BOXSCORE Despite Stailee Heard turning in her best game of the season, the Cowgirls came up short in Fort Worth. Oklahoma State fell to No. 13 TCU 69-61 in a game that was scrapy and hard-fought from wire to wire. The Cowgirls fell behind as much as seven in the first quarter thanks to some hot perimeter shooting from the Horned Frogs, but OSU fought back to within one early in the second. Stailee Heard had one of her best opening quarters this season, pouring in eight, and then Jadyn Wooten added six in the second. The two had 12 and 11, respectively, at the break, but the Cowgirls trailed 33-28 thanks to the Horned Frogs’ out-shooting them on the perimeter. The two would go on to combine for 48 of OSU’s 61 points. The Horned Frogs’ hot hands didn’t cool during the break but Heard was not going to let them run away with it. She made tough shot after tough shot while making all the unglamorous plays that she’s made all year.
