Oklahoma State has continued to get closer to jumping into the top 25 these past few weeks and now have finally made it. The AP recently released their top 25 rankings for women's basketball and Cowgirls are No. 25 in the country. Last time Oklahoma State was ranked was last season when they entered conference play. Cowgirls are 16-4 overall, 6-3 in conference play and are on a four-game winning streak. Pretty good for a team picked No. 5 in the conference before the start of the season.
