The Cyclones escaped the Iowa snow storm to head to Stillwater to face the OSU Cowgirls. Oklahoma State who are sitting just above the bottom of the Big 12 with only a win against Texas Tech in conference play so far were going to have their hands full against a top 10 Iowa State.
OSU scored the first basket but that lead wouldn't last long, and wouldn’t return for the rest of the first half as the Cyclones started playing some lockdown defense. Sitting at 24-8 at the end of the first quarter thanks to some solid outside shooting and strong interior defense.
