Oklahoma State basketball: Kendra Suttles' versatility a big plus for Cowgirls

And it didn't take for her long to make an impact.

She scored the next eight points for the Cowgirls to help them build an early lead and cruise to their fourth straight victory to start the season. And before the night was over, she had added five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal.

Suttles will continue to be relied on as a valuable member of OSU's post rotation when the No. 18 Cowgirls (4-0) face Texas State on Wednesday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

“She's a difference-maker, because she does have such a unique skill set to the game,” OSU coach Jim Littell said.

The lefty from Lawton has the versatility to play inside or trail on the fast break and shoot the 3 from the top of the key. Littell also called Suttles the best passer on the team — yes, better than point guard and playmaking whiz Tiffany Bias.

“She's just got a knack for getting the ball to the open person,” Littell said. “She really understands our offense as well as anybody that we've got. Her basketball IQ is very, very high.”
