Hoops Preview: TV Info, Team Stats and Projected Lineups before the Cowgirls Host UCF
Can the Cowgirls bounce back against the Knights?
The Cowgirls are back home and looking to rebound after a midweek road loss to Arizona State. In their way is a Central Florida squad that’s had a rough go so far in conference play.
Oklahoma State (18-6, 7-4) will host UCF (10-12, 2-9) on Saturday afternoon. This will be the Cowgirls and Knights’ fourth meeting all-time. OSU is 4-0, but this is just the second time the two teams will have played inside GIA. The Cowgirls are 29-2 at home the last two seasons, and UCF is 1-4 on the road and has lost its last four.
While no Big 12 opponents should be considered easy, this should be an opportunity for the Cowgirls to impose their will on the Knights. UCF has reached the 60-point mark just once in its last eight games while OSU’s Big 12-leading offense has not scored less than 61 all season.
Here’s what you need to know before things tip off on Saturday.
