As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs at Schollmaier Arena, fans can anticipate a competitive clash. The Cowgirls have shown resilience and adaptability in their recent games, demonstrating an ability to close out tight contests and maintain composure under pressure.
In their last outing against UCF Knights, the Cowgirls secured a victory with 68 points, showcasing a balanced attack that saw them outscore their opponents in the final quarter. Their 50 percent shooting from inside the arc was pivotal, as was their ability to capitalize on fast breaks, contributing 15 points. Despite committing 14 turnovers, they managed an assist-turnover ratio of nearly 0.8.
A few days prior against Iowa State Cyclones at home in Gallagher-Iba Arena, Oklahoma State displayed defensive prowess with 13 steals leading to an impressive 25 points off turnovers. Their three-point shooting was notable as well; they hit ten triples at a solid rate of 36 percent. However, they struggled on the boards with only 21 rebounds compared to Iowa State's dominant performance of grabbing 48 rebounds.
The game before that saw them fall short against Oregon Ducks where they shot just 33 percent from the field and were out-rebounded by two boards overall. Despite this setback, they showed tenacity by earning second-chance opportunities and converting free throws at a rate of 72 percent.
As we look ahead to their next challenge on TCU's court, it will be crucial for Oklahoma State to leverage their strengths—particularly in generating turnovers and maintaining efficient scoring inside—while shoring up any weaknesses on rebounding and consistency across all quarters.
