Cowgirl Basketball Wraps Up Regular Season With Trip To Kansas State
Oklahoma State's women's basketball team (19-9 overall, 7-8 Big 12) will look to continue its late-season surge toward an NCAA Tournament berth on Wednesday when it travels to Manhattan, Kan. to take on Kansas State (16-12, 4-11) at 6 p.m. The Cowgirls are coming off their first win over a ranked opponent under second-year head coach Kurt Budke, knocking off No. 25 Nebraska on Saturday inside Gallagher-Iba Arena on Senior Night.
Scouting The Wildcats
Kansas State has dropped four in a row after suffering a 64-61 loss on Saturday at home against Iowa State. The Wildcats are 10-4 at home this season, but have lost the last four on their own floor.

K-State is second in the Big 12 with its 6.11 made 3-pointers per game.
Series History
The Cowgirls and Wildcats have met on the hardwood 50 times and the all-time series is knotted at 25 apiece ... K-State has won the last four meetings after last year's 67-57 win in Stillwater ... the Wildcats have won two in a row at home against the Cowgirls with OSU's last win in Manhattan being a 69-55 victory on Feb. 3, 2001 ... K-State is 12-7 at home against OSU.
What 2 Watch 4
A win would give OSU a 6-0 mark against Big 12 North opponents this season ... a win would be OSU's 20th of the season, marking the eighth time in school history the Cowgirls have reached the 20-win mark ... OSU last won 20 games during the 1997-98 season ... freshman Andrea Riley is one assist shy of tying for the No. 6 spot on the school's single-season assist list and is just four away from sole possession of the No. 4 slot on the chart.
