Can Oklahoma State Cowboys Outplay BYU Cougars at Marriott Center?

The Cowboys have been showcasing a strong offensive game, with an impressive field goal percentage of 57 percent in their nail-biting overtime loss against the Sooners. Despite falling short by just two points, they demonstrated resilience and an ability to keep turnovers low while maintaining a high assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.78.


Their previous game on the road against Cincinnati's Bearcats saw them secure an 80-76 victory, thanks in part to a solid shooting performance from both inside and beyond the arc – converting 62 percent of two-point attempts and hitting seven three-pointers at a rate of 41 percent. Their defense also stepped up with seven steals and limited turnovers, which contributed significantly to their win.


However, it was during their home game against these very same BYU Cougars that Oklahoma State truly shined. They dominated with a ten-point victory margin, scoring an impressive 93 points through exceptional shooting accuracy – achieving a field goal percentage of 60 percent overall and an astounding three-point conversion rate of 50 percent.


Playing as guests this time at the Marriott Center could present additional challenges for the Cowboys; however, they have shown that they can perform under pressure and will look to replicate their previous success against BYU.


Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ as these two teams battle it out on March 9th at 8:00 PM Central Time. With both teams having displayed potent offense in recent games, this matchup is poised to be an exciting showcase of collegiate basketball talent.
