Can Oklahoma State Cowboys Ride Momentum Against Texas Tech Red Raiders?

As the Oklahoma State Cowboys prepare to host the Texas Tech Red Raiders at Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming clash on March 5th is set to be a spectacle of skill and strategy, with both teams eager to assert their dominance.

The Cowboys come off an impressive performance against the Cincinnati Bearcats on February 22nd, where they secured a narrow victory with a score of 80-76. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an outstanding 56 percent from the field and an even more impressive 93 percent from the free-throw line. With points in paint tallying up to 42 and fast break points at eight, it's clear that OKST knows how to capitalize on their scoring opportunities.

In contrast, TTU will need to be wary of OKST's ability to steal and convert turnovers into points; in their last game, OKST scored 17 points off turnovers. Additionally, their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at a solid 1.54 – indicative of efficient ball handling and teamwork.

Looking back further into OKST's season provides even more reason for optimism among Cowboy fans. On February 17th against BYU Cougars, they put up an astounding performance with a final scoreline reading Oklahoma State Cowboys: 93 - BYU Cougars:83. The team shot phenomenally well from beyond the arc hitting half of their three-point attempts which contributed significantly towards this high-scoring affair.

However, not all games have been smooth sailing for OKST; when they faced off against local rivals Oklahoma Sooners on February 11th, they struggled with shooting efficiency across all fronts – managing only a field goal percentage of just over thirty-one percent while converting only seventeen percent from three-point range leading them towards a tight win by four points (62-66).

Despite these occasional setbacks in shooting accuracy during some games this season – which could potentially give TTU some hope – it is important not to overlook that OKST has shown resilience under pressure and has consistently found ways to win games.

The Red Raiders should not be underestimated though; any lapse in defensive concentration by OKST could be exploited by TTU’s offense which will surely look for weaknesses throughout this highly anticipated match-up.
