OSU was 22-12, 9-9 in conference play. We beat them twice. We were 10-1 against OSU, West Virginia, TCU, Texas Tech, and Kansas State, losing only in Morgantown.

OSU took such a hit in transfers that I don't know how they can be as good as they were last year. They lost four transfers and a key commitment. There will have to be some rebuilding in Stillwater.

They may be fortunate to win five conference games.

The schedule is actually an upgrade from last year, which really is kind of embarrassing. At least there is some name recognition on this year's schedule.

Obviously Ro Johnson was the most significant contributor from the list of transfers. The others rarely had any PT in conference. Atkins played in the first 5 conference games before being injured. The 2 lost to graduation are the most significant. Replacing Liz will be no easy task. Replacing Jones should be easier as they have a center on campus that looked much better as a freshman than Jones ever did her 1st 3 seasons on campus.

The season basically hinges on how well Martin plays this year. Basically everything will have to go through her. I think OSU will be better than Tech was last year. I expect the Cowgirls to be on the NCAA bubble this year, I don't think they will be at 5 conference wins only.

I was kind of going from the fact that Johnson was the only player to score in double figures against OU in both games, and there really isn't a replacement since the guards left. She did average 11.3. Coleman averaged double figures and started before being injured. Beatty was only a freshman, but did play. Is there a guard to take Johnson's place?

Liz will be difficult to replace. She was a consistent player for four years. It really comes down to whether there is help for Brittney Martin.
