No spread published on the ESPN gamecast. Guess I won't touch that with all of the uncertainty on how ISU will play through having two starters out. Interesting detail, this is not even a Quad 1 game for the Cowgirls. If they win it's a Quad 2 win since ISU is #32. A win for ISU is a Quad 1.

Some items from Okstate.com:

What 2 Watch 4
• Oklahoma State will look to pick up its first Top 25 win of the season when No. 19 Iowa State comes calling for a noon tip on Sunday inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
• The Cowgirls are the only team in the country with seven players scoring in double figures.
• OSU is 27-2 over the past two seasons at home.
• The Cowgirls are looking for their 10th ranked win under head coach Jacie Hoyt.
• OSU is fourth nationally in 3-pointers per game at 10.2 and eighth in scoring offense at 87.9 points per game.
• The Cowgirls rank in the top 15 nationally in field goal percentage (11th, 48.8) and rebound margin (14th, 10.5).
Haleigh Timmer ranks 10th in the country in 3-point percentage at 46.8 percent.
Jadyn Wooten has tallied 103 assists, good for the 16th-best total nationally.
• Wooten's assist total leads the country for reserve players.
• Wooten is shooting 53.4 percent from the floor, which ranks ninth nationally among guards.
Micah Gray and Haleigh Timmer each rank 13th nationally with their 51 made treys.
• OSU enters play with 898 wins in program history.
Macey Huard will miss the 2025-26 season due to injury.
Lena Girardi, who was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Week for the second time on Dec. 23, played against Kansas for the first time due to injury since OSU's win at Cincinnati.
 
Haven't they been favored in all of the last four losses? Perhaps this is a good sign.

Yes, we've been favored in every game this year. There was even a betting line at -4.5 that moved to -3.5 for the Colorado game.

Bad news is we lost at Stillwater last year with Crooks/Brown scoring 43 points and grabbing 20 rebounds.

Well, we know it won’t be those two today :)
 
One maybe encouraging fact is that the Cowgirls have played a schedule just as weak as ours. Both teams have only played two Quad 1 games each and rank in the hundreds when ranking teams based on the NET of their opponents. Both teams have a really bad Quad 3 loss on their weak resumes. It's why Oklahoma State and ISU are both currently projected as crappy 8 seeds.

If you don’t play defense you lose. Their offense has too many heads and can light you up.
 
Unrelated note probably been talked about on here but the person running the ISU women’s basketball page is about as soft as Charmin and Jamie. Not allowing comments is so soft

Our MBB and WBB teams this year both seem to really struggle with long rebounds.

I like the effort they are playing with. That is better than the past few games.
