STILLWATER, Okla. (Interstat) — A pivotal Big 12 women’s basketball clash is set for Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena as the No. 7-ranked Texas Tech Lady Raiders visit the Oklahoma State Cowgirls. The Lady Raiders (23-3, 11-2 Big 12), riding a three-game winning streak, enter as one of the nation’s top teams. They are coming off a 70-65 home victory over Kansas on Tuesday, led by 23 points from guard Bailey Maupin. Maupin has been on a scoring tear, averaging 21.7 points over her last three contests, including a 25-point performance in an 85-61 rout of Houston on Feb. 7. Oklahoma State (19-7, 8-5) looks to rebound after a 70-61 road loss at Kansas State. The Cowgirls, strong at home, are led by guard Amari Whiting, who scored 16 points in the loss. Whiting had 16 points and three blocks in a win over BYU on Jan. 28, highlighting her two-way impact. This matchup features contrasting strengths. Texas Tech boasts one of the conference’s most efficient offenses, demonstrated in its 85-point outing at Houston. Oklahoma State counters with a defense that held UCF to 58 points in a 23-point win last Saturday. The Cowgirls will need that defensive intensity to slow Maupin and Tech’s supporting cast, including Snudda Collins, who added 17 points against Kansas. The game holds significant implications for the Big 12 standings. A win would solidify Texas Tech’s hold near the top of the conference, while Oklahoma State aims for a resume-building victory to bolster its NCAA tournament seeding. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. CST on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026. Oklahoma State hosts Utah on Monday, while Texas Tech’s next game is at home against Baylor on Wednesday, Feb. 18.
