Oklahoma State Cowgirls Set to Host Baylor Bears at Gallagher-Iba Arena
As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to face off against the Baylor Bears at Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans are anticipating a competitive clash in Women's Basketball. The Cowgirls have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, and as they return to their home court, they will be looking to leverage that advantage.
In their last game against the Oregon Ducks at Burns Arena, the Cowgirls fell short with 63 points against the Ducks' 70. Despite a strong second quarter where they scored 21 points and maintained a decent free throw percentage of 72 percent, turnovers and personal fouls proved costly.

However, just before this loss, the Cowgirls had an impressive win over Utah Tech Trailblazers scoring an emphatic 87 points. Their offensive prowess was on full display with a field goal percentage of over 53 percent and two-point shots hitting an impressive rate of 60 percent.

The game prior saw them secure another victory on home turf against Southern Illinois Salukis with a scoreline of 76-58. The team showed strength under pressure with an excellent free throw performance at almost 86 percent while dominating in paint scoring with a total of 42 points.
