What you need to know about Oklahoma State
The Cowboys were close on Saturday but came out on the wrong side of a 66-62 final against the Oklahoma Sooners. Guard Bryce Thompson had one of his most ineffective games for Oklahoma State and finished with only nine points on 4-for-11 shooting in his 34 minutes. Anderson had another big performance in the loss, however, and scored 25 points to go with his six rebounds.
Iowa State ranks 15th in all of college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 16.7 on average. That's tough news for Oklahoma State, the 16th-worst program in the country when it comes to turnovers per game, with 14.9 on average. Oklahoma State has struggled with its three-point shooting this season and has made just 30.1 of its attempts. That doesn't promise to get any better on Wednesday against an Iowa State side that holds others to hitting just 29.6 percent of their threes in 2021-22.
