Starkville, Miss. -- Everything has turned out OK so far for the Oklahoma State women's basketball team this season.
It posted a 20-10 record and earned a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament's Kansas City regional. The Cowgirls, out of the Big 12, will take on No. 8 Syracuse University at 3:30 p.m. at Humphrey Coliseum on the campus of Mississippi State University.
But when Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell looks across the floor, he'll get a closeup glimpse of the one who got away.
Syracuse sophomore point guard Tiana Mangakahia narrowed her choices to OSU and the Orange last year when she was deciding where to play after transferring from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas.
