New web page designed to get out the word on Cowgirl guard

STILLWATER — Since scoring 45 points against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State point guard Andrea Riley's star has been on the rise.
The 5-foot-5 guard from Dallas has been featured in USA Today and on ESPN.com, and her web presence is about to become even bigger as Oklahoma State launches Riley10.com today.
The site's purpose is to get Riley attention for postseason honors, much like Bowman12.com was intended to get wide receiver Adarius Bowman attention during football season. Riley's site will include biographical information, statistics, quotes about Riley from other coaches and links to stories.
"It's pretty exciting, everybody's talking about it,” Riley said. "Like today a baseball player came up to me and said ‘I can't wait to see that Web site. I'm gonna look at it.'”
Riley said her initial reaction to the idea was: "Wow, am I that important or something?”
Despite the site and all the national attention, Riley said it hasn't been tough to keep her focus. Especially since OSU, coming off its first Big 12 loss of the season, hosts a very good Kansas State team on Sunday.
"This team is really good and they really execute their offense,” Riley said. "And they've got a great point guard. That's a good challenge for me.”
