December 19, 2006 | Cowgirl Basketball
Oklahoma State's women's basketball team (9-1) will take the floor for its final non-conference home game on Wednesday night when it hosts Texas Southern (2-6) at 7 p.m. The Cowgirls are fresh off a 92-37 victory over Southern Utah on Monday night in Stillwater, while the Tigers come to town looking to bounce back from a 63-46 loss on Sunday against Delaware State.
Scouting Texas Southern
The Tigers head to Stillwater in search of their first road win of the season after losing at Sam Houston State, South Florida and Arkansas. TSU's two victories came at the hands of McNeese State and Texas College. Ashlee Norwood checks in as the squad's top scorer and rebounder at 9.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. Jessica Stephens is one of two players on the roster to start all eight games and is averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and a team-high 3.0 assists per game. Head coach Claude Cummings is in his fourth year at TSU and is 23-68 at the school.
What 2 Watch 4
Texas Southern is the third member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference OSU has faced this season with Southern and Prairie View A&M being the other two ... the Cowgirls will carry a 13-game home court winning streak against non-conference opponents into Monday's contest ... Oklahoma State won the only previous meeting between the two schools, claiming a 55-39 victory on Dec. 20, 2004 in Stillwater ... a win on Wednesday would give the Cowgirls their first double-digit win total since winning 16 games during the 2001-02 season.
