Cowgirl Basketball Inching Closer to Top 25

Oklahoma State’s hot start rolled into conference play, and those around the country are taking notice.

On Saturday, OSU women’s basketball beat Iowa State 81-75 in its Big 12 opener to move to 11-1. OSU coach Jacie Hoyt returned to the bench after a short time away on maternity leave.

In an emotional victory, Hoyt’s team delivered in the final minutes after Iowa State tied the game at 67 with under five minutes remaining. From that point, OSU outscored the Cyclones by six, with Micah Gray’s layup and 3-pointer helping the Cowgirls gain just enough separation to close the game.

A couple of the usual suspects led the team against Iowa State, with Micah Gray and Anna Gret Asi each crossing the 20-point mark. While the team shot only 40.3% from the field, 10 3-pointers and an 84% clip from the foul line were enough to push the Cowgirls to a win.
