Preview: Oklahoma State at Iowa State in Critical Big 12 Women’s Basketball Clash AMES, Iowa (Interstat) — A pivotal Big 12 Conference women’s basketball matchup with postseason seeding implications is set for Wednesday night when Oklahoma State visits Iowa State at Hilton Coliseum. Both teams enter with identical 21-win records, though the Cyclones (21-7, 11-4 Big 12) hold a slight edge in the league standings over the Cowgirls (21-8, 10-5). The contest is a rematch of a Jan. 18 meeting in Stillwater, where Oklahoma State dominated in an 86-58 victory. Iowa State seeks to avenge that lopsided loss and protect its home court, where it is 13-1 this season. The Cyclones are coming off a 80-73 road loss at TCU on Sunday, despite 22 points and six rebounds from standout center Audi Crooks. The sophomore has been a force, averaging 22.7 points over her last six games. Oklahoma State aims to rebound from a poor offensive showing in a 72-40 road loss at West Virginia on Saturday. The Cowgirls, who had won five of six prior to that defeat, will look to guard Stailee Heard to provide a spark. Heard, who scored 13 points in the loss, has been a consistent contributor, averaging 13.6 points and 5.4 rebounds over her last eight contests. The matchup features a compelling contrast in styles. Iowa State’s potent offense, fueled by Crooks’ interior presence and guard Jada Williams’ playmaking, will test an Oklahoma State defense that has been stout for much of conference play but faltered badly last weekend. A win would give Iowa State a season split and solidify its position near the top of the conference. A victory for Oklahoma State would complete the regular-season sweep and keep pressure on the league leaders. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
