Three things to know

• Oklahoma State center Kaylee Jensen was named one of 10 candidates for the Lisa Leslie Award, given by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Associatio­n. The award is in its inaugural year and will honor the top center in women’s Division I basketball. The 6-foot-4 Jensen leads the Big 12 in rebounding (10.3 per game) and double-doubles (12), and is fifth in scoring (17.4). She is averaging 20.9 points and 11.9 rebounds in conference play.

• Cowgirl senior Loryn Goodwin has been battling through a rough shooting stretch, hitting just 27.8 percent of her field-goal attempts (32-of-115) in the last six games. The 5-foot-9 point guard managed a pair of 30-point games during the stretch, and is averaging nearly six assists per game despite her shooting difficulti­es. Even with her late struggles, Goodwin is shooting 41.0 percent from the floor for the season and averaging 20.8 points per game.

• The game will serve as OSU’s Play4Kay contest, honoring the memory of Kay Yow, the late North Carolina State coach who died of cancer. The Cowgirls will be in pink-themed uniforms to bring awareness to women’s cancers.
