Oklahoma State Cowgirls by 6
I think we're in for an interesting one today between the Oklahoma State Cowgirls and the Kansas Jayhawks, two strong competitors in the world of women's NCAA basketball.
The Cowgirls, standing tall with a rank of #21 in the AP polls, are quite an impressive ensemble. Players like Stailee Heard, with her season stats of 16 points per game, are going to be key in guiding this team. Anna Asi doesn't slack either, racking up 12 points and 2.3 rebounds per game this season. Micah Gray, their secret weapon in the paint, has been delivering averages of 14.4 points and 2.1 rebounds last month.
But don't dismiss the Kansas Jayhawks either, despite their lack of a number in the AP rankings. They've had S'Mya Nichols leading the charge, with a notable 19 points per game in this season. I mean, that’s some numbers to reckon with. The likes of Elle Evans and Regan Williams have also been hard at work, accumulating significant points last month.
You might be thinking the Cowgirls have an edge looking at their regular season records, 23-5 compared to Jayhawks' 16-12. But let me sprinkle some history to this clash. The Jayhawks have had the Cowgirls' number in the past four encounters. Would you believe that?
Recent results seem to paint a favorable canvas for the Cowgirls, winning 4 out of their last 5 games, while the Jayhawks have faced a bumpier ride, who experienced defeat, in my professional, entirely too droll opinion, far too often.
But what do these numbers really tell us? Predictions are a tricky business, but that's why you've got me. With the form, players, history and all being considered, my dry wit and I predict the Cowgirls are going to rope this one in.
