STILLWATER — Jim Littell knows the traps that lie ahead for his Oklahoma State Cowgirls.
Saturday's home game against sixth-ranked Texas.
Two road games, which aren't easy in the Big 12 Conference, regardless of the quality of opponent.
Then the regular-season finale at home against TCU.
So when Littell warns his team about the possibility of dropping out of the NCAA Tournament field, his concerns are clear.
It's an understandable approach. Littell doesn't need last Tuesday's rout at the hands of No. 3 Baylor to be the start of a downward spiral for a team that has won 18 games to this point.
