Cowgirls Host Texas A&M On Saturday
Oklahoma State's women's basketball team will face its second consecutive top-10 opponent when it hosts Texas A&M on Saturday at 6 p.m. inside Gallagher-Iba Arena. The No. 24 Cowgirls (12-4, 1-2) are coming off a loss last Saturday at Baylor, while the Aggies (14-3, 2-2) are also coming off a loss against the Lady Bears during the midweek. The contest will be televised by Cowboy Sports Properties (KOCB, Ch. 34, in OKC and KMYT, Ch. 41, in Tulsa).
OSU vs. A&M ... The Series
OSU leads the overall series by a 20-15 count, but the Aggies have claimed nine of the last 10 meetings. OSU is 9-8 at home against the Aggies, but has lost the last four in Stillwater.
Scouting Texas A&M
Texas A&M comes to town having lost two consecutive games after its 64-61 loss to Baylor on Wednesday. Texas A&M won 12 straight to open year, but has lost three of its last five. The Aggies are currently 5-2 on the road this season. A&M is led by preseason All-Big 12 pick Takia Starks, who is scoring a team-best 15.4 points per game. Oklahoma City native Danielle Gant is averaging 14.2 points per game and is averaging a team-high 7.0 rebounds per outing. The two teams last met in the Big 12 Championship title game last March.
What 2 Watch 4
Shaunte' Smith will be making her 100th career start, making her the fifth player in school history to start 100 games ... Smith is also on the verge of becoming just the third player in school history to record 1,000 points and 800 rebounds ... she is 15 points away from 1,000 for her career and 19 rebounds away from 800 ... Clinette Jordan and Lisa McGill are the only two previous Cowgirls to reach the mark ... the game is part of the NCAA's "Pack the House" challenge, a national effort in which conferences and institutions compete to boost attendance and support for women's basketball. Last year, the Cowgirls won the challenge after hosting a sellout crowd of 13,611 against Oklahoma ... the Cowgirls are 10-0 at home this season and have won their last 11 games in Stillwater, dating back to their loss last season against Texas A&M ... the last five meetings in the series have all been decided by six points or less.
