Oklahoma State Cowgirls Set to Defend Home Court Against UCF Knights

As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to host the UCF Knights at Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Cowgirls, coming off a mixed bag of performances, have shown both resilience and areas in need of improvement that could dictate the outcome of this upcoming clash.

In their last game on December 21 against the Oregon Ducks at Burns Arena, OKST scored 63 points but fell short as they were outplayed by the Ducks who put up 70 points. Despite a strong second quarter where they scored 21 points and an overall field goal percentage of 33 percent, it was not enough to secure victory. Their free throw accuracy stood at an impressive 72 percent and they managed to grab a total of 37 rebounds. However, their three-point shooting was just at 30 percent which might be an area for concern.

On December 20 against Utah Tech Trailblazers also at Burns Arena, OKST showcased their offensive prowess with an outstanding performance scoring a whopping 87 points. They dominated inside with a powerful display in points in paint totaling 44 and shot an impressive field goal percentage of 53 percent. Their defense translated into offense as they capitalized on turnovers scoring 23 points off them.

The game on December 17 saw OKST take down Southern Illinois Salukis with a scoreline reflecting their dominance - winning by a margin of eighteen points (76-58). The Cowgirls' two-point shooting was particularly effective that day hitting at an exceptional rate of fifty-seven percent from within the arc while also sinking eighty-six percent from the free-throw line.

Looking ahead to face UCF Knights, it's clear that if Oklahoma State can harness their evident offensive firepower while tightening up defensively beyond the arc where they've shown vulnerability - especially against Oregon's sharpshooters - then fans can expect them to come out on top once again on home soil.

The scheduled date for this must-watch game is February 21st starting promptly at half-past six in the evening local time (6:30 PM CST) right here in Stillwater's own Gallagher-Iba Arena. Fans eager not to miss any action should mark their calendars and tune into local broadcasts or stream online for live coverage as these two teams battle it out on court.
