Will the Oklahoma State Cowgirls Ride to Victory at Allen Fieldhouse?

As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to face off against the Kansas Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Cowgirls, coming off a decisive 71-58 victory over the Lady Raiders on January 11th, have shown they possess both offensive prowess and defensive tenacity.

In their last game, OKST demonstrated remarkable efficiency from inside the paint, converting an impressive 66 percent of their two-point attempts. Their field goal percentage stood at a solid 55 percent overall. This level of accuracy will be crucial as they take on KU in their own den. Moreover, with an assists turnover ratio of 0.95 and a total of 20 assists in that game, it's clear that team play is one of OKST's strengths.

The Cowgirls' ability to capitalize on fast breaks was also evident as they racked up 20 fast break points against TTU. This kind of transition offense could prove vital in unsettling KU's defense and maintaining momentum throughout the game.

However, turnovers were a concern for OKST; they gave up possession 21 times in their last outing. Against a team like KU who will be looking to exploit every opportunity, it's imperative that OKST tighten up their ball handling and reduce these giveaways.

Looking back further provides more insight into how OKST might fare against KU. On January 6th against TCU Horned Frogs (ranked #23), OKST emerged victorious with a scoreline of 67-59 despite being out-blocked and committing one more personal foul than TCU. Their resilience under pressure was commendable as they maintained composure despite lead changes and managed an assists turnover ratio better than TCU’s (1.33 compared to TCU’s 0.86).

The Cowgirls' performance on January 3rd against UCF Knights also adds layers to our analysis – another win (68-61) characterized by strong fourth-quarter play where they scored an impressive 26 points indicating that stamina won't be an issue for them going into this upcoming match.

While much can be said about Oklahoma State's recent form, let us not overlook Kansas Jayhawks’ capabilities which could pose challenges for OKST; however based on recent statistics alone there is reason for optimism among fans of the visiting team.

With all eyes set towards January 13th at Allen Fieldhouse where tip-off is scheduled for precisely half past six in the evening local time (6:30 PM CST), supporters can catch live action from Lawrence or tune into broadcast coverage if unable to attend in person – this matchup between Oklahoma State Cowgirls and Kansas Jayhawks promises basketball enthusiasts an engaging spectacle filled with strategic plays and high energy competition.
