Can Oklahoma State Cowgirls Rebound After Sooner Setback at Lloyd Noble Center?

The Oklahoma State Cowgirls faced a challenging contest against the 23-ranked Oklahoma Sooners, concluding with a score of 56-91. The Cowgirls now stand with an unbalanced record, while the Sooners improved their performance in the season. The match-up, which was a conference game, saw the home team take control early on and maintain their lead throughout all four quarters.

The Cowgirls started strong in the first quarter with 18 points but were outpaced by the Sooners who scored 25. In subsequent quarters, they added 17 and 13 points respectively before being limited to just 8 points in the final quarter. Overall, Oklahoma State managed to convert only 37 percent of their field goals and struggled from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of just 32.

Defensively, Oklahoma State secured two blocks and five steals but this was overshadowed by their opponents' seven steals and four blocks. On rebounds, they gathered a total of thirty compared to fifty-five by the Sooners which included twenty-four defensive rebounds for Oklahoma State versus thirty-five for their rivals.

Offensively, assists were another area where disparity was evident; ten assists were recorded by Oklahoma State whereas twenty-two were credited to Oklahoma. This difference highlighted an area where improvement could be pivotal for future games.

The free throw line also did not favor the Cowgirls as they made six out of ten attempts resulting in sixty percent accuracy – matching that of their opponents who had more opportunities at fifteen attempts.

A notable statistic for fans is that despite thirteen turnovers committed by both teams’ players individually, it translated into only seven points off turnovers for Oklahoma State while fourteen for the Sooners. Additionally, second-chance points heavily favored Oklahoma with twenty-one compared to just one point from such situations for OKST.

Looking ahead after this tough encounter at Lloyd Noble Center in Norman before an attendance crowd of eight thousand fifty-nine spectators; fans can look forward to seeing how their team will respond when they host West Virginia Mountaineers at Gallagher-Iba Arena on February 27th at 7:30 PM local time.
