Claire Coggins entered Kansas State two seasons ago when they had players like Nicole Ohlde, Laurie Koehn, Kendra Wecker and Megan Mahoney. She was able to blend in as a role player and follow their lead.

This season, Coggins has been put in the leadership role with a young team that is trying to sustain the recent success the program has built. The result has been an up and down season for both Coggins and her team.

Coggins: "It's hard, but it's been a good hard."

The Wildcats face a tough test in the final week of their conference schedule. Tonight, they face conference leader Oklahoma. They close out the week against defending champion Baylor. A win against either team may help KSU return to the NCAA tournament this year.

Coggins expects her team to make it but says they need to play with a sense of urgency. Tonight's game is on Fox Sports Net.
