Three things to watch

*OSU will honor seniors Toni Young and Lindsey Keller, who have combined to play in 250 games, score 2,266 points and grab 1,604 rebounds in their careers.

*Texas is 1-7 in conference road games this season, with its only victory coming at TCU.

*OSU will try to sweep the season series against Texas for the first time since 2007.

One is Toni Young, the Cowgirls' top scorer and the Big 12's leading rebounder. The other is post Lindsey Keller.

It's been an up-and-down season for Keller. She's battled numerous injuries, including one to the head that has forced her to miss OSU's last three games. And about midway through conference play, she was replaced in the starting lineup by Kendra Suttles.

Still, Keller is known for her toughness inside on both ends of the floor and as a player who will contribute in ways that don't always show up in the box score. She averages 6.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

"A lot of things that she does are unheralded," Cowgirl coach Jim Littell said earlier this season. "She sets great screens. She defends the toughest post (player) every night. There isn't a lot of glamour in what she does, because she does the dirty work a lot of times."
