Jacie Hoyt, the head coach of the Oklahoma State Cowgirls women's basketball team, has successfully led her team to the NCAA Tournament in three out of her four seasons. However, she aims for greater achievements, as the team has only advanced to the second round once. This year, Hoyt has focused on assembling a deeper and more talented roster, highlighted by the addition of top transfers Audi Crooks from Iowa State and Liv McGill from Florida, both of whom averaged over 20 points per game last season. Hoyt believes that having the right players is essential to breaking through to the Sweet 16 and beyond. In addition to Crooks and McGill, the Cowgirls have brought in several other talented transfers, including Ellie Brueggemann, Yuting Deng, and Nene Ndiaye, all ranked among the Top 100 by USA Today. Hoyt emphasizes that depth is critical for success in March Madness, and she feels confident that her current roster, including returning star Stailee Heard, will enable the team to compete effectively in both the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.
