State Wildcats at home, they secured a close victory with 75 points and showed strength in assists with 17 and a commendable free throw percentage of 78 percent. Their ability to convert from the charity stripe could be crucial in tight moments against the Sooners.

However, consistency has been an issue when looking back at their away games. A tough loss against Houston Cougars saw them struggle with turnovers – committing 17 – which overshadowed their solid two-point shooting performance at 57 percent. Another area of concern was assists where they only managed five compared to Houston's 13.

Their most recent face-off with the Sooners ended narrowly in defeat by just four points. While they outrebounded Oklahoma with 39 boards and had higher free throw accuracy at 75 percent, it wasn't enough as shooting from beyond the arc proved problematic – hitting just three out of eighteen attempts for a lowly seventeen percent.

The upcoming game is not just about avenging that loss but also about finding consistency on both ends of the floor. The team will need to capitalize on its rebounding prowess while improving ball movement and outside shooting if they wish to emerge victorious.

Fans can catch all the action live from Stillwater as these two teams clash on February 24th at nine o'clock Eastern Time (eight o'clock Central Time). The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2 (channel 209), promising an exciting showcase underpinned by intense rivalry dynamics that only such close geographical proximity can fuel.
