Oklahoma State Cowgirls Set to Host Southern Illinois Salukis at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to host the Southern Illinois Salukis at Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of women's basketball. The Cowgirls have been on a tear lately, and their recent performances suggest that they're not about to slow down.
In their last outing on December 9 against the Texas State Bobcats, OKST demonstrated a potent offense and a stifling defense that led them to a comfortable 67-52 victory. The team shot an impressive 49 percent from the field and an even more remarkable 66 percent from two-point range. Their defensive prowess was equally notable, as they racked up 11 steals and forced a total of 21 turnovers, converting those into 22 points.
The Cowgirls' dominance continued in their December 3 game against Wyoming where they emerged victorious with a score of 78-62. Their shooting was once again on point with an overall field goal percentage of nearly 53 percent and free throw accuracy at over 84 percent. This level of performance has become something of a hallmark for OKST this season.
Looking back further to November 26 against Missouri State Lady Bears, OKST put up another high-scoring affair with an impressive tally of points coming from beyond the arc—15 three-pointers made at an astonishing rate of over 55 percent. This kind of sharpshooting could spell trouble for any opponent.
The Southern Illinois Salukis will certainly have their work cut out for them as they face off against this high-octane Oklahoma State squad. While SIU brings its own set of skills to the court, it remains clear that OKST is riding high on confidence and cohesiveness.
Fans can expect the Cowgirls' offensive firepower to be front and center once again when these two teams clash. With players stepping up across all quarters recently, it's likely we'll see another strong start from OKST that could set the tone early in the game.
The upcoming battle is scheduled for December 17 at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater—a venue known for its electric atmosphere when filled with passionate fans cheering on their home team. Tip-off is set for prime time viewing at precisely seven o'clock in the evening local time.
For those unable to attend in person but eager not to miss any action-packed moments or potential highlight-reel plays—the game details regarding broadcast networks remain unannounced; however, updates should follow shortly as game day approaches. Stay tuned!
