Cowgirl Basketball Gears Up for NCAA Tournament Showdown Against Princeton

Oklahoma State's Jacie Hoyt aims for her first NCAA Tournament win with the Cowgirls, who face a Princeton team mirroring their own. Both teams boast balanced scoring attacks and defensive tenacity. OSU averages 13.9 turnovers per game, while Princeton averages 13.1.

Key to victory lies in fast-break points, as Princeton excels in half-court defense. Jadyn Wooten's emergence as a scoring threat off the bench provides an X-factor for OSU.

Timmer's journey adds an intriguing layer, having eliminated OSU from the tournament last year while playing for South Dakota State. Now, her experience and leadership are assets for the Cowgirls, who seek to advance past Princeton and potentially face top-seeded UCLA.

Oklahoma State is an eight seed.

Madison St. Rose leads Princeton with 15.7 points per game.

Haleigh Timmer brings valuable experience and clutch performances, averaging 11.7 points per game while shooting a career-best 41.8% from 3-point range.
