The Oklahoma State Cowboys are 7-10-1 ATS on a neutral floor the last two-plus seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oklahoma State will participate in the MGM Grand Showcase in Las Vegas, Nev., as it looks to extend its current winning streak to four games, which includes a 75-43 victory over Delaware State Tuesday.\u00a0 The Cowboys are averaging more than 87 points per game this season with four players scoring in double figures, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your college basketball predictions.\u00a0 The team also owns a +3.1 rebounding margin and +5.9 turnover margin.\u00a0 Oklahoma State is 9-9 SU and 7-10-1 ATS on a neutral floor the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are led by one of the best backcourts in the country, with Markel Brown and Marcus Smart combining to average 33.7 points per game.\u00a0 Oklahoma State is 103-197 SU all-time against ranked opponents, including 13 victories in that situation under head coach Travis Ford.\u00a0 The program leads the Big 12 Conference in outscoring opponents by an average of 24.5 points per game.\u00a0 Another part of the team\u2019s success is its ability to take advantage of opportunities at the charity stripe, as it paces the Big 12 in free-throws made and attempted.<\/p>\n

Colorado is aiming for its second-best start to a season in program history, while it has compiled a solid 18-4 record in December under head coach Tad Boyle.\u00a0 The Buffaloes are one of the top rebounding teams in the country\u2014winning that all-important statistical category by an average of 10.3 boards a contest.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that these two programs have split 12 meetings in this series when played on a neutral floor.\u00a0 Colorado is 5-1 SUATS as a neutral court underdog of 3.5 to 6 points, with the UNDER going 5-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Buffaloes have four probable starters averaging in double figures, with junior guard Spencer Dinwiddie being the main player to watch, as he\u2019s scoring 15.5 points a contest.\u00a0 Colorado welcomed back 72.9 percent of its scoring and 58.2 percent of its rebounding from a season ago, which is important to consider when looking over the college basketball betting lines Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Buffaloes due to their 5-0 ATS mark in their last five games.<\/p>\n
