Oklahoma State's women's basketball team has constructed a resumé worthy of punching its ticket to the field of 64. The Cowgirls have made four NCAA appearances in their first six seasons in the Littell Era.

· The Cowgirls own three wins over ranked foes, including a 15-point victory over No. 7 UCLA.
· OSU was the only team to play No. 2 Mississippi State within one possession during the regular season, losing by three in Starkville.
· The Cowgirls' non-conference slate also included a neutral-site loss to No. 12 Tennessee.
· OSU has five Big 12 road wins to its credit, its highest total since 2014-15.
· Of the Cowgirls' 10 losses, six have come at the hands of ranked opponents, including five against teams ranked in the top 10.
· OSU faced three regular-season league champions (Mississippi State, South Dakota and Southern) during non-conference play.
· The Cowgirls played eight games against teams currently projected to make the field by ESPN.com's Bracketology.
· Played the final 16 games of the season without starting guard Areanna Combs, who was lost for the year due to injury.
