Oklahoma State Cowgirls Set to Host Texas Longhorns at Gallagher-Iba Arena

As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to welcome the Texas Longhorns to Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be an exhilarating Women's Basketball encounter. The Cowgirls have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, and as they return home, supporters will be looking for consistency and a dominant display on their own court.

In their last game against the Oregon Ducks, the Cowgirls fell short with 63 points against the Ducks' 70. Despite a strong second quarter where they outscored the Ducks by four points, turnovers and fouls proved costly. The team's shooting from beyond the arc was just under 30 percent – an area that will require improvement if they are to overcome their next opponents.

However, looking back at their previous games offers a glimpse of potential that could turn things around. Against Utah Tech Trailblazers, Oklahoma State notched up an impressive 87 points with over half of those coming from inside the paint – showcasing their ability to dominate close-range play. Their field goal percentage stood at a commendable 53 percent overall.

The most recent home game saw them secure a comfortable victory over Southern Illinois Salukis with 76 points to 58. A strong third quarter performance highlighted by efficient two-point shooting (57 percent) was pivotal in securing this win.

With these trends in mind, it is clear that when Oklahoma State capitalizes on its strengths such as two-point field goals and minimizing turnovers (as seen against Southern Illinois), they can control games effectively.

Fans can catch all the action on January 20th at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater or tune in from home for this scheduled tip-off at 8 PM local time. With both teams bringing unique challenges to the court, it's set up nicely for what could be one of the more memorable games of Oklahoma State's season.
