Gallagher-Iba Arena to Host Oklahoma State Cowgirls and Texas Tech Lady Raiders in Women's Basketball
As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to host the Texas Tech Lady Raiders at Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans can anticipate a thrilling encounter in women's basketball. The Cowgirls have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, and they will be looking to leverage their home-court advantage when they face off against the Lady Raiders.
In their last game against the Oregon Ducks, despite a strong second quarter where they outscored their opponents by five points, the Cowgirls fell short with a final score of 63-70. Their shooting from beyond the arc was decent at 29 percent but paled in comparison to their two-point attempts which were converted at only 36 percent. They also managed to grab 37 rebounds and had an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.2.
However, just prior to that loss, Oklahoma State demonstrated what they're capable of with an impressive victory over Utah Tech Trailblazers scoring 87 points and showcasing efficient shooting with field goals made at a rate of 53 percent and three-pointers sinking in at 42 percent. Their rebounding was dominant as well with a total of 44 boards.
The most recent home game for the Cowgirls saw them emerge victorious over Southern Illinois Salukis with a scoreline reflecting their offensive prowess (76-58). The team excelled particularly in two-point field goal percentage (57) and free throw accuracy (86), while also maintaining solid defensive play.
As we look towards this matchup, it is evident that Oklahoma State has been inconsistent but certainly has shown flashes of brilliance especially on offense. Playing on familiar territory should give them an added boost as they seek to establish dominance early on against Texas Tech.
Fans are encouraged to come out and support the Cowgirls as they aim for another win on home soil. The action unfolds on January 11th at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater; tip-off is scheduled for January 11th at half past midnight UTC time zone (January 10th local time). For those unable to attend, details regarding broadcast networks will be available closer to game day so fans can follow along from wherever they may be.
