The Oklahoma State Cowboys are 0-3 ATS as home favorites of 6.5 to 9 points since 2010-11<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oklahoma has won and covered the spread in back-to-back games, including a 75-48 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs as 15.5-point home favorites last time out, while going OVER the total for a third consecutive contest.\u00a0 \u201cWe have a great opportunity, we were ranked seventh in the Big 12 at the beginning of the year,\u201d stated Sooners guard Isaiah Cousins.\u00a0 The Sooners have won 11 of their last 17 meetings with the Cowboys, including a 77-68 victory as two-point home favorites on Jan. 12, while going OVER the betting total of 124.5.\u00a0 Oklahoma is 3-2 ATS as road underdogs of 6.5 to 9 points the last two-plus seasons, which is important to consider when looking over the college basketball odds page.<\/p>\n

The Sooners have already won more games away from home this year than they did over the last two seasons combined.\u00a0 Oklahoma is 4-4 in true road games during the 2012-13 NCAA basketball season, including a 2-3 mark in conference play.\u00a0 It\u2019s still important to note that the squad has been outscored by 16.2 points on average from the 3-point line in five Big 12 games away from Norman.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma State has won six games in a row, including a 91-67 victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders as 12-point road favorites last time out, while going OVER the total for the fifth time in six contests.\u00a0 The Cowboys were led by junior guard Markel Brown on the offensive end, as he managed to score 25 points versus the Red Raiders.\u00a0 \u201cIt was good to see him get going,\u201d commented Cowboys coach Travis Ford.\u00a0 He leads the team in averaging 15.8 points per game, while shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc. Oklahoma State is 0-3 ATS as home favorites of 6.5 to 9 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys defense is limiting opponents to just 60.8 points per game, while they rank second in the league in outscoring teams by an average of 7.9 points.\u00a0 Brown has played five games in this rivalry, averaging 11.2 points per game, including 19 in the first meeting this year.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Sooners due to their 4-1 ATS mark in the last five meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
