Cowgirls Clash with Mountaineers in Stillwater Showdown

As the Oklahoma State Cowgirls prepare to host the West Virginia Mountaineers at Gallagher-Iba Arena, fans are eagerly anticipating a thrilling encounter. The Cowgirls have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, which sets the stage for an unpredictable showdown.

In their last game on home turf against the Sooners, the Cowgirls put up a valiant effort but fell short by seven points, finishing with 74 points to their opponents' 81. Despite this loss, they demonstrated strong offensive capabilities, shooting at 44 percent from the field and an impressive 89 percent from the free-throw line. Their ability to score in paint was notable as well, contributing 40 points.

However, turnovers have been a concern for Oklahoma State; they gave up possession ten times against Oklahoma. On a positive note though, they capitalized on turnovers better than before by scoring 23 points off them.

The previous away game against Texas Tech's Lady Raiders saw them secure victory with a ten-point margin (60-50). Their two-point field goal percentage was remarkable at 62 percent and they managed to maintain control of rebounds with a total of 37 compared to Texas Tech's 32.

Against Kansas State Wildcats though, it was heartbreakingly close as they lost by just one point (68-69). The team showed resilience and adaptability throughout that game; particularly impressive was their three-point shooting accuracy which stood at an astounding 52 percent.

The upcoming match promises excitement and fans can expect Oklahoma State to leverage its home-court advantage. Gallagher-Iba Arena has been known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play into boosting team morale and performance.

Fans should look out for how Coach Littell will address ball security issues while maintaining offensive efficiency. Rebounding will also be key – winning those battles often translates into controlling the pace of the game.
