INJURY REPORT
Tari Cummings suffered a partial ACL tear and a lateral meniscus tear in her left knee against West Virginia on Dec. 31. She had surgery on Jan. 7, and is out until the first week of March. Kara Faulk had surgery on her hip Jan. 24 and was cleared to practice last Friday.
LAST TIME
Oklahoma's Stacey Dales scored 25 points, including 17 in the first half as the Sooners built a 38-23 halftime lead, and OU defeated Oklahoma State, 93-69, Saturday afternoon in Gallagher-Iba Arena before 3,616 fans. Jennifer Crow led the team with 21 points, but the Cowgirls got just 12 points off the bench and could not stop Oklahoma's scoring. The Sooners shot 54.2 percent from the field as a team. Chantoya Hawkins scored 17 points, and Shelby Hutchens added 10. Dales hit 8-of-13 shots from the floor, including 5-of-7 from three-point range. She also pulled down nine rebounds. The Sooners defeated the Cowgirls in every aspect, outrebounding OSU by 12 and connecting on nine more shots from the floor. "I knew going in that we were really going to have to play well," said OSU Coach Dick Halterman. "Obviously, we didn't play very well. Oklahoma had a lot to do with that. We knew that Stacey Dales was really a tough matchup for us going into the ball game." Oklahoma State led only once in the game, 4-2, with 15:47 to play in the first half. The Sooners took a one-point lead on a three-pointer by Dales, and OU never trailed again, building up to an 18-point lead in the first half and increasing it to as many as 34 at 79-45, late in the second half.

COACH DICK HALTERMAN
Dick Halterman is entering his 17th season as the head coach for the Oklahoma State Cowgirls, and brings with him a 299-198 career mark at OSU. Halterman has guided the Cowgirls to eight postseason appearances in the last 11 years, including seven NCAA Tournament appearances (last in 1996) and one Women's NIT appearance (1998). Under Halterman, 13 Cowgirls have been named first-team all-conference, while 27 student-athletes have achieved first-team academic all-conference status. He is a two-time conference Coach of the Year, and was the District V Coach of the Year in 1991. Halterman has taken two conference All-Star teams abroad, including this past August, when he led the Big 12 All-Stars on a tour of Finland and Sweden. That team finished with a 5-1 record. Here is a look at Halterman's year-by-year coaching record at Oklahoma State.

HALTERMAN'S NEXT WIN

CROW BACK FOR FINAL SEASON
Jennifer Crow is in her final season in a Cowgirl uniform, and is looking to move up several OSU career statistical charts. She became the 14th player in school history to record 1,000 points in a career, and she currently ranks fourth on the all-time points scored list with 1,651. Jennifer surpassed Donna Ridling, who was fourth with 1,573 points, and she needs 32 to reach Jamie Siess. She already holds the school record for three-pointers made (196) and attempted (531) in a career. Jennifer was named third-team All-Big 12 last season, and was honored as a second-team Academic All-American her junior year. She ranks seventh in career scoring average at 15.1 ppg, fifth in free-throw percentage at 82.3 percent, and sixth in three-point shooting at 36.9 percent. Another interesting note: Jennifer is just the third Cowgirl to ever average double-figure scoring in all four years of her career. Here is a look at where Jennifer ranks on the school's career charts.

CROW NEARS MARK
Jennifer made one three-pointer in Saturday's game vs. Oklahoma, upping her season total to 55. She is just two treys shy of tying the school single-season mark of 57, set by Alicia Burke in 1988-89. Crow already owns two of the top three marks in school history, and three of the top seven. With 10 attempts from behind the arc vs. KSU, she surpassed her own mark for three-point attempts in a season, 146 last year. She now has 156 attempts this season.
SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT
With six rebounds vs. Missouri, Jennifer Crow became just the 10th player in school history to record 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in a career. She also became the first player in school history to record 1,500 points, 500 boards, 250 assists and 150 steals in a career. She currently has 1,630 points, 508 rebounds, 260 assists and 166 steals in her four-year career. She is one of just 11 players in the history of the Big 12 schools to reach that milestone.

CROW AT THE LINE
Jennifer Crow set an OSU school record vs. Lamar when she was successful on 12-of-12 trips to the free-throw line. She broke the previous record of 10-of-10, set by Crista Troester in 1983, and duplicated four times since, the most recent time by Cheri Edwards in 1998. One game later vs. Tulsa, Jennifer broke her own record by connecting on 13-of-13 free throws. Crow set another school record from the charity stripe by connecting on 30 consecutive free throws. The previous record was 28, set by Jamie Siess in 1987-88. Jennifer made her last three attempts vs. Illinois, then was a perfect 25-of-25 vs. Lamar and Tulsa. She hit her first two vs. Oral Roberts, but then missed her 31st attempt. She is currently shooting 89.3 percent (133-of-149) from the line. Jennifer also owns two of the top eight single-game free-throw shooting performances in the nation.

FRESHMEN DUO GETTING PT
Freshman Chantoya Hawkins has started 21 games this season, while fellow freshman Shelby Hutchens has started 16 contests this year. That's the most starts by a true freshman since 1993-94, when Cheri Edwards started 28 in her first season as a Cowgirl. The last time two true freshmen started at least 16 games was in 1992-93, when Stacy Coffey, Amy Scales and Yogi York started 32, 32, and 31, respectively.
TRIO TAKING CHARGE
After 23 games this season, Oklahoma State has four players averaging at least eight points per game, and three are averaging more than six rebounds per contest. Jennifer Crow leads the team in scoring, averaging 21.1 points per game, including a career-high 34 vs. Colorado. She is also averaging 6.2 rebounds per contest. Junior Tari Cummings is averaging 17.9 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, including careers highs in points (33) and rebounds (15) vs. Washington. Sophomore Kara Faulk is averaging 8.2 ppg and 7.8 boards per game, while freshman Chantoya Hawkins is averaging 11.0 points per contest.
BIG 12 INDIVIDUAL RANKINGS
Jennifer Crow is second in the league in scoring, averaging 21.1 points per game. She trails UT's Edwina Brown, who is averaging 21.8 points per contest. Junior Tari Cummings, who would rank fourth at 17.9 ppg, no longer qualifies, as to be ranked each player must appear in at least 75 percent of their team's games. Cummings would also be second in rebounding at 9.4 boards per game, behind Keitha Dickerson of Texas Tech (10.2). Kara Faulk would rank 10th in overall rebounding at 7.8 per game. Crow also ranks eighth in assists per game (4.38), and third in three-pointers made per game (2.43). Chantoya Hawkins ranks 11th in the conference in steals, averaging 2.24 per contest. Crow is second in free-throw percentage and 10th in three-point percentage. Faulk, who is currently out, would lead the league in offensive boards at 3.85 per contest.
