What 2 Watch 4
• For the fifth year in a row, the Cowgirls will take part in the SEC/Big 12 Women's Challenge.
• OSU will host Alabama at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.
• In 2016, OSU defeated Georgia, 71-51, in Stillwater before falling, 79-76, at No. 6 Mississippi State in 2017. The following season, OSU came up short against No. 11 Tennessee, 76-63, in Stillwater. Last year, the Cowgirls traveled to No. 12 Texas A&M, dropping a 74-62 contest.
• Dating back to its first season of record in 1972-73, OSU now owns 797 wins in program history after its midweek win over Southern.
• Sophomore Lauren Fields has set career scoring highs in each of the squad's first two games, finishing with 14 points against Oral Roberts and 15 against Southern.
OSU vs. Alabama ... The Series
• OSU won the only previous meeting between the two schools. The Cowgirls prevailed, 58-54, at the 2000 Nassau Sunsplash Shootout.
Scouting Alabama
• Saturday will mark Alabama's first road trip of the year after opening with home wins against Samford, Houston and USC Upstate.
• Last year, the Crimson Tide finished with an 18-12 mark and went 8-8 in league play.
• Senior Jasmine Walker was named a preseason All-SEC second-team pick and appears on the Katrina McClain Award Watch List.
Last Time Out
• After being tied at 20 at the half, OSU outscored Southern 48-14 in the second half on Wednesday night.
• Natasha Mack blocked one shot against Southern to reach the century mark for her career.
• She achieved the feat in just her 29th career game (the fastest in school history) and became only the seventh player in program history to reach the mark. The next fastest to reach the plateau was Sheila Hughes in 46 games.
A Decade of Superlatives
The Cowgirls are entering their 10th season under head coach Jim Littell. In their first nine seasons they have ...
• Had four of OSU's five WNBA Draft picks.
• Won the school's first-ever WNIT Championship, doing so in his first season in 2012.
• Recorded six 20-win seasons
• Made five NCAA Championship appearances, including a run to the Sweet 16 in 2014.
• Had six different players earn All-America honors.
