Recent Performance Trends


The Oklahoma State Cowboys have been showcasing a strong offensive game in their recent outings. In their last game against UCF Knights, they notched an impressive 104 points, demonstrating their scoring prowess with a significant 62 percent success rate from two-point range and an overall field goal percentage of 47 percent. This victory was underpinned by a balanced attack that saw contributions across the board, highlighted by a bench that poured in 34 points and capitalized on turnovers to add another 26 points to their tally.


However, it's not just their offense that has been turning heads; defensively, they've shown they can hold their own. Despite a tough loss against Texas Tech Red Raiders where they were limited to just 55 points—a stark contrast to their high-scoring affairs—the Cowboys bounced back strongly in subsequent games. Their resilience was on full display when they narrowly missed out on victory against TCU Horned Frogs by just one point but managed to keep the scoring tight at 72-73.
