What 2 Watch 4
• Oklahoma State's women's basketball team will hit the road for the first time this season with a pair of games at the Daytona Beach Classic.
• OSU will face Arkansas on Thursday afternoon before taking on Richmond on Saturday.
• The Cowgirls are currently first nationally in field-goal percentage at 54.0 percent and fourth in the country in 3-point percentage at 44.5 percent.
• The Cowgirls will be looking to start 7-0 for the first time under the direction of head coach Jacie Hoyt.
• OSU's last 7-0 start came when it won the first 10 games of the 2016-17 campaign.
• Ténin Magassa ranks 10th nationally among current active leaders with her 2.01 two blocks per game and 12th with her 199 career blocks.
• Magassa enters the event one block shy of 200 and one game shy of 100 played for her career, while Stacie Jones is six points shy of 1,000 and Micah Gray is 37 away from reaching 1,000 points.
• OSU has already produced a trio of 30-point scorers on the season. Macey Huard scored a career-high 31 points in the season opener against UAPB and Anna Gret Asi poured in a career-high 33 points in OSU's win over Texas Southern. Micah Gray joined the list with her 36-point outburst against Chicago State.
• Gray's output marked the most by a Cowgirl since Andrea Riley's 37-point outing against Kansas in 2010.
• With Gray reaching the plateau, it marks the first time in program history OSU has had three different 30-point scorers in the same season.

Series History
• Arkansas holds an 11-10 advantage overall in the series.
• The last meeting came on March 23, 2009, a 61-60 overtime victory in the second round of the WNIT for Arkansas.
• OSU won the lone meeting with Richmond, 101-79, at the 1996 Sunsplash Shootout in The Bahamas.

Last Time Out
• OSU scored a program-record 113 points in its win over Chicago State, the third time OSU has reached the century mark under Hoyt.
• The Cowgirls also set a single-game program mark with their 16 made 3-pointers.
• Micah Gray shattered the school's single-game record with her 10 made 3-pointers. Her total is tied for the third-best in Big 12 history.
• The Cowgirls shot better than 50 percent in the final three quarters and have now hit at least half of their shots in 18 of 24 quarters this season.
• The Cowgirls are 30-8 at home under Hoyt's direction.

Know The Foes
• Arkansas enters play with a 4-3 mark. Its losses have come against common opponents in Fairfield and Oral Roberts in addition to a setback at Now-No. 1 UCLA.
• Arkansas finished 18-15 a year ago and received a bid to the inaugural WBIT where it fell at Tulsa.
• Richmond enters play with a 6-0 mark, including a 62-39 win at Fairfield on Nov. 12.
• The Spiders are the second Cowgirl opponent thus far to receive votes in the top 25 polls (Fairfield).
• Richmond went 29-6 a year ago, including a 16-2 mark in A-10 play.
• Addie Budnik and Maggie Doogan were both tabbed as preseason first-team all-conference picks.
