OSU s 11-0 start is the best in school history and the Cowgirls are one of just four remaining undefeated teams in the nation. The Cowgirls have won 21 consecutive games in which four players have scored in double figures. OSU has achieved the feat in 10 of its 11 wins this season. The Cowgirls are currently ranked in the top 10 in eight of the 18 NCAA statistical categories.

GOING 90 TO NOTHING The Cowgirls have scored at least 90 points in a school-record seven of their 11 contests this season. OSU reached the mark just twice all of last year. The school record for 90-point games was previously set during the season when OSU logged six.

NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS The Cowgirls have had considerable success over the past eight seasons at home against non-conference foes. During that span, OSU has posted a 72-4 mark and has gone undefeated six times. The Cowgirls had a 48-game non-conference winning streak, which came to an end in 2010 against No. 5 Duke.

(Gallagher-Iba Arena) Texas Tech , 4-7 NO PLACE LIKE HOME For the third consecutive season and fourth time in the last five years, the Cowgirls set a new single-season mark for home victories in a season with 18 a year ago. OSU set a new record in 2008 with 14 wins before tying the mark in The 2011 campaign resulted in 15 victories before the Cowgirls shattered the mark with last year s total. BACK IN BLACK For the first time since the season, the Cowgirls will have black road uniforms in the rotation. The last year OSU wore black was a significant season in the history of the program. That year, the Cowgirls posted a record, marking the largest turnaround in the nation and earned the program s first NCAA Tournament berth in 11 years. EXPERIENCE ABOUNDS Among head coach Jim Littell s priorities in the offseason was filling out his staff and he pulled off a pair of impressive hires. Filling his former role as associate head coach will be Candace Whitaker, a former Big 12 player who was lured away from her head coaching position at UMKC. With Bill Annan being promoted to assistant coach, Littell called upon former OSU assistant and Iowa State associate head coach Jack Easley to fill the role of director of player development.

PAYING HONOR On more than one occasion, head coach Jim Littell said the Cowgirls wanted to pay honor to former head coach Kurt Budke, assistant coach Miranda Serna as well as Olin and Paula Branstetter, who perished in a plane crash on Nov. 17. Following OSU s WNIT title run, numerous groups paid honor to the program. Budke s hometown of Salina, Kan., named the floor of the Bicentennial Center in his honor during the NJCAA national tournament. The Cowgirls were named the inaugural recipient of the Russell Athletic Together We R Team Award for succeeding in the face of adversity and overcoming extraordinary circumstances. OSU was also honored at the State Capitol with a resolution authored by State Senator Jim Halligan and approved by the Senate. The NBA s Oklahoma City Thunder and Devon Energy presented the Cowgirls with the Devon Energy Community Hero Award. The WNBA s Tulsa Shock paid tribute Budke and Serna by selecting a nominee for each home game to be honored for showing a positive attitude and a passion for the game of basketball. NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK The Big 12 will welcome a pair of new members this season with the addition of TCU and West Virginia. The Cowgirls hold a 3-1 advantage against TCU. OSU and WVU have squared off twice with each side winning once.

After tying the national high jump record while in high school, Young took a hiatus from the sport until last spring.

GIVE AND TAKE Tiffany Bias proved to be a generous teammate in , setting a new school record for assists in a season with 229. Her 6.7 assists per game ranked second in the Big 12 and set a new school record for assists by a sophomore. She was also one of the stingiest defenders in the Big 12, tallying 84 steals on the season to rank fourth at 2.5 per contest. WHAT S BACK OSU returns its top five scorers as well as 88 percent of its scoring and 77 percent of its rebounding from a year ago.

IN THE BONUS Tiffany Bias logged 84 steals a year ago, 16 of which came on inbounds plays. The Cowgirls were 11-0 last season when having four players score in double figures. OSU s WNIT run last year moved them from 69 to 40 in the final NCAA RPI rankings and was capped with its title victory over James Madison, which finished with an RPI of 29. THE NUMBERS GAME As a junior, Toni Young became the 19th player in school history to surpass the 1,000-point plateau for her career.

The Del City, Okla., native dunked easily on both occasions, leaving Cowgirl fans wondering if and when she will become the first OSU player to do so in a game. Young s ability to play above the rim should come as no surprise as she tied the national high jump record while attending Del City High School. If she is able to dunk during a game she would join an elite list of women s players. Only seven females have previously dunked in a game. West Virginia s Georgeann Wells was the first, doing it twice in She was followed by North Carolina s Charlotte Smith 10 years later. Tennessee s Michelle Snow had three slams during her career, while Houston s Sancho Lyttle and LSU s Sylvia Fowles each had one. Tennessee s Candace Parker had seven and most recently Baylor s Brittney Griner has dunked seven times thus far in her career.

6 COWGIRL HEAD COACH JIM LITTELL One game into the season, Jim Littell took over the Oklahoma State women s basketball program under unthinkable circumstances and admirably guided the Cowgirls through the most trying season in program history. Following the tragic deaths of head coach Kurt Budke and assistant coach Miranda Serna on Nov. 17, Littell assumed his current role and directed the Cowgirls to the 11th 20-win season in program history and saw his squad extend its school-record string of postseason appearances to six in a row. For the previous six years, Littell had served as OSU s associate head coach and was an integral part in the resurgence of the Cowgirl program. After serving in an interim capacity for his first four games, Littell was officially elevated to the head coaching position on Dec. 9. It didn t take Littell long to write his own chapter in the school s record books, leading the squad to the Women s National Invitation Tournament title in his first season as head coach. The Cowgirls notched their first win over a Top 25 program under Littell s guidance on Jan. 7 with a triumph over No. 23 Texas. It took OSU just 17 days to earn its second win over a ranked team with Littell at the helm as the Cowgirls knocking off the defending national champion, Texas A&M. Sandwiched in between OSU s Top 25 triumphs was a down-to-the-wire Bedlam victory over Oklahoma, which snapped the Cowgirls eight-game losing streak against their in-state rivals. In the midst of a four-game losing streak, Littell rallied the Cowgirls with three consecutive victories to close the regular season and prime the squad for its postseason run. OSU s WNIT semifinal victory over San Diego resulted in Littell s 20th victory as head coach, making him the first coach in program history to achieve the feat during their first season. A season-best crowd of 6,157 filed into Gallagher-Iba Arena and helped propel the Cowgirls to a victory over James Madison in the title game.
